Claude Code pdfedit mcp pdf_preview

How to: Claude Code pdfedit mcp pdf_preview

client:Claude Code transport:streamable-http tool:pdf_preview

Add pdfedit mcp to Claude Code

  1. 01

    Run this in your project directory.

claude mcp add --transport http pdfedit-mcp https://pdfedit-mcp-remote.niubai-pdfedit-remote-worker.workers.dev/mcp
  1. 02

    Restart your session so the server is picked up.

  2. 03

    Ask for something pdf_preview does. Claude Code lists the server's tools on connect and calls pdf_preview itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that pdfedit mcp's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Adds it for this project only. Append --scope user to make it available everywhere. Claude Code docs

Set these first

pdfedit mcp will not start until these are set, so pdf_preview never becomes available.

  • PDFEDIT_API_KEY
  • PDFEDIT_BASE_URL

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 16 October 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
