## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-09-20.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 24/100
  - Malware scan not yet available for this package.
  - Known CVEs were checked across the 178 of 189 dependencies we could resolve, so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - Dependency health was assessed across the 178 of 189 dependencies we could resolve, so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 48/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 1 days ago).
  - Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 69/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 887 tokens (~68/item across 13 items; 13 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 13 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 13 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

## Common questions

### What is the io.github.jztan/pdf-mcp server?

io.github.jztan/pdf-mcp is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.jztan/pdf-mcp. Agentic RAG over one PDF or a whole folder: hybrid search, selective page reads, tables, OCR. This page covers its MCPB bundle (https://github.com/jztan/pdf-mcp/releases/download/v3.3.0/pdf-mcp-3.3.0.mcpb).

### Is the io.github.jztan/pdf-mcp server safe to use?

io.github.jztan/pdf-mcp scores 47 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. It declares no install or post-install scripts. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the io.github.jztan/pdf-mcp server expose?

io.github.jztan/pdf-mcp exposes 13 tools: pdf_info, pdf_search, pdf_read_pages, pdf_read_all, pdf_get_toc, and 8 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 887 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### What licence is the io.github.jztan/pdf-mcp server under?

io.github.jztan/pdf-mcp declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
