MCP tools — 7 exposed · ~836 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability.

Tool Tokens

pdf_bates Bates-number a PDF ~158

Stamp sequential Bates numbers ({prefix}{zero-padded n}) on every page. Runs entirely on this machine — the file is read and written locally and never sent anywhere.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
color	string	—	Color as #RRGGBB (default #000000)
fontSize	number	—	Font size in points (default 10)
input	string	yes	Path to the input PDF
output	string	yes	Path to write the numbered PDF
padWidth	integer	—	Zero-pad width (default 6)
position	string	—	Corner (default bottom-right)
prefix	string	—	Text before the number (default none)
startNumber	integer	—	First number (default 1)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

pdf_clean_metadata Clean PDF metadata ~122

Strip document metadata: clears title, author, subject, keywords, creator and the CreationDate/ModDate in the info dictionary, AND deletes the document-level XMP metadata stream (the copy Acrobat/Word/InDesign write). Note: pdf-lib rewrites /Producer with its own signature on save, so that one field is replaced rather than emptied. Runs entirely on this machine — the file is read and written locally and never sent anywhere.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
input	string	yes	Path to the input PDF
output	string	yes	Path to write the cleaned PDF

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

output	string	yes	Path to write the merged PDF

No output schema declared.

pdf_page_count Count PDF pages ~48

Return the number of pages in a PDF. Runs entirely on this machine — the file is read and written locally and never sent anywhere.

No examples provided.

pdf_rotate Rotate PDF pages ~118

Rotate pages by a multiple of 90 degrees. Omit `pages` to rotate every page. Runs entirely on this machine — the file is read and written locally and never sent anywhere.

Split a PDF by 1-based page ranges (one output file per comma group, e.g. "1-3,5"), or extract specific pages into a single PDF (e.g. "1,3,5"). Provide exactly one of `ranges` or `pages`. Runs entirely on this machine — the file is read and written locally and never sent anywhere.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
input	string	yes	Path to the input PDF
output	string	yes	Output path. In range mode with >1 group, files get -1, -2, … suffixes.
pages	string	—	1-based pages for a single combined output, e.g. "1,3,5"
