MCP server (use it from Claude or ChatGPT)
Última atualização: 2026-09-01
PDFIntact runs an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Connect it to your AI assistant and you can convert PDFs inside the conversation — no browser step.
What it does
- Give it a PDF URL or file and it returns tables, body text, charts and formulas as structured data
- It reads scanned (image-only) PDFs — the ones an assistant cannot read by being handed the raw file
- It recovers body text from PDFs that turn to gibberish when copied (missing ToUnicode)
- Every block is marked as measured or estimated. Estimates are never returned as facts
Endpoint
https://mcp.pdfintact.com/mcpAuth is OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration. On first use you are asked to sign in through the browser. There is no password.
Setup
In Claude Code, add it with this command.
claude mcp add --transport http pdfintact https://mcp.pdfintact.com/mcpIn Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor and similar clients, add the URL under Connectors / MCP servers. Paste the endpoint URL above as-is.
On the first tool call a browser window opens and a sign-in link is emailed to you. Open the link and the connection is complete.
Account and auth
- Sign-in is a link sent by email — no password
- Using it over MCP requires credits. One credit converts one page
- Check the balance with get_balance; when it is short, the error carries a purchase link
Tools
| name | description |
|---|---|
convert_pdf | Converts a PDF. Pass a public URL (up to ~200MB) or base64 (up to ~20MB). Processing is asynchronous and returns a job_handle immediately. |
get_result | Fetches progress and the result for a job_handle returned by convert_pdf. Poll this until it finishes — do not call convert_pdf again. |
get_balance | Returns the credit balance and the soonest-expiring lot. |
Pricing
- One credit converts one page. Credits are reserved before processing starts
- Credits expire 180 days after purchase
- The price table is on the home page
Limitations
- Charts without printed value labels come back as estimates, always flagged as such
- Handwriting-only documents are not supported
- Processing takes real time — roughly 7 seconds per page, so about 40 minutes for 500 pages
Questions
Can I get a table out of a PDF into Excel from Claude?
Yes. Connect the PDFIntact MCP server and hand Claude the PDF in the conversation; the tables come back as structured data. To save an .xlsx file, download it from the result page or your account page.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Yes. Image-only PDFs go through layout detection and then a vision-language model — documents an assistant cannot read from the raw file.
What does it cost?
One credit per page, bought in packs. It is a one-off purchase rather than a subscription, valid for 180 days.
Do I need an API key?
No. It connects over OAuth 2.1; you sign in once through an emailed link. There is no key to issue or store.
