Security Report

7.2

Moderate7.2Low Risk

This is a well-designed MCP server with proper authentication patterns, clean code structure, and appropriate permission scoping. The server uses environment variables for optional API key configuration, implements comprehensive input validation with Zod, and operates on local file paths to avoid transmitting PDF data through the model context. No security vulnerabilities were identified. Supply chain analysis found 1 known vulnerability in dependencies (0 critical, 1 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

From the project's GitHub README.

pdfops-mcp

MCP server that gives AI agents deterministic PDF tools, backed by the PDFops API: inspect AcroForm fields, fill forms, merge PDFs, and generate invoices — no Chromium, no native deps, nothing to host.

Tools operate on local file paths, so PDF bytes never transit the model context: your agent says "fill /tmp/form.pdf and save to /tmp/out.pdf" and gets a one-line confirmation back.

Install

Claude Code

claude mcp add pdfops -- npx -y pdfops-mcp

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json) / Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pdfops": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "pdfops-mcp"],
      "env": { "PDFOPS_API_KEY": "pdfops_live_…" }
    }
  }
}

PDFOPS_API_KEY is optional — without it you get the keyless trial (100 requests/IP/month). A free key (250/month, no card) takes one field at pdfops.dev/pricing.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`pdf_inspect`	List a PDF's form fields (names, types, options, values) + a paste-ready fill template. Call first on unfamiliar PDFs.
`pdf_fill`	Fill AcroForm fields → write the filled PDF.
`pdf_merge`	Merge ≥2 PDFs in order → write the result.
`pdf_invoice`	Structured data → complete invoice PDF. Deterministic: same input, byte-identical output.
`pdfops_usage`	Quota check for the configured key.

Example agent flow

"Fill the W-9 template at ~/docs/w9.pdf for Ada Lovelace and merge it with ~/docs/cover.pdf"

pdf_inspect → discovers field names + fill template
pdf_fill → writes the filled W-9
pdf_merge → writes the combined packet
