pdfedit-mcp

The agent-facing half of the PDF Edit API (https://api.niubai.vip): edit text inside PDFs that already exist -- replace, delete, redact, insert, fill forms -- keeping the original fonts and layout, with every change verified before it is returned.

Install in Cursor Install in VS Code npm MIT

Try it in 30 seconds, no key

The hosted endpoint answers anonymous callers on a free tier (20 pages a day per IP, outputs watermarked TEST). Nothing to install:

Claude Code

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

Cursor / VS Code / Claude Desktop (remote server) — add this server, or use the buttons above:

{ "pdfedit": { "url": "https://pdfedit-mcp-remote.niubai-pdfedit-remote-worker.workers.dev/mcp" } }

Then ask your agent: "In https://example.com/contract.pdf replace 'Acme Ltd' with 'Acme GmbH' and redact the IBAN." It returns the edited PDF link and a before/after picture of every change. A free API key (200 pages a month, no watermark on ordinary documents) takes one email at https://api.niubai.vip.
