How It Works

The PDFDancer MCP server gives your AI coding assistant instant access to searchable PDFDancer SDK documentation. No more context switching or manual doc searches.

Install MCP Server

Claude Code: Run this command (takes 3 seconds)

claude mcp add pdfdancer -- npx -y @pdfdancer/pdfdancer-mcp

Cursor:

Other tools: Add this config to your editor's MCP settings

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pdfdancer-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pdfdancer/pdfdancer-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Start Prompting

Your AI now has access to PDFDancer docs and can build anything PDF-related

💬"Create a PDF invoice generator in Python, use pdfdancer"

Real Example

Here's an actual conversation from Claude Code. Notice how Claude automatically searches the docs and implements the solution:

👤

create a typescript project which creates a pdf with the words "Hello World" on it. Use pdfdancer

🤖

🔍 Searching PDFDancer docs...pdfdancer-mcp search-docs "create new PDF from scratch"

📦 Setting up project...

npm init -y
npm install pdfdancer-client-typescript
Created src/main.ts with PDF generation code

✅ Done! Generated output.pdf with "Hello World"

👤

add logo.png to the top-right corner

🤖

🔍 Searching PDFDancer docs...pdfdancer-mcp search-docs "add image to PDF"

✅ Done! Added logo to top-right corner at (500, 700)
