EasyPDF MCP server
Your AI says what to change. EasyPDF writes it into the PDF.
Maintained by Lorenzino69, author of EasyPDF.
EasyPDF is a remote Model Context Protocol server that lets ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, VS Code and any MCP client edit real PDF files. Ask your assistant to fix a date, an amount, a name or a typo: EasyPDF rewrites the text inside the original PDF, keeps the fonts and the layout, and shows a before/after preview in the chat. It also compresses, merges, splits, converts and translates PDFs.

21-second demo: one request, two edits written into the original invoice (fonts and layout kept), then the download. Also available as a GIF preview.

Install
Claude (claude.ai, desktop and mobile apps)
Open the listing at https://claude.ai/directory/easypdf, click Connect and confirm with your Google account.
Claude Code
The EasyPDF plugin adds the server plus skills that upload your local files and save the results next to them:
claude plugin marketplace add Lorenzino69/easypdf-claude-plugin
claude plugin install easypdf@easypdf
Or the server alone. Keep the trailing slash: without it, Claude Code rejects the OAuth resource.
claude mcp add --transport http easypdf https://www.easypdf.fr/mcp/
Cursor

ChatGPT
EasyPDF is published in the ChatGPT app directory: open https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6aa964ee34848191b5db7ae9bd2ca5b5 and add the app. Then, in a chat, attach a PDF and pick EasyPDF from the + menu.
You can also add the server yourself in developer mode:
- In Settings, open Apps, then Advanced settings, and turn on developer mode.
- Create an app named EasyPDF with the URL
https://www.easypdf.fr/chatgpt/mcpand no authentication. - In a chat, attach a PDF and pick EasyPDF from the + menu.
