MCP server for terminal commands, file operations, and process management
KDAN PDF is installed from its publisher's own source and answers where it runs, so this marketplace is not in the path of a single call. There is no address here to send one to, and a panel that pretended otherwise would be showing you an answer we made up. Install it and call it from your own client — the Installation tab has the entry for each one.
What it does
Upload, edit, compress, protect, redact, and compare PDFs with KDAN PDF in Claude and ChatGPT.
Quickstart
# 1 — add it to Claude Code
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http kdan-pdf-mcp https://mcp.kdandoc.com/mcp
# 2 — ask your agent for something these tools do
# compare_pdfs, get_latest_comparison, compress_pdf and 13 more
KDAN PDF costs nothing on mcprush: there is no plan to choose here, no cap to set and nothing mcprush can bill you for.
Collected from a public index. Nobody has claimed this account, so nothing here was written by its author — claim it if it is yours.
Where are you running it?
Every route below installs the same thing and ends at the same approval screen. Nothing here runs on your machine and nothing runs on ours: this server answers at its publisher’s own address, and what you install is the connection straight to it.
This is a public server: it answers at its publisher’s own address and this marketplace is not in the path. Claude Code registers it in one command; --scope user makes it available in every project. The transport below is http, as the publisher's own manifest declares it.
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http kdan-pdf-mcp https://mcp.kdandoc.com/mcpReconnect, or start a new session, and the tools appear in the model’s tool list.
One config entry pointing straight at the publisher’s own address — this marketplace is not in the path, and nothing from this listing executes on your machine.
16 tools, with what each one reads, writes and reaches shown before you agree — the same list on every route above. Read the tool surface.
Tool surface
What the model actually sees. Descriptions are diffed on every release — see version history.
MANDATORY for all document comparison requests. Compare two PDFs side-by-side. When the user asks to compare, diff, or find differences between two PDFs, you MUST call this tool — NEVER attempt to compare documents using text analysis. Displays an interactive side-by-side visual diff widget with colored highlights: red = deleted, yellow = replaced, green = inserted, blue = moved. Before calling,
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | string | yes | Session ID that both jobs belong to. |
| job_id_a | string | yes | Job ID for the first (original) PDF. |
| job_id_b | string | yes | Job ID for the second (modified) PDF. |
Re-run the most recent PDF comparison for a session. For widget recovery only. The comparison widget calls this when the host did not hand it the comparison payload. Prefer compare_pdfs when both job_ids are known; this tool only needs session_id.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | string | yes | Session ID whose latest comparison should be returned. |
Compress a PDF to reduce its file size and return a new versioned file. MANDATORY: Before calling this tool, call 'check_upload_status' with the session_id to confirm the file exists and retrieve the latest job_id. Skipping this check and calling compress_pdf directly is FORBIDDEN. Each call creates a NEW job_id (with parent_job_id linking to the source). The original PDF version is preserved un
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | string | yes | Session ID that the job belongs to. |
| job_id | string | yes | Job ID of the PDF to compress (use the latest job_id from check_upload_status). |
Delete one or more pages from a PDF and return a new versioned file. MANDATORY: Before calling this tool, call 'check_upload_status' with the session_id to confirm the file exists and retrieve the latest job_id. Skipping this check and calling delete_pdf_page directly is FORBIDDEN. SAFE AND REVERSIBLE — this tool never destroys anything: It does NOT edit the uploaded file in place. It writes a N
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | string | yes | Session ID that the job belongs to. |
| job_id | string | yes | Job ID of the PDF to modify (use the latest job_id from check_upload_status). |
| page_numbers | array | yes | 1-based page numbers to delete. Duplicates are ignored. |
Add password protection to an unprotected PDF file. Creates a NEW job_id (with parent_job_id linking to the source). After the operation completes, call 'view_pdf' with the new job_id to display the result. Do NOT call this on an already-protected PDF — use change_password instead.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | string | yes | Session ID that the job belongs to. |
| job_id | string | yes | Job ID of the unprotected PDF to protect (use the latest job_id). |
| owner | string | yes | Owner password (grants full PDF permissions). |
| password | string | yes | User password (required to open the PDF). |
Change the password of an already-protected PDF file. Creates a NEW job_id (with parent_job_id linking to the source). After the operation completes, call 'view_pdf' with the new job_id to display the result. Do NOT call this on an unprotected PDF — use set_password instead.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | string | yes | Session ID that the job belongs to. |
| job_id | string | yes | Job ID of the password-protected PDF (use the latest job_id). |
| old_password | string | yes | The current user password needed to unlock the PDF. |
| owner | string | yes | New owner password. |
| password | string | yes | New user password. |
Return per-page, per-line text for identifying redaction targets. Read-only: does not modify job state. ALWAYS call this before redact_by_text_range. The returned 'text' field for each line is the source of truth — you MUST use it to count exact character positions. Character positions within each line are 0-based from the start of that line.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | string | yes | Session ID that the job belongs to. |
| job_id | string | yes | Job ID of the PDF to inspect (use the latest job_id). |
Redact PDF text by specifying the exact text to remove on each line. MANDATORY WORKFLOW — follow every step in order before calling this tool: Step 1 — Retrieve line text: Call list_redactable_line_text and note the exact 'text' string and 'line_index' for every line you intend to redact. Step 2 — Identify the text to redact: Provide the exact substring to remove. The value must app
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | string | yes | Session ID that the job belongs to. |
| job_id | string | yes | Job ID of the PDF to redact (use the latest job_id). |
| content | array | yes | List of pages to redact. Each item must include: - page_index (int): 1-based page number. - lines (list): each entry contains: - line_index (int): line index from list_redactable_line_text. - |
Upload a PDF from a ChatGPT file attachment. MANDATORY WORKFLOW — follow EVERY step in order: 1. ALWAYS call check_upload_status FIRST — even if you think the file is new. 2. If a job with the same filename already exists, reuse its job_id — do NOT call upload_pdf. 3. Only call upload_pdf if the file is confirmed absent from check_upload_status. Skipping step 1 and calling upload_pdf directly is
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| pdf_file | object | yes | The file attachment, supplied by the host. |
| session_id | no | Existing session ID to group this file with previous uploads. If omitted, a new session is created. Always pass the same session_id throughout the entire conversation. |
Upload multiple PDF files from ChatGPT file attachments. Use this when the user provides multiple file attachments in ChatGPT. Downloads each PDF from its signed URL and stores it. Returns session_id and a list of job_ids. Like upload_pdf, this ONLY works on hosts that resolve chat attachments for you (ChatGPT). On Claude and other MCP clients, call create_upload_page instead. Never invent or gu
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| pdf_files | array | yes | The file attachments, supplied by the host. |
| session_id | no | Existing session ID to group these files. If omitted, a new session is created. |
Display an interactive PDF upload widget directly in the chat. Use this when the user wants to upload a local PDF file from their device. This is the standard upload method for MCP clients (e.g. Claude) where file attachments with download URLs are not available. Do NOT call upload_pdf when using this tool — the widget handles the upload automatically. The widget renders inline and the PDF viewe
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | no | Existing session ID to continue an ongoing workflow. If omitted, a new session is created. Always pass the same session_id throughout the entire conversation to keep all files grouped together. |
Check existing uploads and determine which files still need uploading. Call this BEFORE upload_pdf or create_upload_page to avoid duplicate uploads. Also call it after the user uploads via the widget to discover the new file and its job_id. Returns 'session_id' (always — store it!), plus: - 'already_uploaded': files from pending_filenames that are already in this session, with reusable job_ids
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | no | Session ID from a previous upload_pdf or create_upload_page call. If omitted, a new session_id is generated and ALL pending files are treated as needs_upload (new workflow). | |
| pending_filenames | no | Bare filenames to check, e.g. ['FileA.pdf', 'FileB.pdf']. Never include directory paths like '/mnt/data/FileA.pdf'. |
Display an already-uploaded PDF in an interactive viewer widget. Call this after delete_pdf_page, set_password, change_password, redact_pii, and redact_by_text_range to show the updated PDF. Also call when the user explicitly asks to (re-)display a specific PDF. AFTER AN UPLOAD — this is the step that is most often skipped: - After upload_pdf / batch_upload_pdf (ChatGPT file attachment): those t
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | no | Session ID that the job belongs to. | |
| job_id | string | no | Job ID of the PDF to display (use the latest job_id). |
Return current status of a PDF viewer job. Used internally by the viewer widget.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | no | Session ID of the job. | |
| job_id | string | no | Job ID of the PDF to check. |
Use this when you need to read the text content of each page to decide which pages to delete. Returns page count and a text preview of every page. Use for text-based identification: table of contents, blank pages, cover page, etc. For visual content (logos, images, photos), use get_pdf_page_images instead.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | string | yes | Session ID that the job belongs to. |
| job_id | string | yes | Job ID of the PDF to inspect. |
Use this when you need to visually inspect PDF pages to identify content that cannot be detected from text alone — for example, pages containing a logo, a photograph, a watermark, a QR code, or any visual element. Returns rendered JPEG screenshots as images you can see. Returns at most 10 pages per call. ALWAYS start from start_page=1 and paginate through the ENTIRE document: check 'has_more' in s
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | string | yes | Session ID that the job belongs to. |
| job_id | string | yes | Job ID of the PDF to render. |
| start_page | integer | no | 1-based page number to start from (default 1). |
| count | integer | no | Number of pages to render per call (capped at MAX_IMAGE_PAGES). |
- Every tool — any call limit is its publisher’s, not ours
- No card, and mcprush charges nothing for it
- Runs at its publisher’s own address — this marketplace is not in the path
- Nothing to cap, because mcprush bills nothing
What counts against your monthly calls
| Tool | Unit | Calls used | Out of the allowance |
|---|
Nothing here is billable: mcprush charges nothing to install KDAN PDF or to call it, at any volume.
Two independent axes, because powerful and malicious are different questions. The grade is threat only. The capability level is blast radius, and it is never a penalty on the grade — it is priced as one subtract-only term in the score, where you can see it.
This listing is an address its publisher runs, and you connect to it directly — this marketplace is not in the path. The scanner reads packages and public source, and an address is neither: the repository linked on this page is where this record was collected from, not a copy of what the address serves, so it is not graded in its place. So there is no grade — not a withheld one, an unmeasured one.
Release history
This is an address its publisher runs: which release it serves is theirs to choose, so there is nothing here to pin. The history below is for reading; the current release on file is 1.0.0.
No release note was published with this version.
One review per account, from a signed-in account that does not publish this listing. Nothing else is asked — you can say what you think before you install it. Publishers can reply once per review, and a review can be edited or deleted by whoever wrote it.
Any signed-in account that does not publish KDAN PDF can review it, once — before installing it or after. A review from an account that has installed it is marked as one.
Nobody has reviewed this listing. The rating on the card is the mean of the reviews written here and nothing else, so there is no rating until somebody writes the first — which takes a signed-in account that does not publish it, and nothing else.
