PDF Annotator FAQs

Question 1

What is PDF Annotator?

Accepted Answer

PDF Annotator is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to enable AI clients, such as Claude, to safely interact with your PDF documents. It allows AI to extract specific content like annotations, highlights, and text.

Question 2

What information can PDF Annotator extract from my documents?

Question 3

How does PDF Annotator ensure the security of my PDFs?

Accepted Answer

Security is a core feature. PDF Annotator strictly limits access to PDFs only from explicitly allowed and configurable directories. This ensures that the AI client can only interact with documents you've explicitly permitted, maintaining your privacy and control.

While primarily designed as an MCP server for Claude, PDF Annotator is compatible with any AI client that supports the Model Context Protocol. It allows these clients to work with your PDFs safely by adhering to the defined protocol.

Question 5

Can I control which PDF files or directories PDF Annotator can access?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolute control is provided. You configure specific directories during setup (either via positional arguments or the `--allow-dir` flag), and the server will strictly limit its operations to PDFs found within those designated paths.
