From the repository

Clone the repository, create a Python virtual environment, install dependencies from requirements.txt, and install external tools PDFtk and QPDF. Then add the server to the Claude Desktop configuration file (claude_desktop_config.json) pointing to server.py. After restarting Claude Desktop, issue natural language commands like “Merge these 3 PDFs into one document” or “Encrypt my report with password protection”. Alternatively, call tools programmatically using their Python signatures.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.
