One line, and the server is there

Nothing to install and no library to add: the client you already use registers the server, and the three tools appear.

terminal, claude code

$ claude mcp add --transport http pdf-archive \ "https://mcp.pdf-archive.com/?key=pdfa_••••••••" # server "pdf-archive" connected # tools: search · fetch · upload › list my latest uploads pdf-archive · search("*") # 3 recent files • contract-2026.pdf (filed 12·03·26) • terms-v4.pdf (filed 18·05·26) • logo-final.svg (filed 29·05·26)

§ 02 What the assistant can do 04 capabilities

Four capabilities

Search

The assistant queries your archive in plain language and finds the right document.

Fetch

It reads the content of a file, text, metadata, version, without leaving the editor.

Upload

It files a new document directly, into the folder you allow.

A scope you set

An access token limited to the folder or folders you choose, revocable in one click. Read only if you want.

§ 03 In practice One session

Your source of truth, inside the editor

Foundational notes kept in the archive, read at the source: no copy and paste, and no document that drifts from the one that decides.

claude code, session

› before touching the CSS, read the foundational design note again pdf-archive · search("foundational design note") → 1 result in folder:foundation-notes • design-guidelines.md (source of truth · updated 18·06·26) pdf-archive · fetch("design-guidelines.md") → rules loaded: ledger heritage, type trio, straight apostrophe › good. archive the version I have just amended pdf-archive · upload("design-guidelines.md" → folder:foundation-notes) → filed · dated 29·05·26 · version 8

An illustrative example.

§ 04 Security 03 guarantees

You keep control

Access down to the folder

A token only sees the folder you allow. The rest of your archive stays invisible to it.

Read only, if you prefer

Allow search and reading without allowing upload, if that is what you want.

Revocable at any time

A token that leaks, or that you no longer need, is revoked in one click. Accesses are logged.

§ 05 Beyond MCP 03 ways in

CLI, REST API, S3

The same token opens your archive to your scripts and to the tools you already use. All of it hosted in France.

Self-hosted CLI

A one line client, with no dependency.

$ pdf-archive upload invoice.pdf

REST API

Upload a file from any script.

$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer pdfa_…" \ -F file=@x.pdf …/api/upload/

S3 compatible

Works with aws-cli, rclone, s3cmd (signature V4).

$ aws --endpoint-url \ https://s3.pdf-archive.com \ s3 cp x.pdf s3://my-folder/

§ 06 Frequently asked 04 questions

What people ask us

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets an AI assistant (such as Claude Code) connect to outside data sources and tools. PDF Archive exposes your archive as an MCP server.

Which assistants work with it?

Any MCP client: Claude Code, the Claude applications, and the other tools that implement the protocol.

Are my files sent to a third party?

No. The assistant you use connects to your archive with your token. Your files stay hosted in France; nothing is shared without an action by the assistant you are driving.

Is it available now?

Yes, it is available and included on the paid tiers. Create a scoped token from your account, then connect it to Claude Code, to the CLI, to the REST API or to an S3 client.
