**An agent can connect on its own if it already holds `PDFOPS_MCP_TOKEN`.** Remote endpoint behind a static API key or header. The registry never sees the value; the agent fills the placeholder.

## Connection (mcpServers)

## Quality 100/100 (strong)

### protocol: 100 (weight 25)

- pass `protocol.modern`: supports 2026-07-28 (server/discover)
- pass `protocol.stateless`: answers without a session
- pass `protocol.transport`: streamable HTTP
- pass `protocol.list_ttl`: tool list is cacheable (ttlMs 300000)

### authorization: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `auth.prm`, `auth.as_metadata`, `auth.cimd`: no remote uses OAuth
- n/a `auth.secret_in_url`: no templated URL

### tool hygiene: 100 (weight 30)

- pass `tools.descriptions`: every tool has a description
- pass `tools.description_length`: descriptions are concise
- pass `tools.schemas`: every tool has an object input schema
- pass `tools.annotations`: 5 of 5 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- pass `tools.directory_hints`: every tool declares readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 1,281 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

### stability: 100 (weight 15)

- pass `stability.changes`: no tool changes in 30 days
- pass `stability.rug_pull`: no tool changed its meaning under the same name

### dependencies: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `deps.known_vulns`, `deps.mcp_sdk_version`, `deps.resolvable`: deps.dev does not know pdfops-mcp@0.3.6

- tools: 5, about 1,281 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: addc135e36de7cf10e0903bf33ac6a69
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/dev.pdfops/pdfops-mcp.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/dev.pdfops/pdfops-mcp)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (5)

- `pdf_fill`: Fill AcroForm form fields in a PDF and return the result. Field names must exist in the PDF (use pdf_inspect first). All values are strings; checkboxes take "true"/"false"; dropdown/radio/optionlist values must be one of the field's options; text values must respect the field's maxLength from pdf_inspect. The source PDF is never modified. Returns the filled PDF inline as an application/pdf resource. Encrypted PDFs are rejected with decrypt advice (common for government blanks with an empty user password).
- `pdf_inspect`: List a PDF's AcroForm form fields — names, types, options, current values, per-field maxLength where declared — plus a paste-ready fillTemplate object for pdf_fill and a hasXFA flag (hybrid AcroForm/XFA inputs lose their XFA layer when filled). A PDF with no fillable form returns count 0. Read-only: the PDF is fetched but never modified. Call this FIRST when filling an unfamiliar PDF, since pdf_fill rejects unknown field names and over-length values.
- `pdf_invoice`: Generate a complete, professionally laid-out invoice PDF from structured data — no template needed. Deterministic: the same input produces byte-identical output (safe to re-run). Note: without a paid PDFops key the output carries a small "Generated with pdfops.dev" footer line. Returns the invoice inline as an application/pdf resource. Use this when you have invoice DATA and no document; if you already have an invoice PDF or a fillable template to populate, use pdf_fill instead.
- `pdf_merge`: Merge two or more PDFs into one, in the order given, and return the result. Sources are read only and never modified. Returns the merged PDF inline as an application/pdf resource. This tool only concatenates whole documents: it does not reorder, rotate or delete pages within them, and it does not fill forms — use pdf_fill for a fillable form and pdf_invoice to build a document from data. An unreadable or rejected input fails with an error, so a partial merge is never returned.
- `pdfops_usage`: Check the current PDFops API quota for the configured key: tier, limit, used, remaining, the billing period, and the reset timestamp. Read-only and safe to call before a batch to confirm there is headroom. Uses the API key this connection authenticated with.
