<details> <summary><strong>Cursor</strong></summary>

Add to .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global):

{
  "mcpServers": {

      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@aryanbv/pdf-toolkit-mcp"]

  }
}

<details> <summary><strong>VS Code</strong></summary>

> VS Code uses `"servers"`, NOT `"mcpServers"`. Copying the config from other clients will silently fail. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with Agent mode enabled.

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "pdf-toolkit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@aryanbv/pdf-toolkit-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

</details>

<details> <summary><strong>Windsurf</strong></summary>

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pdf-toolkit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@aryanbv/pdf-toolkit-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
