What is the remote MCP URL?

Use https://rosettafolio.com/api/mcp with Streamable HTTP. Authenticate with Authorization: Bearer or X-API-Key: . Copy the ready-made config from the install panel below.

What npm package do I install for local MCP?

Run npx -y rosetta-mcp. The package name is rosetta-mcp on npm — no separate CLI install required. Use this only if your client does not support remote HTTP MCP.

Which environment variables are required for local MCP?

Set ROSETTA_API_KEY (from your Rosetta dashboard) and ROSETTA_API_URL (https://rosettafolio.com). Legacy DOCCHAT_* env vars still work as fallbacks.

How do I add Rosetta MCP to Cursor?

Copy the remote MCP config into .cursor/mcp.json (recommended) or use Install in Cursor. Restart Cursor, then use pdf_parse and other tools in chat.

Does the MCP server support scanned PDFs?

No. Rosetta MCP handles digital PDFs with an embedded text layer only — same as the REST API. No OCR.

Where can I find Rosetta MCP listed?

Install from npm (`npx -y rosetta-mcp`, current 0.2.2). Official MCP Registry name: io.github.Jcjimenezglez/rosetta-mcp. See the discovery links below for Cursor docs, Claude docs, and community lists.

MCP server

PDF MCP Server for Agent Builders

A remote MCP server for builders using Cursor or Claude who need digital PDFs in an agent or pipeline. MCP tools — pdf_parse, pdf_extract, pdf_split, pdf_ask, pdf_credit_usage, pdf_delete — map directly to the REST API. Connect via remote Streamable HTTP at https://rosettafolio.com/api/mcp (recommended) or the local npm package rosetta-mcp.

Text-layer PDFs only — no OCR. Not for chat-with-PDF office workflows or scanned-paper documents. Preview parse in the browser with pdf to markdown, then use 200 free credits/month via API key (paid plans after that).

Remote endpoint (recommended)

URL: https://rosettafolio.com/api/mcp
Auth: Authorization: Bearer <api_key> or X-API-Key: <api_key>

Local stdio (optional)

Run the npm stdio server locally if your client does not support remote HTTP MCP yet.
