/plugin install pdfcrowd-export-pdf@pdfcrowd

Option B — Register the MCP server:

claude mcp add --scope user pdfcrowd-export-pdf -- npx -y pdfcrowd-mcp-pdf-export

Or add the equivalent JSON to ~/.claude.json (user scope) or .mcp.json (project scope):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pdfcrowd-export-pdf": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "pdfcrowd-mcp-pdf-export"]
    }
  }
}
Codex CLI
codex mcp add pdfcrowd-export-pdf -- npx -y pdfcrowd-mcp-pdf-export

Or add manually to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.pdfcrowd-export-pdf]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "pdfcrowd-mcp-pdf-export"]
Gemini CLI
gemini mcp add -s user pdfcrowd-export-pdf npx -y pdfcrowd-mcp-pdf-export

Or add manually to ~/.gemini/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pdfcrowd-export-pdf": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "pdfcrowd-mcp-pdf-export"]
    }
  }
}
Notes
  • Restart your CLI after configuration to load the server

Personal Credentials

Personal credentials can be set in:

  1. Config file ~/.pdfcrowd-mcp:
     PDFCROWD_USERNAME=your_username
 PDFCROWD_API_KEY=your_api_key
  2. Environment variables PDFCROWD_USERNAME and PDFCROWD_API_KEY.

Privacy

Your source code never leaves your machine — only the rendered document is sent to PDFCrowd for PDF conversion.
