PDF OCR MCP Server

This project is designed for local corpora that have already been split into page images. It exposes that OCR corpus through MCP tools, resources, and prompts so MCP clients can search, inspect, and summarize page content efficiently.

Features

HTTP-based MCP server using Streamable HTTP and Express
OCR pipeline for converting page images into .txt files with Tesseract
Safe file access patterns to prevent path traversal
In-memory LRU-style cache for hot text pages
Fast file-list caching for repeated MCP calls
Session-aware MCP transport with graceful shutdown
Health and readiness endpoints for local ops and deployment checks
MCP tools, resources, and prompts for page discovery and retrieval

Repository Structure

.
|-- pages/                  # Source page images (.png)
|-- texts/                  # OCR output text files (.txt)
|-- src/
|   |-- scripts/
|   |   `-- index.ts        # OCR generation script
|   `-- tools/
|       |-- http-server.ts  # Express + HTTP MCP server entrypoint
|       |-- mcp-server.ts   # MCP tools/resources/prompts registration
|       |-- text-repository.ts
|       `-- tools.ts        # Compatibility entrypoint
|-- package.json
`-- tsconfig.json

Architecture

The codebase is split into three clean layers:

TextRepository Handles safe file resolution, page listing, cached reads, range reads, and text search.
createTextMcpServer Defines the MCP contract exposed to clients, including tools, resource templates, and prompts.
http-server Hosts the MCP server over Express using Streamable HTTP transport, manages sessions, and exposes operational endpoints.

Requirements

Node.js 18+
npm
Tesseract OCR installed and available on PATH

The OCR script currently invokes tesseract directly, so the binary must be accessible from your shell.

Installation

npm install

OCR Workflow

If your page images already exist in pages/, generate text files with:

npm run generate:textfiles

This will:

read .png files from pages/
sort them by page number
run Tesseract with English language data
write matching .txt files into texts/

Running the MCP Server

Start the HTTP-based MCP server with:

npm run start

The server defaults to:

MCP endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:3000/mcp
health endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:3000/healthz
readiness endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:3000/readyz

Environment Variables

The server supports the following environment variables:

Variable	Default	Description
`MCP_HOST`	`127.0.0.1`	Host interface to bind the server to
`MCP_PORT`	`3000`	Port used by the HTTP MCP server
`MCP_BODY_LIMIT`	`1mb`	Maximum JSON request body size
`MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS`	empty	Optional comma-separated host allowlist
`MCP_PRELOAD_CACHE`	`true`	Preload text content into cache on startup

Example:

MCP_HOST=127.0.0.1
MCP_PORT=3000
MCP_BODY_LIMIT=1mb
MCP_PRELOAD_CACHE=true

MCP Capabilities

Tools

list_text_pages Lists available OCR text files with pagination support.
read_text_page Reads a single OCR page by file name and can optionally truncate the response.
read_text_range Reads a bounded character range from a page for more efficient retrieval.
search_text_pages Searches the corpus and returns contextual snippets for matching pages.
get_corpus_stats Returns repository and cache metrics for diagnostic
