And MCP makes the experience even better. With Pdf4me MCP integration, you can draft, triage, summarise emails, and much more, all without leaving the terminal or the app, whichever you prefer. ## Also integrate Pdf4me with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/pdf4me/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/pdf4me/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/pdf4me/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/pdf4me/framework/claude-cowork) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/pdf4me/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/pdf4me/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/pdf4me/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/pdf4me/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/pdf4me/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/pdf4me/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/pdf4me/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/pdf4me/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/pdf4me/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### Why use Composio? Apart from a managed and hosted MCP server, you will get: - CodeAct: A dedicated workbench that allows GPT to write its code to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling. - Large tool responses: Handle them to minimise context rot. - Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so GPTs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need. ## Connect Pdf4me to Codex ### How to install Pdf4me MCP in Codex ### Run the setup command Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex. ```bash codex mcp add composio --url https://connect.composio.dev/mcp ``` ## What is the Pdf4me MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Pdf4me MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Pdf4me account. It provides structured and secure access to document conversion, letting your agent automate tasks like transforming files, generating PDFs, and preparing documents for further processing—all without manual intervention. - Seamless document-to-PDF conversion: Instantly convert a wide variety of document and image formats to high-quality PDFs using natural language commands. - Batch processing automation: Let your agent handle multiple file conversions at once, streamlining workflows for reports, forms, and scanned images. - Workflow integration: Enable your agent to convert documents to PDF as part of larger automation chains, making it easy to prep files for storage, sharing, or e-signatures. - Base64 file transformation: Accept base64-encoded files from other sources and have your agent convert them to PDFs, ready for further use or archiving. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `PDF4ME_CONVERT_TO_PDF` | Convert to PDF | Tool to convert various document and image formats to PDF. Handles one file per call; multi-file PDFs require multiple calls followed by a separate merge step. Conversion permanently removes interactive form field editability — retain the original file as backup, and ensure all form fields are populated before converting. Use when you need to transform base64-encoded files into PDFs before further processing. | | `PDF4ME_EXTRACT_TEXT` | Extract Text from PDF | Tool to extract embedded text from text-based PDFs using PDF4me's ExtractResources endpoint. Use when you need to retrieve searchable text content from PDFs for analysis or processing. This tool does not perform OCR; for scanned or image-only PDFs, use OCR endpoints instead. | | `PDF4ME_FILL_PDF_FORM` | Fill PDF Form | Tool to fill PDF form fields programmatically using JSON or XML data. Use when you need to generate reports or populate forms from various data sources with mail merge functionality. Supports filling multiple documents from a list of data collection items. | | `PDF4ME_READ_BARCODES_FROM_IMAGE` | Read Barcodes from Image | Tool to read and extract barcode or QR code data from image files (JPG/PNG). Use when you need to decode barcodes from images for data extraction or verification. Supports various barcode types including QR codes, Code128, DataMatrix, and more. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Pdf4me MCP server provides comprehensive access to Pdf4me operations through Composio. Once connected, you can perform all major Pdf4me actions directly from Codex using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Conclusion You've successfully integrated Pdf4me with Codex using Composio's MCP server.

With a standalone Pdf4me MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Pdf4me tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Pdf4me and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Codex? Yes, you can. Codex fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Pdf4me tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Pdf4me while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Pdf4me scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Pdf4me data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
