Pdf Extract

Developer REST API MCP network tool

PDF Text Extractor. Extract text and structured JSON (with bounding boxes) from a PDF. Accepts either a public https:// URL pointing to a PDF, or a base64-encoded PDF string. Runs entirely on Cloudflare Workers via WebAssembly — the bytes are not logged. Best for documents under 10MB.

This page documents the HTTP endpoint POST /api/tools/pdf-extract/execute. See the MCP reference →

This tool fetches a fixed, hard-coded public upstream — never a private host. Results depend on that upstream.
