Claude Code

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

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:

      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "pdfcrowd-mcp-pdf-export"]
