- If it is a string starting with "http://" or "https://", it will be treated as a remote URL.
- Otherwise, it will be treated as a local file path (absolute path recommended, e.g. "/Users/yourname/file.pdf").
- format: the desired format for the parsed output. Supports: "json", "markdown"
- Returns the extracted content in the specified format (JSON dictionary or Markdown string).
- source: required: The source of the PDF file to be parsed.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
