Option 1 — hosted (no install)

Use Apify's hosted MCP server with exactly these tools:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "document-tools": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=ai_admin/document-to-markdown,ai_admin/office-to-pdf,ai_admin/pdf-image-converter,ai_admin/audio-transcriber,ai_admin/image-to-text-ocr"
    }
  }
}

On first connection your browser opens to sign in to Apify (or pass Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>).

Option 2 — local (stdio)

git clone https://github.com/AndriyVK/-apify-document-tools
cd -- -apify-document-tools/mcp-server
pip install -r requirements.txt

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "document-tools": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/path/to/-apify-document-tools/mcp-server/server.py"],
      "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "your Apify API token" }
    }
  }
}

Get the token in Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations. New Apify accounts include free monthly usage credit.
