Details
From the project READMEEmboss
Turn flat PDFs into fillable forms, fill them, and fax them, right from Claude.
What it does
Emboss turns any PDF form into a fillable one, fills it from data or supporting documents, reads a filled form back, and faxes the result to a US, Canadian or Mexican fax number. Everything runs through the Emboss API, so results depend on what you send it and how the source document is structured.
Install in Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add GetEmboss-ai/emboss-claude-plugin
/plugin install emboss@getemboss
Then run /mcp and sign in to Emboss to connect your account.
Install in Claude.ai and Claude Desktop
Claude.ai and Claude Desktop connect to Emboss through the custom connector button rather than the plugin marketplace. See https://getemboss.ai/docs/claude for the setup steps. To give Claude the Emboss skill directly, download emboss-skill.zip and upload it as a skill.
Pricing
The first 5 form creations, 5 context fills, 5 standard fills, 5 checks, 5 read-backs and 5 packages each month are free; a job is free when it is 5 pages or fewer (a fill from documents counts the form and its documents together), and a longer job is charged without using a free one. See /pricing for full details.
Privacy
Only what you ask Claude to send to Emboss is sent. Once connected, Claude can see every form in your Emboss account and acts on them when you ask. See https://getemboss.ai/privacy for the full privacy policy.

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.
