MCP support
ezpzfile-mcp exposes six file-processing tools to MCP clients: doc_read, doc_convert, pdf_edit, pdf_info, image_edit, and qr_make. File operations run locally; the README notes that background removal downloads and caches its model and runtime.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Details
From the project READMEezpzfile-mcp
File tools for AI agents. Read and convert documents (DOCX, PDF, HWP, HWPX, EML, and Japanese JTD and XDW), turn PDFs back into Word, Excel or HWP, edit PDFs, resize and clean images, cut out backgrounds, make QR codes. Everything runs on your machine and no file is ever uploaded.

What it saves
The same four files were placed in two sessions and the same task sentence was handed to the same model. One side could only use this server. The other had no dedicated tools and was free to use the shell and Node.
| Without tools | With ezpzfile-mcp | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | $0.28 | $0.13 |
| Wall time | 9:06 | 0:39 |
| Tasks finished | 2 / 4 | 4 / 4 |
| Tool calls | 20 | 10 |
| Tokens | 510,607 | 184,605 |
That is 53% less cost and 93% less time. Tokens and cost are not estimates; they are the per-message figures the sessions recorded, added up. Measured 2026-09-12.
The bare session never started two of the tasks. It spent the clock hunting for and installing libraries for the two Korean documents. Read the gap as a floor, not a ceiling: had it been made to finish all 4, the difference would be wider.

The tools
Six of them, not twenty five. Tool definitions sit in the model's context for every
conversation, so related jobs share one tool and an argument picks between them.
mcp/README.md has the full list and every argument.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
doc_read | Text out of DOCX, PDF, HWP, HWPX, EML, JTD and XDW, tables included, or what a file records about itself |
doc_convert | Documents to PDF, PDF back to Word, Excel or HWP, PDF pages to images, sheets to CSV or JSON, Korean formats to each other |
pdf_edit | Merge, extract, delete, rotate, reorder, split, compress, protect, unlock, replace text |
pdf_info | Page count, page sizes, encryption, metadata |
image_edit | Resize, compress, convert (iPhone HEIC too), strip EXIF and GPS, cut out the background |
qr_make | A link or some text as a PNG or SVG |
Layout
| Path | What it is |
|---|---|
mcp/ | The package: server, tools, build |
src/lib/ | Code shared with ezpzfile.com |
public/vendor/ | The HWP, JTD and XDW engines, libheif and the fonts embedded into generated PDFs (kept out of git; they ship inside the npm package) |

sharp and @napi-rs/canvas are native, so they are built for your platform on
install. Background removal downloads a 4.4MB model and a 14MB runtime the first
time you ask for a cut-out, then caches them under ~/.cache/ezpzfile-mcp. That is
the only thing here that touches the network, and it uploads nothing.

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.
