PromptReady MCP

Official Model Context Protocol client for PromptReady — convert PDF/CSV to Markdown from AI agents (Grok, Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP hosts).

Same PromptReady account and credits as the web app.

Features

• Browser Google login (tokens stay on your machine)
• get_credits, convert_pdf, get_status, wait_and_download
• Saved convert defaults (engine, tables, images) — not on every call
• Factory default: PaddleOCR-VL, tables on, images off

Install

pip install promptready-mcp

Or run it without installing:

uvx promptready-mcp

git clone https://github.com/hydrojwh/promptready-mcp.git
cd promptready-mcp
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

Login (once per machine)

promptready-mcp-login

If you installed with uvx, the login command lives in the same package:

uvx --from promptready-mcp promptready-mcp-login

Either opens Google OAuth and saves credentials to ~/.config/promptready/credentials.json (file mode 0600). That path is in your home directory, so it survives uvx cache resets. You can also log in from inside an MCP host by calling the login tool.

After you sign in, the browser returns to http://127.0.0.1:18765/callback — a local page started by the login command. No Supabase configuration is needed.

promptready-mcp-login --email you@x.com

Already have an access token? Set PROMPTREADY_ACCESS_TOKEN in the environment (MCP host or shell). Environment variables take precedence over the saved credentials file.

MCP host config

Fastest: let your AI agent install it

If you are already in an MCP-capable agent, skip the JSON editing and just ask:

Install the PromptReady MCP server for me. The PyPI package is promptready-mcp (stdio command promptready-mcp). Add it to your MCP config, then I will run the login tool.

In Claude Code the agent can use the built-in CLI:

claude mcp add promptready -- promptready-mcp

Reconnect after changing config

Hosts do not pick up MCP config changes mid-session. After changing the config, restart the host or reconnect the server — in Claude Code, open the /mcp panel and reconnect.

Seeing tools in the /mcp panel does not mean the server is connected: the panel can list the tool catalog while the session has no live server, and picking a tool from that list will not run it. If tools are listed but calls fail, reconnect first.

Claude Code

claude mcp add promptready -- promptready-mcp

The default scope is local (this project only). Use --scope user to register it for all your projects, or --scope project to share the registration through a committed .mcp.json.

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json for a single project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "promptready": {
      "command": "promptready-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Grok

[mcp_servers.promptready]
command = "promptready-mcp"
enabled = true
tool_timeout_sec = 3600

Claude Desktop / generic JSON

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "promptready": {
      "command": "promptready-mcp"
    }
  }
}

No access token in config files required after login.

{ "mcpServers": { "promptready": {
  "command": "uvx", "args": ["promptready-mcp"] } } }

Tools

Downloaded names follow the web app: {name}_PaddleOCR-VL.md (engine label).

Credits are deducted by the server when a job is queued, exactly as on the web app. convert_pdf(wait=True) can run for a long time, so give the host a high tool timeout.

Security

• Tokens are never hardcoded in this repository.
• Do not commit ~/.config/promptready/* or .env.
• Only use the official package linked from https://promptready.space
