If you have run it, two minutes of your experience saves the next person an afternoon.

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

pdf_outline
List the headings of a PDF with their level and page number, so you can decide which pages to read with pdf_to_markdown.
pdf_tables
Extract every table in a PDF as JSON rows: [{ page, rows: string[][] }]. The first row is the header.
pdf_to_markdown
Decompile a PDF into Markdown (headings, lists, tables, math as LaTeX) locally. Born-digital pages take milliseconds; scans and screenshots get on-device OCR only where needed. Nothing is uploaded. Use pdf_outline first on long documents to pick pages.
