Configure MCP server with PDF to Text API with OCR — Extract Text from Scanned PDFs

The configuration above connects to the hosted Apify MCP server with the PDF to Text API with OCR — Extract Text from Scanned PDFs Actor already loaded. It uses OAuth, so your client opens a browser window to sign you in to Apify on first use. No API token is needed. Clients without OAuth support can authenticate with an Authorization: Bearer header carrying an API token from API & Integrations in Apify Console.

Get a ready-to-use configuration for your MCP client with the PDF to Text API with OCR — Extract Text from Scanned PDFs Actor preconfigured at https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,eliai/pdf-text-extractor.

You can connect to the Apify MCP Server using clients like Tester MCP Client, or any other MCP client of your choice.
