PDF Viewer with AI

Opens a PDF from a local path or an allowed academic source in an interactive viewer, and tells you plainly when a source is refused or unreachable. It asks you to confirm which document before it opens anything.

Use it when

You want to open a paper or thesis you have on your computer
You want to view an arXiv or bioRxiv preprint inside the chat
A PDF link will not load and you want to know why

Tools it uses

display_pdf

Example

Show me the arXiv paper at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.00001.pdf and tell me what is on page 1.

I've opened the paper in the viewer. It is an arXiv preprint, and the viewer shows page 1 with the title and abstract. Tell me which section you want and I'll answer from the page you're looking at.

How PDF Viewer skills work

Connect PDF Viewer
The PDF Viewer MCP server gives the agent its tools.
Ask in plain words
“Show me the arXiv paper at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.00001.pdf and tell me what is on page 1.” Each SKILL.md says when it applies, so only the one that fits is loaded.
Approve any change
The agent calls the tools in order, checks its work, and shows you any change before it makes it.

How to install PDF Viewer skills

In RevampKey the skills install themselves when you connect PDF Viewer. In other tools each skill is one folder with a SKILL.md file, and you also need the PDF Viewer MCP server connected there.

PDF Viewer skills FAQ

What is a PDF Viewer agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each PDF Viewer skill describes one job, which PDF Viewer tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

Do the PDF Viewer skills change anything on their own?

1 of the 1 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in PDF Viewer.

Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect PDF Viewer; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

Do I need the PDF Viewer MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the PDF Viewer MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The PDF Viewer MCP setup guide covers every client.
