PDF to Text Skill

What this skill does

PDF to Text extracts the text layer of a PDF, uploaded or fetched from a URL, and returns it as plain text with the page, word and character counts. Paid plans add the text of each page separately and the document metadata, such as title, author and creation date. You switch it on with a single toggle — no SDK and no endpoint wiring — and it answers over MCP or REST using the same key as every other skill.

Ways to use it

One toggle, a new capability

Enable PDF to Text and your app or agent can convert PDF to Text on demand — no SDK, no endpoint wiring. It answers over MCP or REST using the same key as every other skill.

A tool agents call themselves

Over MCP, PDF to Text appears to your model as the pdftotext tool it invokes whenever a task needs it — you don't write the glue, the agent reaches for it.

REST from any backend

Prefer to call it directly? Any language that can send a GET can hit PDF to Text to convert PDF to Text inline in your own server-side code.

Use it in your app

Once enabled, this skill is reachable two ways — pick whichever fits how you build. Both use the same key.

For AI agentsMCP

It appears to your model as a callable tool. No extra code — the agent invokes it when a task needs it.

For apps & backendsREST

Call it from your server with one request and your key. Node, Python, Go — anything that can send a GET.

How to connect it over MCP or REST.

How do I add PDF to Text to my app or agent?

Enable the PDF to Text Skill on VerveKit, then reach it two ways with the same key: over MCP (it appears to your agent as the pdftotext tool) or over REST (call it from any backend). No SDK to install and no endpoint to wire.

MCP or REST — which should I use?

Both work off one key. Use MCP when an AI agent should decide when to convert PDF to Text — the skill shows up as a callable tool. Use REST when your own server-side code should call it directly. Many apps use both.

Which agents and frameworks does it work with?

Any MCP client — Claude, Cursor, LangChain, and custom agents all speak the Model Context Protocol, so PDF to Text appears as a standard tool with nothing skill-specific to integrate.

How many credits does a PDF to Text call cost?

Each call costs 10 credits. Every skill rides the same key and the same connection, so enabling more skills doesn't add more integrations to manage.

Do I need to install anything?

No SDK and no endpoint wiring — enabling the skill is a toggle. You point your agent at the VerveKit MCP endpoint (or call REST) and PDF to Text is available immediately.

Where does the data come from, and what shows on my bill?

VerveKit runs on APIVerve, our production data engine; PDF to Text is one of 300+ skills on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.
