PDF evidence for agents

Wedge

Local-first native PDF intelligence with page/cell/bbox evidence — not a cloud OCR wrapper.

Local-first

Default path uses local native runtime; no cloud API key required for core read.

Peer anchors (learn; do not clone)

PeerGap we exploit
Cloud/API OCR MCPs (e.g. Mistral OCR MCP)Paid remote OCR; weak citeable structure/tables locally
Paperless-style archive MCPArchive/search system, not agent citeable PDF structure toolkit
Generic filesystem MCP + raw PDF textNo structure, tables, visual evidence, or page locators

Non-goals

  • Becoming a cloud SaaS wrapper as the default path
  • Multi-product monorepo for star aggregation
  • Generative summaries as the sole evidence authority
