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)
| Peer | Gap we exploit |
|---|---|
| Cloud/API OCR MCPs (e.g. Mistral OCR MCP) | Paid remote OCR; weak citeable structure/tables locally |
| Paperless-style archive MCP | Archive/search system, not agent citeable PDF structure toolkit |
| Generic filesystem MCP + raw PDF text | No 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
