pdf-spec-mcp

pdf-spec-mcp is a plugin for Claude Code from shuji-bonji/pdf-spec-mcp. Its manifest loads nothing; the 6 skills, 6 commands, 1 MCP server it bundles cost 489 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, MIT.

A plugin that provides searchable references to the ISO 32000 PDF specification, including clauses, requirements, definitions, and comparisons between versions. It requires PDF specification files supplied by the user.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search PDF specification clauses, extract MUST and SHOULD requirements, look up definitions, and compare specification versions.
Why use it?
It makes the specification easier to consult when you need exact PDF rules, while clearly separating reference lookup from compliance checking.

Security

Grade A, and why

pdf-spec-mcp scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
