What it does
AskPdf builds a searchable index of uploaded PDF documents and answers natural‑language questions. Each answer includes citations that reference the exact page numbers where the information appears.
Inputs and limits
- Up to 10 PDF files per session.
- Total upload size limited to 100 MB.
- Files must contain searchable text; scanned PDFs need OCR first.
Web app
The page /ai-prod/ask-pdf lets users upload PDFs (up to ten, 100 MB total) and type a question. The interface explains the process, displays the answer with page‑number citations, and notes that uploaded files are kept for about one day and then deleted.
MCP
The hosted MCP tool ChatWithDocument accepts a question and a public PDF URL, creates a RAG index of the document, and returns a PDF containing the answer with page citations.
Client configuration (the key comes from your Documentize account):
{
"mcpServers": {
"documentize": {
"url": "https://api.documentize.app/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer dmk_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}
}
Tool call (tools/call). The tool returns a task id; poll get_task_status until it reports 200, then download the file from uploadFileName:
{
"name": "chat_with_document",
"arguments": {
"query": "What is the dummy PDF?",
"fileUrl": "https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tests/xhtml/testfiles/resources/pdf/dummy.pdf"
}
}
