v0.1.0 — local-first PDF MCP server + CLI

First release of quillpdf-mcp — local-first PDF tools as an MCP server and a CLI. Your files never leave your machine.

Operations (phase 1)

merge · split (by range or extract pages) · rotate · watermark · bates (Bates numbering) · clean-metadata · page-count

Highlights

• Local only — the engine reads/writes PDFs on your machine; the server uses stdio + local filesystem, never opens a network connection.
• MCP server (quillpdf-mcp) exposes one tool per operation for AI assistants (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, any MCP client).
• CLI (quillpdf) for the same operations from a terminal.
• clean-metadata scrubs the XMP stream, not just the info dictionary — the copy Acrobat/Word/InDesign/LibreOffice write.
• Password-protected PDFs are refused, never silently unlocked.
• 26 unit tests; CI green on Node 20. MIT licensed.

Roadmap (phase 2)

compress, pdf-to-image, redact, and ocr — they need a local image/OCR backend and will ship only when they can run fully locally.
