OCR PDF to Structured JSON Bridge

Extract the PDF text layer with geometry (lines by y-position, tables by column gaps, headings by font size, colon key-value pairs), then fill a user-supplied JSON Schema field by field — labels matched by normalized keys, values coerced to declared types and validated with ajv.

Quick start

Call this tool from your code in three languages.

cURL

# 2) PUT the file bytes directly to the presigned uploadUrl

After connecting to the SSE endpoint, list the exposed tools:

tools/list
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/list"
}

Invoke the tool by its id, passing arguments built from its parameters:

tools/call
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "ocr-pdf-to-structured-json-bridge",
    "arguments": {
  "pdfFile": "https://example.com/file.ext",
  "schemaInput": "{\n  \"type\": \"object\",\n  \"properties\": {\n    \"invoice_number\": { \"type\": \"string\" },\n    \"invoice_date\": { \"type\": \"string\", \"format\": \"date\" },\n    \"customer\": { \"type\": \"string\" },\n    \"currency\": { \"type\": \"string\", \"enum\": [\"USD\", \"EUR\"] },\n    \"total\": { \"type\": \"number\" }\n  },\n  \"required\": [\"invoice_number\", \"total\"]\n}",
