Our reading of CastPDF, from the data
CastPDF is an MCP server from castpdf, listed in the official MCP Registry.
We haven't measured its tool list yet, so its token cost is unknown.
It runs locally on your machine over stdio and needs one secret (CASTPDF_API_KEY); use a scoped, least-privilege key.
