Rust-powered PDF engine lets AI agents edit files locally
What is PaperPilot – Zero-Cloud, Pure-Rust PDF Engine with WASM and MCP?
PaperPilot is a pure-Rust PDF toolkit that runs everywhere, from a command-line tool to a browser-based WebAssembly version, without ever sending your documents to the cloud. It can merge, split, OCR, compress, rotate and more, and can be called from AI assistants via the MCP protocol or from any local program through a REST API.
Who it is for
Developers building AI assistants or automation pipelines will appreciate a fast, zero-cloud way to manipulate PDFs on the user's machine.
How to try it
Visit https://usepaperpilot.com to try the WASM demo, or run `cargo install paperpilot-cli` for the CLI
