View on GitHubGive your AI agent eyes for PDFs — structured text, tables, OCR, visual evidence, and page-level citations via MCP. Native Rust, local-first.
Citra is a local-first MCP server (npx -y @sylphx/citra) that gives AI agents structured PDF reading: text, tables, OCR, visual crops, and page-level citations via read_pdf, search_pdf, and pdf_evidence. Native Rust engine, no API key, fails closed without the platform binary.
Use Cases
