# FixMyScan MCP server

> Turn scanned book PDFs and DjVu files into clean, searchable PDFs for Kindle and other e-readers.

- Listing: https://mcp.tc/i/fixmyscan
- Connect: use the server's own URL `https://mcp.fixmyscan.com/mcp` (OAuth sign-in at the server); clients connect to it directly. The listing link is a page, not an MCP endpoint.
- Type: remote (Streamable HTTP)
- Auth: OAuth sign-in
- Category: [Utilities](https://mcp.tc/c/utilities)
- Vendor: FixMyScan
- Homepage: <https://fixmyscan.com>
- Docs: <https://fixmyscan.com>

## About

FixMyScan cleans up scanned books. It crops margins, turns yellowed pages white, straightens tilted pages, splits two-page scans and adds a searchable text layer in 19 languages. The result is a PDF that opens on Kindle, Kobo, reMarkable, Boox, PocketBook and tablets.

It runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at mcp.fixmyscan.com. Users sign in with Google or email through OAuth. The site lists support for books up to several hundred pages, with unlimited books on a paid plan.

## What it can do

- Clean up scanned book PDFs and DjVu files
- Crop margins and straighten tilted pages
- Split open-book two-page scans into single pages
- Add a searchable OCR text layer in 19 languages
- Produce smaller PDFs suited to e-readers

## Example prompts

- "Fix my scanned PDF so it reads well on my Kindle"
- "Make this DjVu book searchable and white-paged"
- "Clean up this two-page scan and split it into single pages"
- "Convert my scanned book for my reMarkable"

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http fixmyscan https://mcp.fixmyscan.com/mcp
```

2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **fixmyscan** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the FixMyScan sign-in.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Customize → Connectors**, click **+ Add**, then **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **FixMyScan** and paste this URL:

```url
https://mcp.fixmyscan.com/mcp
```

3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when FixMyScan asks.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

### claude.ai

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=FixMyScan&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.fixmyscan.com%2Fmcp>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://mcp.fixmyscan.com/mcp` and click **Add**.

3. Click **Connect** and sign in when FixMyScan asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, go to **Plugins**, select **+**, then **Add custom MCP server**.

2. Enter a name for the server.

3. Under **Connection**, paste `https://mcp.fixmyscan.com/mcp` as the server URL, then for authentication choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to FixMyScan to sign in.

4. Check **I understand and want to continue**, then select **Create as a plugin**.

Whether you can add a custom MCP server depends on your ChatGPT plan and your workspace permissions (in Business workspaces, admins and owners can).

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=fixmyscan&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC5maXhteXNjYW4uY29tL21jcCJ9>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fixmyscan": {
      "url": "https://mcp.fixmyscan.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Cursor shows **Needs authentication** next to the server. Click the button beside it to sign in.

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=fixmyscan&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.fixmyscan.com%2Fmcp%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"fixmyscan","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.fixmyscan.com/mcp"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "fixmyscan": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.fixmyscan.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fixmyscan": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.fixmyscan.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add fixmyscan --url https://mcp.fixmyscan.com/mcp
codex mcp login fixmyscan
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.fixmyscan]
url = "https://mcp.fixmyscan.com/mcp"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http fixmyscan https://mcp.fixmyscan.com/mcp
```

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth fixmyscan` to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fixmyscan": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.fixmyscan.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.fixmyscan.com/mcp`.
