Let your AI agent do the PDF work
Claude and other AI apps can call Orihako's tools and recipes. The tools run on your computer and never upload your files.
- Claude Desktop: One file sets everything up. No Node.js to install. Download orihako.mcpb
- Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code: Unzip the agent, open a terminal in its folder and run this once. It adds Orihako to every one of these apps it finds.
node orihako.mjs setup
What to ask
- Compress every PDF in my Downloads folder to under 3 MB and put the results in Downloads/small.
- Merge the contracts in Desktop/deal in order, number the pages and add a bookmark per file.
- Make a recipe that flattens, removes author info and compresses to 2 MB, check it, then run it on these three files.
- How many pages does report.pdf have, and is it a scan without text?
Asking for one tool on one file is free. Several steps, several files at once, conditions and name rules need an Orihako Pass Pro or Business key (a PDF Pro or Business key works too), activated once on the computer (it counts as one device). The 7-day pass works on the websites only, not with the agent.

Safety
- Files are read only from the paths the agent names, and processed on your computer; your files are never uploaded.
- Results are written only into the output folder, never over an existing file unless asked.
- Steps that cannot be undone (redaction, flattening, compression…) run only after the agent has checked with you.
- Your originals are never changed. Passwords are used for one run and never stored.
Questions and answers
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol: an open standard that lets AI apps call tools on your computer. Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and many others support it.
Does the AI see my files?
The agent works on the files locally and tells the AI only what happened: names, page counts, sizes and notes. The AI app may read files you attach to the chat itself; Orihako does not send them.
Does it need the internet?
Processing does not. Activating a key does, and so does a check now and then: an Orihako Pass is renewed at orihako.com about once a week and keeps working offline for up to 7 days.
Can I schedule it without an AI?
Yes. Run the command line from a scheduled task, for example: node orihako.mjs recipe run send.orihako in/*.pdf -o out --yes
