The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized framework designed to enable AI models to share, interpret, and utilize contextual information consistently across different systems and applications. Foxit PDF Editor Desktop (Windows and macOS) supports the integration with MCP servers and acts as a native MCP host, exposing secure endpoints that external applications and AI tools can access using the Model Context Protocol.
With MCP integration, the built-in AI Assistant lets you trigger actions like “Create a Jira issue” or “Send to Salesforce” directly from your PDF, no app-switching, fewer clicks, and more time saved. The following sections, based on the AI Assistant within Foxit PDF Editor for Windows, provide detailed instructions for using this feature.
