    How MCP works

What is PDF Q&A?

You have a PDF and a specific question (terms, dates, definitions). PDF Q&A uploads one file (max 10 MB) and uses your Gemini API key so answers should quote the file and note page numbers when they are visible.

Who it is for: anyone who needs a cited read of a PDF they own or may upload. What it is not: legal advice, OCR for every scan, File Analyzer’s REST/MCP route, or Google Drive.

What are common questions about PDF Q&A?

Who is PDF Q&A for?

People with a PDF and a concrete question who want quotes from the file — students, ops, and reviewers.

What problem does it solve?

Question-shaped answers with quotes instead of a generic full-file summary.

How do you use PDF Q&A?

Upload a PDF (10 MB), type a question, paste a Gemini key, complete the bot check, run. Check quotes in the PDF.

Do I need a Gemini API key?

Yes. Paste a Gemini API key from Google AI Studio. The key is sent only with that run and is not stored.

Is this the File Analyzer API?

No. File Analyzer remains the API-backed Gemini file route. PDF Q&A is a browser job with citation instructions.

Are answers legally reliable?

No. Quotes can be wrong or incomplete. Read the PDF yourself before you act.

Do scanned PDFs work?

Image-only scans often return little text. Use a text PDF or OCR first when you can.

What are the key features of PDF Q&A?

Question + PDF

One file, one question per run.

Quote-first prompt

Instructs the model to cite the file, not invent clauses.

PDF-only picker

Avoids mixed-type confusion with Word or images.

10 MB cap

Split large books before upload.

How do you use PDF Q&A?

Export a text PDF

Selectable text works better than photos of pages.

Upload (10 MB max)

PDF only.

Write a precise question

e.g. payment terms, termination, effective date.

Add Gemini key and run

Bot check required.

Open the PDF

Confirm every quote and page hint.

Who is the target audience?

Ops and legal-adjacent review (not a substitute for counsel), students with papers, PMs reading vendor PDFs, and anyone who wants Q&A with quotes rather than a whole-document dump.

For mixed images and DOCX, use File Analyzer (that tool is API-backed).

What problems does it solve?

  • Finding a clause without reading 40 pages linearly
  • Extracting dates and named parties with a quote to check
  • Homework-style questions on a paper you uploaded

It does not certify contracts, e-sign, or redline.

Practical use cases

  • “What is the notice period?” on a vendor PDF
  • “List defined terms” on a policy PDF
  • “What does section 3 claim?” on a research PDF

Keep the file; the model output is a pointer, not the record.

Limits and honesty

Max 10 MB. Scans and encrypted PDFs fail or go thin. Browser-only — not REST, MCP, or SDK. Not Google Drive.
