Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant list installed printers on a Windows PC and send PDF files to a printer with page ranges, copies, monochrome and duplex options.

What you can do
  • List installed printers and see which one is the default
  • Print a PDF file to a chosen printer, with page ranges, 1–20 copies, black-and-white and long-edge duplex options
  • Accept absolute paths or paths starting with ~, limited to .pdf files
When to use it
Useful when you keep PDFs on a Windows 10 or 11 machine and want to ask an assistant to send them to a local printer without opening a PDF viewer.
Requirements
Runs as a local stdio process on Windows 10 or 11 with Node.js 18 or newer, typically launched via npx. No accounts, API keys or environment variables are declared. The printer must support automatic two-sided printing for duplex.
Before you install
Printing consumes real paper and ink and cannot be undone; the client will normally ask before calling the print tool. Only .pdf files are accepted, and paths given to the tool are read from the local disk.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Windows Print in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

windows-print-mcp

An MCP server that lets Claude (or any MCP client) print PDF files on your Windows PC.

한국어 설명은 아래에 있습니다.

Ask things like "Print the PDF in my Downloads folder, pages 1-3, two copies, black and white" and it goes straight to your printer.

Tools

ToolWhat it does
list_printersLists installed printers and marks the default one
print_pdfPrints a PDF. Options: printer, copies (1–20), pages (e.g. 1-3,5), monochrome, duplex (long edge)

Requirements

  • Windows 10 or 11
  • Node.js 18 or newer

Install

Claude Desktop

Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config and add this to claude_desktop_config.json (if mcpServers already exists, add only the "print" entry inside it):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "print": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "windows-print-mcp"]    }  }}

Fully quit Claude Desktop (tray icon → Quit) and start it again.

Claude Code

bash
claude mcp add print -- npx -y windows-print-mcp

Other clients (Cursor, VS Code, …)

Use command npx with args -y windows-print-mcp over stdio.

How it works

Each page is rendered with the built-in Windows PDF engine (Windows.Data.Pdf, 300 DPI) and sent to the printer through .NET System.Drawing.Printing. No extra PDF viewer needs to be installed.

Notes

  • Only .pdf files can be printed. Paths can be absolute (C:\Users\me\Downloads\a.pdf) or start with ~.
  • Duplex only works if the printer supports automatic two-sided printing.
  • Printing uses real paper and ink — your MCP client will normally ask before calling print_pdf.

한국어

Claude가 내 Windows PC에 연결된 프린터로 PDF를 바로 인쇄할 수 있게 해 주는 MCP 커넥터입니다. "다운로드 폴더에 있는 PDF 1~3쪽만 흑백으로 2부 뽑아 줘"처럼 말하면 됩니다.

도구

  • list_printers : 설치된 프린터 목록과 기본 프린터
  • print_pdf : PDF 인쇄 (프린터, 매수, 쪽 범위, 흑백, 양면 선택)

설치 (Claude 데스크톱 앱)

  1. Node.js LTS 버전을 설치합니다.
  2. Claude 앱 설정 → 개발자 → 구성 편집을 눌러 claude_desktop_config.json을 엽니다.
  3. 아래 내용을 넣습니다. 이미 mcpServers가 있으면 "print" 항목만 그 안에 추가하세요.
json
{  "mcpServers": {    "print": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "windows-print-mcp"]    }  }}
  1. Claude 앱을 완전히 종료(트레이 아이콘 → 종료)했다가 다시 켭니다.

양면 인쇄는 자동 양면 기능이 있는 프린터에서만 됩니다.

Score

50% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

  • Reached in the last 30 days25 pts

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
