CLAUDE_DESKTOP_SETUP.md was actively misleading — listed 8 tools (out of
47), referenced the old `mcp-pdf-tools` package name, and had hardcoded
user paths. README.md and QUICKSTART.md cover the same territory
correctly now, and nothing in the repo links to it.
LOCAL_DEVELOPMENT.md kept its structure (setup → wiring up → testing →
publishing → gotchas) but updated to reflect current reality:
- `claude mcp add` syntax now uses the required `--` separator
- Three patterns shown (local source, pinned PyPI version, latest PyPI
with --refresh) since they each serve different dev workflows
- markdown_to_pdf added to manual verification checklist
- Publishing pipeline now matches what we actually do (clean dist/,
PII audit per global rules, twine for upload since uv publish
doesn't read ~/.pypirc)
- Common gotchas section: mktexfmt errors, FunctionTool test failures,
PyPI JSON caching — all real things hit during this session
- Removed claim that the server has "23 PDF tools"
