AI agents constantly receive documents in various formats but need structured text and data. Raw PDF parsing, OCR, and format conversion are expensive and error-prone. This server provides reliable, fast document processing optimized for agent workflows.
⚡ Key Features
- Advanced PDF Parsing: Extract text, tables, and metadata with layout preservation
- Intelligent OCR: Image-to-text with confidence scoring and preprocessing
- HTML to Markdown: Clean conversion preserving structure and links
- Universal Table Extraction: Extract structured data from any document format
- Document Summarization: Configurable summary generation with keyword extraction
- Agent-Optimized Output: Fast processing, structured JSON responses
- Multi-Format Support: PDF, images, HTML, text files

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
