### Description (declared)

# localparse-mcp

An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that gives your coding agent
(Cursor, Claude Desktop, etc.) **accurate document parsing** *and*
**schema-driven JSON extraction** via [LocalParse](https://localparse.com) —
table-detection recovery + arithmetic identity checks on the parse side, and
a server-validated JSON Schema contract on the extract side — instead of
letting it write throwaway OCR scripts.

## Tools

### Parse

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| `parse_document(path, result_type)` | Parse a local file (PDF/image/PPTX/…). |
| `parse_url(url, result_type)` | Download a remote doc and parse it. |
| `parse_folder(path, case_id, resume)` | Ingest a whole folder into a named case; re-runs only parse changed files. |
| `get_structured(job_id)` | Fetch the structured ingestion contract for a job. |
| `case_manifest(case_id)` | List a case's ingested docs (path + hash + status). |
| `case_failures(case_id)` | List a case's failed docs for reingest. |

`result_type` ∈ `markdown` (default), `text`, `json`, `structured`.

### Extract *(Beta)*

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| `extract_document(path, data_schema, system_prompt?)` | Parse a file **and** extract structured JSON in one call. Most useful tool for agents. |
| `extract(markdown, data_schema, system_prompt?)` | Run the extract step on already-parsed markdown. |

The server validates the model's output against your `data_schema` before
returning, so the JSON you get back is guaranteed to match the shape you asked
for. Example natural-language prompts an agent can use:

> *"Use `extract_document` on `./invoices/q3.pdf` with this schema:
> `{type:'object', properties:{vendor:{type:'string'}, total:{type:'number'}}, required:['vendor','total']}`"*

## Configure your client

You need a LocalParse API key (`LOCALPARSE_API_KEY`).

### Cursor — `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (or project `.cursor/mcp.json`)
