Document processing in Claude Code

Add Parseur's MCP server to Claude Code to create mailboxes, upload documents from your project and read the extracted data from your terminal.

Step 1

Connect the MCP server

  1. 1 Run the command in your terminal. --scope user makes Parseur available in all your projects.
  2. 2 Start Claude Code and run /mcp, then select parseur.
  3. 3 Sign in to Parseur in your browser and approve access.
Terminal
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user parseur https://api.parseur.com/mcp
Step 2

Get files to the agent

Ask Claude Code to process a file in your project. It creates an upload link, uploads the file to the right Parseur mailbox itself, then reads the extracted data.

  • Each upload link works for one upload, which can hold several files, and expires after 60 minutes by default.
  • Files at a public URL, and email text pasted into the chat, need no upload link.
  • Every Parseur mailbox has its own email address, so you can also forward documents to it.

Try these prompts

Paste one into the chat and let the agent pick the tools.

Upload the PDFs in ./invoices to my Parseur invoices mailbox and wait until they are processed.
Download my Parseur invoices mailbox as CSV and write a script that imports it into our database.
Show me why my last Parseur document failed, then reprocess it.

Check it works
