"parseur": {
"url": "https://api.parseur.com/mcp"
}
}
}Step 2
Get files to the agent
Ask the Cursor agent 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 show me what Parseur extracted.
Create a Parseur mailbox for purchase orders that extracts the PO number, supplier, date and line items.
