# Affinda MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Affinda MCP lets your AI agent handle heavy lifting for document processing. It pulls structured data from resumes, invoices, and IDs like passports or receipts. Instead of manual data entry, you can just ask your agent to parse a file URL and get the JSON back instantly. It handles the messy stuff so you don't have to. ## Overview - **Category:** productivity - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_yFIGwqYMwMGDzAPprZCYJ7ppMcFfsuopOw4ljSHA/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** document-parsing, data-extraction, resume-processing, invoice-processing, idp, structured-data ## Description Affinda lets you turn messy PDFs and images into structured data. You're likely dealing with a mountain of files that need to be turned into actual information. Maybe it's a stack of resumes from a new hiring cycle or a pile of invoices from a vendor that won't follow your formatting. Usually, this means manual typing or brittle scripts that break the moment a layout changes. Affinda changes that by letting your AI agent do the extraction for you. You can point your agent at a document URL, and it handles the parsing, turning a messy scan into a clean JSON object you can actually use. It's about moving from "looking at a file" to "having the data." When you use this Connector through the Vinkius catalog, your agent gains the ability to audit your entire workspace, check which document types your account supports, and track the status of every file in real-time. It's a way to bridge the gap between unstructured paperwork and a clean database without the headache of manual entry. Whether you're processing thousands of records or just a few complex ones, this connector ensures the data comes out clean and ready for your next step. You don't have to worry about weird formatting or missing fields. Your agent handles the heavy lifting of the data extraction while you focus on the high-level decisions. This makes it a go-to for anyone who needs to get data out of paper as fast as possible. ## Tools ### list_documents See every parsed document in your workspace along with its current processing status. This helps you keep track of large batches in one view. ### create_document Upload a PDF or image via a public URL to get a high-accuracy JSON extraction. It handles the parsing and waits for the result. ### get_document Grab the full JSON data and status for a specific document you've already processed. Use this to pull exact fields into your database. ### list_workspaces View all the different workspace containers in your Affinda account. This makes it easy to organize different projects or clients. ### list_document_types Check exactly which models like Resume, Invoice, or Passport your account supports. Use this to verify your available parsing options. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` List all documents in my 'Pending Invoices' workspace. ``` **Response:** ``` I've retrieved the documents from the 'Pending Invoices' workspace. Here is the current status: | Document ID | Status | Type | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | INV-9920 | Completed | Invoice | | INV-9921 | Processing | Invoice | | INV-9922 | Pending | Invoice | Would you like me to pull the JSON details for any of these? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Parse this resume: https://example.com/cv.pdf using the resume model. ``` **Response:** ``` I've started the parsing process for that resume. **Extraction Complete!** Here is the structured data for the candidate: - **Name:** John Doe - **Experience:** 5 years in Python Development - **Education:** B.S. in Computer Science - **Key Skills:** Django, AWS, SQL, Docker Would you like me to save this to your recruitment database? ``` **Prompt:** ``` What models can I use for document parsing? ``` **Response:** ``` I've checked your account settings.
