About Extracta MCP Server
Connect your Extracta.ai account to any AI agent and take full control of your automated data extraction and document classification through natural conversation.
Cursor's Agent mode turns Extracta into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Extracta and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
What you can do
- Extraction Orchestration — Create and configure new data extraction processes by defining JSON schemas for fields like dates, amounts, and item descriptions natively
- Live Document Processing — Submit publicly accessible file URLs (PDF, JPG, PNG) to trigger asynchronous extraction workflows and retrieve structured JSON data seamlessly
- AI Classification — Set up document classification rules to automatically sort documents into types like invoices, receipts, or contracts based on AI predictions
- Result Auditing — Retrieve extraction status and finalized structured data for specific documents, evaluating confidence scores and predicted categories flawlessly
- Batch History Monitoring — Fetch paginated lists of previously extracted documents and their associated data payloads to track historical processing limitlessly
- Configuration Mutation — Update existing extraction settings and mapping rules without creating new endpoints to refine your data parsing logic
- Workflow Management — View and manage extraction and classification configurations, including configured fields and webhook settings securely
The Extracta MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cursor in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Cursor with the Extracta MCP Server
Cursor AI Code Editor provides unique advantages when paired with Extracta through the Model Context Protocol.
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools
Extracta + Cursor Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Cursor combined with the Extracta MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Code generation with live data: ask Cursor to generate a security report module using live DNS and subdomain data fetched through MCP
Automated documentation: have Cursor query your API's tool schemas and generate TypeScript interfaces or OpenAPI specs automatically
Infrastructure-as-code: Cursor can fetch domain configurations and generate corresponding Terraform or CloudFormation templates
Test scaffolding: ask Cursor to pull real API responses via MCP and generate unit test fixtures from actual data
