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.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Extracta data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
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 VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
