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.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Extracta tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your 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 Windsurf 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 Windsurf with the Extracta MCP Server
Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with Extracta through the Model Context Protocol.
Windsurf's Cascade agent autonomously chains multiple tool calls in sequence, solving complex multi-step tasks without manual intervention
Purpose-built for agentic workflows. Cascade understands context across your entire codebase and integrates MCP tools natively
JSON-based configuration means zero code changes: paste a URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available
Real-time tool feedback is displayed inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor without switching contexts
Extracta + Windsurf Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Windsurf combined with the Extracta MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from Extracta and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses
Live debugging: query Extracta tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor
Documentation generation: pull schema information from Extracta and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically
Rapid prototyping: combine Extracta data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes
