Does this tool parse the document directly or use the cloud engine?

The tool offloads the logic specifically via endpoints mapping back to the Parseur Cloud Engine. The AI acts to organize mailboxes, list templates, and fetch final states securely without computing massive local OCR networks.

Can I upload a raw file string to be parsed?

Yes. Utilizing the explicitly mapped `upload_document` constraint, the agent can inject raw string boundaries identifying formatting, passing files straightforward into the target mailbox ID natively.

Will I see missing required fields if extraction fails?

Absolutely. Querying `get_document_details` lists specific status bounds. If a template expects InvoiceTotal and misses it, the document flags a processing boundary issue precisely traceable here.

About Parseur MCP Server

Bring Parseur Document Extraction arrays directly into your AI workflows. By explicitly mapping into powerful OCR and templating engines, your agent can push unstructured PDFs or bulk emails into remote routing limits, parsing exact text fields securely. Extract fields, examine documents, list defined parse-templates, and retry pipelines without manual intervention.

Cursor's Agent mode turns Parseur into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Parseur 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

Mailboxes & Templates — Examine specifically bound mailboxes tracking which explicit templates dictate data extraction limits mapped natively
Document Navigation — Extract properties showing precisely which unstructured strings were identified inside uploaded payloads checking status: parsed correctly
Payload Uploading — Instruct the node limits mapping upload_document generating raw payloads routing straight into the engine for OCR logic
Job Management — Discover disconnected states mitigating failed validations by pushing retry_document instantly forcing physical pipeline resets

The Parseur 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 Parseur MCP Server

Cursor AI Code Editor provides unique advantages when paired with Parseur 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

Parseur + Cursor Use Cases

Practical scenarios where Cursor combined with the Parseur 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

Parseur MCP Tools for Cursor (10)

These 10 tools become available when you connect Parseur to Cursor via MCP:

create_mailbox

The type determines the parsing engine (e.g., "pdf", "email", "attachment"). Once created, you can configure templates and forward documents to the mailbox for automatic extraction. Create a new Parseur mailbox for document parsing

create_template

Pass the template name and a JSON config string defining field mappings. Parseur will use this template to extract structured data from matching documents. Create a new extraction template for a Parseur mailbox

get_document_data

Fields depend on the template configuration (e.g., invoice_number, total_amount, line_items). Only works for documents with status "processed". Retrieve the fully extracted JSON data from a parsed document

get_document_details

Does not include the parsed data itself — use get_document_data for that. Get metadata of a single parsed document

get_mailbox

Use this to verify mailbox setup before sending documents. Get detailed configuration of a specific Parseur mailbox

list_documents

Each entry includes document ID, status (processed, failed, pending), and metadata like sender and received date. List all parsed documents inside a Parseur mailbox

list_mailboxes

Each mailbox represents a parsing pipeline for a specific document type (invoices, receipts, emails). Use the returned mailbox IDs for subsequent operations like listing documents or uploading files. List all Parseur parsing mailboxes

list_templates

Templates define the extraction rules (field names, locations, regex patterns) used to pull structured data from incoming documents. List available extraction templates for a Parseur mailbox

retry_document

Useful after fixing template rules or when the original parse failed due to a transient error. The document will be matched against the latest template rules. Retry parsing a failed or errored Parseur document

upload_document

eml) to the specified mailbox for automatic parsing. The document enters the processing queue and will be parsed according to the mailbox template. Returns the new document ID for tracking. Upload a document URL to a Parseur mailbox for parsing

Example Prompts for Parseur in Cursor

Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Cursor agent to start working with Parseur immediately.

"Check my Parseur mailboxes to find the specific bounding IDs."

"Get the data schema parsed tightly inside document doc_987."

"Upload this snippet of parsed text directly into Mailbox xyz12 for OCR processing."

Parseur + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Parseur MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
