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.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Parseur 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
- 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: parsedcorrectly - Payload Uploading — Instruct the node limits mapping
upload_documentgenerating raw payloads routing straight into the engine for OCR logic - Job Management — Discover disconnected states mitigating failed validations by pushing
retry_documentinstantly forcing physical pipeline resets
The Parseur 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 Parseur MCP Server
Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with Parseur 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
Parseur + Windsurf Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Windsurf combined with the Parseur MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from Parseur and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses
Live debugging: query Parseur tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor
Documentation generation: pull schema information from Parseur and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically
Rapid prototyping: combine Parseur data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes
Parseur MCP Tools for Windsurf (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Parseur to Windsurf 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 Windsurf
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Windsurf 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."
