What is the Unstructured MCP Server?
Connect your Unstructured.io account to any AI agent to automate data ingestion and document processing pipelines seamlessly. Transform complex files into clean, AI-ready data without leaving your workflow.
What you can do
- Data Sources — List all configured remote data connectors (e.g. S3, GCS, SharePoint) to see where documents can be pulled from.
- Data Destinations — Browse target locations (like Vector DBs or SQL databases) where structured output is sent.
- Processing Workflows — List end-to-end pipelines, retrieve specific workflow configurations, and explore source-destination mappings.
- Job Execution — Manually trigger immediate document ingestion and partitioning jobs, and track their execution IDs.
- Job Monitoring — List active and historical workflow execution jobs to monitor the progress of your document processing tasks.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Unstructured API Key and API URL
- Start managing your data pipelines from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Your AI agent becomes a command center for your entire RAG and knowledge base ingestion pipelines.
Who is this for?
- Data Engineers — troubleshoot and trigger ingestion workflows without opening the Unstructured dashboard.
- AI Developers — monitor RAG pipelines and ensure vector databases are populated with clean data directly from code editors.
- MLOps Teams — track historical processing jobs and verify that scheduled syncs completed successfully.
- Product Teams — quickly audit available sources and destinations when planning new feature integrations.

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Unstructured data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 6 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI agent trigger an immediate document processing job?
Yes! If you have a workflow configured to pull files from an S3 bucket and load them into a Pinecone index, you can ask your agent to trigger workflow XYZ. It will start the execution and return the new Job ID, which you can use to track the progress.
How can I verify if my RAG pipelines are failing or succeeding?
Ask your agent to list your workflow jobs. It will securely connect to Unstructured's engine and return historical and active executions, displaying statuses such as 'completed', 'failed', or 'in_progress'. This is extremely useful for MLOps engineers diagnosing ingestion alerts directly in their terminal.
Can I edit the destination database directly through the agent?
This server is focused on auditing and executing your existing pipelines. Currently, you can list all connections (sources and destinations) and obtain their details, but creating or destructively modifying vector database connectors must be done inside the Unstructured dashboard for security.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
