How to Use the Parsio MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I check parsing status?

Use the getparseddocumentresult tool. It fetches the latest status and the extracted data for any job ID you provide.

Q: Does this support async processing?

It does. For larger files, you can trigger extractdatafromfileasync to avoid blocking your editor while the server processes the data.

Windsurf connects directly to your Parsio mailboxes to turn messy emails and PDFs into structured data without leaving your editor.

Automate data extraction in Windsurf

Cascade reads your document structures and triggers `extract_data_from_file_sync` to parse incoming files instantly. It maps fields from your raw PDFs into usable JSON without manual template creation. Your agent handles the heavy lifting by calling `list_mailbox_templates` to ensure it uses the right schema for every document type. You get clean data ready for your next coding task.

Retrieve parsed history with this MCP Server

Query your past parsing jobs using `list_parsed_data_history` to verify results directly inside your chat panel. Windsurf pulls the logs so you can confirm data integrity before moving to the next step. If you need specific details from a document, use `get_parsed_document_result` to pull the exact output. It keeps your workflow moving without switching tabs.

Manage mailboxes through Cascade

Create and configure new intake channels by running `create_mailbox` via the MCP interface. You define where the data comes from and Cascade handles the setup. Use `list_mailboxes` to see what is active in your account. You stay in control of your data sources while the server handles the backend API calls.

Common questions about Parsio MCP in Windsurf

Parsio acts as a bridge for your files. You tell Windsurf to parse a document, and it uses the `extract_data_from_file_sync` tool to send that file to Parsio and return the structured result.

Yes, it can. Just ask Cascade to list your mailboxes, and it will trigger the `list_mailboxes` tool to show you exactly what is configured in your Parsio account.

Parsio treats your extracted data as private. The MCP Server only touches the specific document content you ask it to parse, and it uses standard secure tokens to talk to the API.

Use the `get_parsed_document_result` tool. It fetches the latest status and the extracted data for any job ID you provide.

It does. For larger files, you can trigger `extract_data_from_file_async` to avoid blocking your editor while the server processes the data.
