How to Use the Sensible MCP in Claude

Q: How do I set up Sensible with Claude Desktop?

Open your claudedesktopconfig.json file and add the server settings under the mcpServers key. Once you save and restart, the Sensible tools appear in your chat.

Q: Can Sensible help Claude Desktop extract data from low-quality scans?

Yes. You can use creategolden to build a reference document, which acts as a guide for the engine to improve accuracy on messy or non-standard scans.

Q: Does this Sensible and Claude Desktop integration work for large batches?

Absolutely. You can use extractfromurl to process documents asynchronously, which prevents timeouts and handles high volumes of files efficiently.

Q: What happens if a document type changes?

Just run updatedocumenttype to adjust your schema. The system adapts to the new layout so your extraction pipeline stays current.

Parse documents with Claude Desktop

Stop manually copying data from invoices or forms. Use `extract_sync` to feed a Base64 encoded document directly to your agent and get structured output back in seconds. This MCP Server handles the heavy lifting of document parsing so your agent can focus on processing the results. It bridges the gap between raw files on your disk and actionable data.

Manage extraction configurations

Keep your parsing logic consistent by using `create_configuration`. You define how a document type should be read, and the server keeps that definition ready for future runs. When you need to iterate, `update_configuration` lets you tweak your extraction rules without starting from scratch. It keeps your document pipeline predictable as your business needs change.

Generate formatted reports

Turn your extracted data into usable spreadsheets with `generate_csv` or `generate_excel`. This tool takes the JSON output from your extractions and maps it directly to a file you can open in any viewer. It removes the friction of manual data entry. You get clean, organized files ready for your team or further analysis without leaving the chat interface.
