Mcp MCP Server

@parserelay/mcp

ParseRelay's scan operation as an MCP tool — so any MCP host (Claude Desktop, Cursor, …) can parse a document into structured, confidence-scored fields. Same contract as the REST API and the <DeadSimpleMicroScanner> component; one tool, scan.

The scan tool

Input mirrors the sync ScanRequest — image (required), plus schema, doc_type, engine, ocr, dry_run, model, model_key. (relay webhooks are omitted: a tool call is synchronous, so you get the envelope back inline.) The result is the full ScanEnvelope as JSON: fields, per-field confidence, needs_review, field_source, and meta (engine, credits, tokens).

Set dry_run: true to preview which fields would trigger a paid rescue — and the estimated credits — without spending anything.

Run it

Stateless: a fresh server per request, so it scales horizontally. Auth per request via Authorization: Bearer <key>, falling back to PARSERELAY_API_KEY for single-tenant setups.

Programmatic

import { createMcpServer } from "@parserelay/mcp";
import { ParseRelayClient } from "@parserelay/client";

const server = createMcpServer(new ParseRelayClient({ apiKey }));
// then wire your own transport: await server.connect(transport)
