From the repository
Install the server globally via npm (npm install -g parzo-mcp), then configure it in your MCP client (Claude Code or Cursor) by adding a parzo entry with the command parzo-mcp and your Parzo API key in the env block. Once connected, you can use natural language prompts such as "Extract the invoice data from /path/to/invoice.pdf" to invoke the tools.

MCP Server
Use Parzo directly inside Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible AI client.
---
Parzo ships a native MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Once installed, your AI agent can extract invoice data without writing a single line of integration code — just point it at a PDF and ask.
Installation
Install the MCP server globally via npm:
``
bash
npm install -g parzo-mcp
`

Claude Code
Add Parzo to your Claude Code MCP config file:
<CodeGroup>

Example workflow
Once Parzo is connected, you can use natural language to process invoices:
I have 3 invoices in ~/Downloads/invoices/.
Extract the data from each one and give me a summary
of the total amount due and due dates.
The agent will automatically call for each file and synthesize the results.
Verify the connection
After adding the config, restart your client and run:
`
List the available Parzo tools
You should see and get_job listed.
Troubleshooting
"Missing X-API-Key header" — Make sure your API key is set correctly in the env block of your config file.
"File not found" — Use the absolute path to the PDF. On Windows with WSL, use /mnt/c/Users/... format.
Server not showing up — Restart your MCP client after editing the config file.
