Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Upstage MCP ServerCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Before using this server, ensure you have the following:
1. Upstage API Key: Obtain your API key from Upstage API.
2. Python 3.10+: The server requires Python version 3.10 or higher.
3. The MCP server relies upon Astral UV to run, please install

For integration with Claude Desktop, add the following content to your claude_desktop_config.json:
- Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
- macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Follow these steps to set up and run the project locally:
pip install uv
uv venv
uv pip install -e .
1. Download Claude Desktop:
Download Claude Desktop
2. Open and Edit Configuration:
- Navigate to Claude → Settings → Developer → Edit Config.
- Edit the claude_desktop_config.json file with the following configurations:
For Windows:
{
"mcpServers": {
"upstage-mcp-server": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"run",
"--directory",
"C:\\path\\to\\cloned\\upstage-mcp-server",
"python",
"-m",
"upstage_mcp.server"
],
"env": {
"UPSTAGE_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Replace
C:\\path\\to\\cloned\\upstage-mcp-server with your actual repository path.
For macOS/Linux:
{
"mcpServers": {
"upstage-mcp-server": {
"command": "/Users/username/.local/bin/uv",
"args": [
"run",
"--directory",
"/path/to/cloned/upstage-mcp-server",
"python",
"-m",
"upstage_mcp.server"
],
"env": {
"UPSTAGE_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Replace:
-
/Users/username/.local/bin/uv with the output of which uv.-
/path/to/cloned/upstage-mcp-server with the absolute path to your local clone.
> Tip for macOS/Linux users: If connection issues occur, using the full path to your uv executable can improve reliability.
After configuring, restart Claude Desktop.
The server exposes two primary tools for AI models:
1. Document Parsing (parse_document):
- Description: Processes documents and extracts content while preserving structure.
- Parameter:
file_path – the path to the document to be processed.
- Example Query:
"Can you parse the document at C:\Users\username\Documents\contract.pdf and provide a summary?"
2. Information Extraction (extract_information):
- Description: Extracts structured information from documents based on predefined or auto-generated schemas.
- Parameters:
file_path – the document file path;
schema_path (optional) – a JSON file with an extraction schema;
auto_generate_schema (default true) – whether to auto-generate a schema.
- Example Query:
"Extract the invoice number, date, and total from C:\Users\username\Documents\invoice.pdf."

Prerequisites
Before using this server, ensure you have the following:
1. Upstage API Key: Obtain your API key from Upstage API.
2. Python 3.10+: The server requires Python version 3.10 or higher.
3. The MCP server relies upon Astral UV to run, please install
Installation & Configuration
This guide provides step-by-step instructions to set up and configure the upstage-mcp-server
Using uv (Recommended)
No additional installation is required when using uvx as it handles execution. However, if you prefer to install the package directly:
uv pip install upstage-mcp-server
Configure Claude Desktop
For integration with Claude Desktop, add the following content to yourclaude_desktop_config.json:
Configuration Location
- Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
- macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Using uvx Command (Recommended)
{
"mcpServers": {
"upstage-mcp-server": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["upstage-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"UPSTAGE_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>"
}
}
}
}
If uvx is not available globally, you may encounter a Server disconnected error. To resolve this, run which uvx to find its full path, and replace "command": "uvx" above with the returned path.
After adding the configuration, restart Claude Desktop to apply the changes.
