parserail-mcp

parserail-mcp

An MCP server for ParseRail, gives Claude, Cursor, and any Model Context Protocol client native tools to parse documents, extract fields, redact PII, analyze contracts, fight chargebacks, and enrich companies.

Setup

Get a key at parserail.thecompound.tech. Add the server to your MCP client config. ParseRail has no free tier. Buy credits up front through a $20 pack or a plan from $19/mo. ParseRail charges a call only when it succeeds.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add parserail -e PARSERAIL_API_KEY=ksk_live_… -- npx -y parserail-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor (mcpServers config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "parserail": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "parserail-mcp"],
      "env": { "PARSERAIL_API_KEY": "ksk_live_…" }
    }
  }
}

Tools

Tool	What it does
parserail_parse	Document (invoice/EOB/COI, PDF/image/text) → structured JSON
parserail_extract	Pull named fields out of any text
parserail_classify	Label text against your taxonomy
parserail_summarize	Summary + key points + action items
parserail_redact	Strip PII/PHI from text
parserail_sentiment	Sentiment, aspects, and themes
parserail_contract	Contract → parties, terms, obligations, risk flags
parserail_chargeback	Dispute details → representment packet
parserail_enrich	Domain or email → company profile
parserail_account	Credit balance
parserail_dry_run	Check a call's key, body and balance, and see its cost, without running it

Documents can be passed as fileUrl, raw text, or fileBase64 + fileMimeType.

Dry run

A new key has a zero balance. parserail_dry_run checks a call before you buy credits. It takes an endpoint and a body. It returns wouldCharge, balance and liveStatus, the status a live call would get. It runs no model and costs nothing.

Set PARSERAIL_DRY_RUN=1 in the server's env to make every tool a dry run. Each call then sends ParseRail-Dry-Run: 1.

Pricing

You pay with pay-per-call credits. You do not need a subscription. ParseRail charges you only when a call succeeds. See parserail.thecompound.tech/docs.
