What is Unstructured API MCP Server?
The Unstructured API MCP Server is a tool that provides easy access to powerful functionalities for extracting information from research papers using the Unstructured API. It acts as a custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enabling interaction with the Unstructured API to process research paper PDFs and convert them into structured JSON data.
How to use Unstructured API MCP Server?
To use the server, you need to set up the required environment variables (UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY, GOOGLEDRIVE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY, MONGO_DB_CONNECTION_STRING). You can then interact with the server through a client (e.g., Claude Desktop) to list, create, edit, delete, and run workflows that process documents from sources like Google Drive and store the results in destinations like MongoDB. Follow the setup instructions and project flow described in the README.
