AIDataParser MCP server

The official Model Context Protocol registry record for AIDataParser — a credit-based data-extraction API that turns PDFs, images and messy text into schema-guaranteed JSON.

There is no server code in this repo. The MCP server is hosted: it lives at https://aidataparser.com/v1/mcp and speaks JSON-RPC 2.0 over Streamable HTTP. This repo holds the server.json that is the source of our record in registry.modelcontextprotocol.io, the canonical upstream every downstream MCP catalog syncs from.

Add it to your client

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aidataparser": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://aidataparser.com/v1/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer adp_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

Get a key (50 free credits, no card):

Terminal

curl -X POST https://aidataparser.com/v1/keys \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"email":"you@example.com"}'

list_schemas and validate are free and need no key, so a client can add the server and get something useful back before signing up.

Publishing

.github/workflows/publish-mcp.yml publishes on a push to main using GitHub OIDC — no secrets. Bump version in server.json to cut a release; a push that does not change the version is a no-op.

Before it publishes, the workflow runs two gates:

npm test — static checks on server.json (validate-server-json.mjs). Each rule maps to a real failure from a sibling repo, e.g. the registry's 100-char description cap that 422'd aisotools-mcp-server v0.1.0.
npm run check:remote — a live initialize + tools/list handshake against the URL about to be advertised. A registry record pointing at a dead endpoint is worse than no record.

Both are runnable locally.
