Mineru MCP Overview

The linxule/mineru-mcp MCP server connects MCP clients to the MinerU document parsing API. It accepts document URLs or local files, supports PDF, DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX, PNG, JPG, and JPEG inputs, and can extract text, tables, and formulas. Use it when an agent needs structured document parsing, OCR across 109 languages, selective page extraction, or batch processing of up to 200 files. Processing is asynchronous: submit a task or batch, poll its status, then retrieve or download the results.
