Side-by-side comparison of two Model Context Protocol servers — install paths, tools, quality signals, and directory engagement so you can pick the right one for Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients.
Official MinerU document parsing MCP (mineru-open-mcp on PyPI). Converts PDFs, doc/docx/ppt/pptx, images, and spreadsheets to Markdown via the MinerU API; free Flash mode without an API key (about 20 pages per file); optional MINERUAPITOKEN for higher limits.
Official Firecrawl server to search the web and scrape, crawl, map, and extract structured data from any site for LLMs. Handles JS-rendered pages, PDFs, and batch jobs; hosted remote MCP with OAuth or self-host.
