Pulse document-extraction API as MCP tools — hosted gateway and local stdio server

pulse-mcp

Pulse's document-extraction API as an MCP server — turn PDFs, Office documents, images, and spreadsheets into clean markdown, structured JSON, and tables from Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client.

Quickstart

You need a Pulse API key (from the Pulse dashboard). Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, …):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pulse": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["pulse-mcp@latest"],
      "env": { "PULSE_API_KEY": "<your-pulse-api-key>" }
    }
  }
}

Instead of the env var, the key can live in ~/.pulse/config.toml:

api_key = "<your-pulse-api-key>"

Tools

Tool	What it does
extract	Document → markdown (chunking, HTML, figure descriptions optional)
apply_schema	Structured JSON from an extraction, against your JSON schema
generate_schema	AI-draft or refine an extraction schema from a prompt
extract_tables	Pull tables (HTML/markdown) out of an extraction
split_document	Partition a document into topic page-ranges
batch_extract	Many documents in one asynchronous batch
run_pipeline	Run a pipeline saved in the Pulse dashboard
get_job	Poll any asynchronous job

extract takes a file_url — or, because this server runs on your machine, a local file_path: the server process reads the file and uploads it out-of-band, so file bytes never pass through the model. Up to 50 MB; pdf, png, jpg, jpeg, bmp, tiff, docx, pptx, xlsx, xlsm, csv, txt, html.

Hosted alternative

Don't want a local process? The same tools are served hosted at https://mcp.runpulse.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP) — authenticate with your API key as an x-api-key header.
