Parzo ships a native MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Once installed, your AI agent can extract invoice data without writing a single line of integration code — just point it at a PDF and ask.

​
Installation

Install the MCP server globally via npm: 
npm install -g parzo-mcp

​
Configuration

​
Claude Code

Add Parzo to your Claude Code MCP config file: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "parzo": {
      "command": "parzo-mcp",
      "env": {
        "PARZO_API_KEY": "inv_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
Replace inv_your_key_here with your Parzo API key. Get one free →

​
Cursor

Add the following to your Cursor MCP settings: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "parzo": {
      "command": "parzo-mcp",
      "env": {
        "PARZO_API_KEY": "inv_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

​
Example workflow

Once Parzo is connected, you can use natural language to process invoices: 
I have 3 invoices in ~/Downloads/invoices/. 
Extract the data from each one and give me a summary 
of the total amount due and due dates.
The agent will automatically call extract_invoice for each file and synthesize the results.

​
Verify the connection

After adding the config, restart your client and run: 
List the available Parzo tools
You should see extract_invoice and get_job listed.

​
Troubleshooting

“Missing X-API-Key header” — Make sure your API key is set correctly in the env block of your config file. “File not found” — Use the absolute path to the PDF. On Windows with WSL, use /mnt/c/Users/... format. Server not showing up — Restart your MCP client after editing the config file.
The MCP server is open source and published on npm as parzo-mcp. Found a bug? Open an issue on GitHub.
