ClicheFactory Document Intelligence

clichefactory/clichefactory-mcp

Connects ClicheFactory's document extraction API to Claude and other MCP clients through three tools: extract, to_markdown, and doctor. You give it a file (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, images, EML) and a JSON schema, it returns structured data. Runs in two modes: local uses your own LLM key with OCR on your machine, service mode hits the ClicheFactory API and supports trained pipelines and robust verification. The to_markdown tool is handy for previewing documents before deciding what to extract. Reach for this when you need to pull invoice line items, form fields, or tabular data from documents without writing parsers.

Readme

clichefactory-mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for ClicheFactory — structured data extraction from documents.

This server exposes ClicheFactory's extraction and document conversion capabilities as MCP tools, allowing AI assistants in Cursor, Claude Desktop, OpenClaw, and other MCP-compatible clients to extract structured data from PDFs, images, DOCX, XLSX, CSV, EML, and more.

Quick start (recommended — service mode)

Service mode uses the ClicheFactory cloud for the best extraction quality. You only need one API key.

Sign up at clichefactory.com — free pages included, no credit card required.
Create an API key in Settings → API Keys (format: cliche-...).
Install the MCP server:
```
pip install clichefactory-mcp
```
Configure — either paste the key into your MCP client (see below) or run once in a terminal:
```
pip install clichefactory   # if you don't have the CLI yet
clichefactory configure
```
