MinerU MCP server

This is a helper that lets your AI read documents it normally cannot open, like scanned PDFs, photos of pages, Word files and slide decks. You give it a link or a file, and it sends the document to MinerU, an online service that pulls the text out. It is handy if you deal with reports, papers or contracts and want your AI to read them for you.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI to read a document, and you give it a web link or a file on your computer. Your AI passes that to this helper, which sends the document to MinerU for processing. MinerU reads the pages, including text inside images, in over 100 languages. When it is done, the helper brings back the text, usually as Markdown, which your AI can then summarize, translate or answer questions about. For very long documents, it can split the file into parts and stitch the results back together.

What you can do with it

• Read a PDF from a web link and turn it into text
• Read a scanned page or photo and pull out the words
• Read Word documents and PowerPoint slides
• Process many documents at once, up to 200
• Extract only certain pages, like pages 1 to 10
• Handle very long documents by splitting and rejoining them
• Save the extracted text and images to a folder on your computer

What it gives back to you

You get back the text of the document, usually as Markdown, which is a simple way of writing that keeps headings and lists. Your AI can then show you a summary, answer your questions, or save the text to a file. For batches, you get results for each document, and you can download the full set as files. If something is missing or unclear, it tells you instead of guessing.
