Common questions

Is Parserbee MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: PARSERBEE_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 23 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

ParserBee MCP server

A Model Context Protocol server for ParserBee. It lets an AI assistant extract structured data from invoices, receipts, purchase orders, bank statements and other documents, using your Parser Templates.

Ask your assistant things like:

"Extract the invoice in ~/Downloads/inv-2041.pdf with my Invoice template."
"Read every receipt in this folder and give me a table of merchant, date and total."
"How many ParserBee page credits do I have left?"

Tools

Tool	What it does
`extract_document`	Extract data from a local file (`file_path`) or a public link (`file_url`) with a Parser Template. 1 page credit per page.
`list_templates`	List the Parser Templates in your account, with their fields
`get_template`	One Parser Template with all of its fields
`get_credits`	Page credit balance, plan and subscription status
`list_recent_extractions`	The last 10 extraction requests
`get_extraction`	One extraction request, with its extracted data

Before you start

Create a free account at app.parserbee.com. New accounts get 25 free pages, no credit card.
Create a Parser Template: upload one sample document and the AI builds the fields for you, or pick a ready-made one from the template library.
Copy your API key from Settings in the dashboard. It starts with pk_.

You need Node.js 18 or later.

Set up

Claude Desktop

Open Settings > Developer > Edit Config and add:

"mcpServers": { "parserbee": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "parserbee-mcp"], "env": { "PARSERBEE_API_KEY": "pk_your_api_key" } } } }

Restart Claude Desktop.

Claude Code

claude mcp add parserbee --scope user -e PARSERBEE_API_KEY=pk_your_api_key -- npx -y parserbee-mcp

--scope user makes ParserBee available in every folder. Without it, Claude Code adds the server only to the folder you run the command in. Start a new Claude Code session afterwards, then check it with claude mcp list.

Cursor

Add the same mcpServers block to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project).

VS Code

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

"servers": { "parserbee": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "parserbee-mcp"], "env": { "PARSERBEE_API_KEY": "pk_your_api_key" } } } }

From a local copy

git clone https://github.com/ParserBee/parserbee-mcp.git

cd parserbee-mcp npm install PARSERBEE_API_KEY=pk_your_api_key node dist/index.js

Point your client at node /path/to/parserbee-mcp/dist/index.js.

Settings

Environment variable	Required	Use
`PARSERBEE_API_KEY`	Yes	Your API key from Settings
`PARSERBEE_BASE_URL`	No	Defaults to `https://app.parserbee.com`

What comes back

extract_document returns the API response. The extracted fields are in data, shaped like your Parser Template:

"success": true, "request_id": "req_abc123", "data": { "invoice_number": "INV-2026-001", "vendor_name": "Acme Corp", "total_amount": 1500 }, "credits_remaining": 449, "usage": { "pages_processed": 1, "credits_charged": 1 } }

Files can be PDF, PNG, JPG, WebP or HEIC, up to 50 MB. Scans and phone photos work. API errors (an invalid key, no page credits left, an unknown template) come back as tool errors with the ParserBee error code, so the assistant can tell you what to fix.

Try it

The sample-invoices repository has 18 free test invoices with the correct value of every field, so you can check the results.

parserbee-python and parserbee-node: client libraries
parserbee-n8n: n8n workflows
parserbee-postman: Postman collection and OpenAPI file
Free browser tools: invoice parser, bank statement converter, receipt scanner
