Parse Mcp
by adelaidasofiacommunityv0.1.0
This MCP server parses files or URLs into markdown using a router that prefers markitdown and can fall back to Docling or LlamaParse. It also includes tools to write parsed output to a vault, interpret parsed text with Claude, list available backends, and benchmark backends against the same input.
From the registry: One MCP, many parsers. Routes between markitdown, Docling, and LlamaParse. Plus an interpret tool…
Install & configure
Prerequisites
- requiredInstall via Claude Code plugin marketplacePreferred installation method from the README. In Claude Code, add the marketplace plugin and install parse-mcp.
$ /plugin marketplace add adelaidasofia/parse-mcp /plugin install parse-mcp@parse-mcp
Install in your client
Paste into the AI you're chatting with — it will figure out the rest
Please install the `parse-mcp` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).
Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Install via Claude Code plugin marketplace** — Preferred installation method from the README. In Claude Code, add the marketplace plugin and install parse-mcp. Run: `/plugin marketplace add adelaidasofia/parse-mcp
/plugin install parse-mcp@parse-mcp`
Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `python3`
- args: ["/absolute/path/to/parse-mcp/server.py"]
- optional environment variables:
- `MYCELIUM_NO_PING`: Optional opt-out for the anonymous install telemetry ping sent on first load. (example: `1`)
- `LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY`: Required only if you want to use the optional LlamaParse backend. (example: `<your-llama-cloud-api-key>`)
Note: README states FastMCP stdio transport on Python 3.13+. Preferred install path is Claude Code plugin marketplace, but the README only provides a canonical command/args config shape in the legacy manual install section. Optional backend dependencies mentioned: `pip install docling` for Docling and `pip install llama-cloud-services` for LlamaParse.
Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.Note: README states FastMCP stdio transport on Python 3.13+.

parse_to_vault
Parses input and writes the result as a markdown note into the vault folder, with frontmatter metadata.
interpret
Parses input first, then sends the parsed markdown and an instruction to Claude for summarization or extraction.
list_backends
Lists which parsing backends are installed and which are missing.
benchmark
Runs every available backend on the same input and compares latency and output.
