Prerequisites:
You’ll need:

• Unstructured API key. Learn how to obtain one here
• Claude Desktop installed locally

Quick TLDR on how to add this MCP to your Claude Desktop:

1. Clone the repo and set up the UV environment.
2. Create a .env file in the root directory and add the following env variable: UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY.
3. Run the MCP server: uv run doc_processor.py
4. Go to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ and create a claude_desktop_config.json. In that file add:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "unstructured_doc_processor": {
            "command": "PATH/TO/YOUR/UV",
            "args": [
                "--directory",
                "ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/YOUR/unstructured-mcp/",
                "run",
                "doc_processor.py"
            ],
            "disabled": false
        }
    }
}

5. Restart Claude Desktop. You should now be able to use the MCP.
