How do I use docflow-mcp?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@docflow-mcp Extract fields, tables, and stamps from Q4_Report.pdf" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Docflow MCP Server

MCP Server for Docflow — TextIn's document automation platform. Enables LLM agents to classify documents, extract fields/tables/stamps, and run rule-based compliance review through 41 MCP tools.

Features

Document classification — auto-classify PDFs, images, Word, and Excel files into user-defined categories
Field extraction — extract structured fields, table rows, handwriting, and stamps using LLM/VLM models
Compliance review — run AI-powered rule evaluation with risk levels and detailed reasoning
Two-layer tool design:
- 6 workflow tools — high-level composite operations for common pipelines (upload → extract → review)
- 35 resource tools — one tool per API endpoint for fine-grained configuration and edge cases

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/intsig-textin/docflow-mcp.git

Or install in editable mode for development:

git clone https://github.com/intsig-textin/docflow-mcp.git
cd docflow-mcp
pip install -e .

Configuration

Set environment variables before starting the server:

export DOCFLOW_APP_ID=your_app_id
export DOCFLOW_SECRET_CODE=your_secret_code

# Optional: override API host (default: https://docflow.textin.com)
export DOCFLOW_HOST=https://docflow.textin.com

Get your APP_ID and SECRET_CODE from the Docflow console.

Running

Stdio (for MCP clients)

# Via installed command
docflow-mcp

# Or via Python module
python -m docflow_mcp

Claude Code Integration

Add to your Claude Code MCP settings (~/.claude/settings.json or project .claude/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docflow": {
      "command": "docflow-mcp",
      "env": {
        "DOCFLOW_APP_ID": "your_app_id",
        "DOCFLOW_SECRET_CODE": "your_secret_code"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or if using python -m:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docflow": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "docflow_mcp"],
      "env": {
        "DOCFLOW_APP_ID": "your_app_id",
        "DOCFLOW_SECRET_CODE": "your_secret_code"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tool Reference

Workflow Tools (6)

High-level tools that hide polling, multi-step logic, and upload routing.

Tool	Description
`docflow_get_or_create_workspace`	Find workspace by name, or create if not found (idempotent)
`docflow_list_categories`	List all enabled categories with field configurations
`docflow_create_category`	Create category with fields and sample file
`docflow_upload_and_extract`	Upload files (list or directory) and wait for extraction results
`docflow_setup_review_rules`	Create review rule repo with groups and rules (idempotent)
`docflow_run_review`	Submit review task and wait for rule-by-rule results

`docflow_upload_and_extract` — Upload Routing

Automatically selects upload mode based on file count:

≤ 3 files → synchronous upload (results returned immediately)
> 3 files → asynchronous upload + polling until all files complete

Accepts either:

file_paths: explicit list of local file paths
directory: auto-scans for supported files (PDF, JPG, PNG, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, OFD, TXT)

`docflow_setup_review_rules` — Rule Structure

Rule Repository
└── Rule Group (e.g. "金额审核")
    └── Rule (name, prompt, category_ids, risk_level)
        risk_level: 10=high, 20=medium, 30=low

API Coverage

44 of 46 Docflow API endpoints are covered.

Intentionally omitted:

GET /auth/token — generates short-lived token for iframe embedding, not agent use
GET /category/sample/download — returns binary file content, not useful for agents

Internally called (no separate tool needed):

POST /file/upload, /file/upload/sync → used inside docflow_upload_and_extract
POST /workspace/create → used inside docflow_get_or_create_workspace
POST /review/rule_repo/create, /rule_group/create, /rule/create → used inside docflow_setup_review_rules
POST /review/task/submit → used inside docflow_run_review

Requirements

Python ≥ 3.10
Network access to docflow.textin.com
