MinerU Open MCP (Official)
MinerU Open MCP
一个官方的 Mineru MCP 服务器,将 MinerU 的文档解析功能作为 MCP 工具提供。连接任何兼容 MCP 的 AI 客户端,即可将 PDF、Word 文档、PowerPoint 文件和图像转换为 Markdown。
无需 API 密钥 — Flash 模式开箱即用,免费且无需注册,但有较低的使用限制。设置 MINERU_API_TOKEN 可解锁更高的限制和额外的输出格式。
关于带沙盒的 MCP 客户端的说明 - 对于某些 MCP 客户端,拖入输入框的文件会被放入临时目录的沙盒中。如果您需要上传并解析本地文件,请在提示词中提供目标文件的完整路径,以防服务器无法找到文件。
⚡ 最快捷的运行方式 — uvx (无需安装)
mineru-open-mcp 已发布在 PyPI 上。安装 uv 后,您可以直接运行它,无需单独的安装步骤。
配置您的 MCP 客户端
stdio — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf
MCP 客户端会自动将 mineru-open-mcp 作为子进程启动。
使用 uvx (推荐 — 始终运行最新版本):
{
"mcpServers": {
"mineru": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mineru-open-mcp"],
"env": {
"MINERU_API_TOKEN": "your_key_here"
}
}
}
}没有 API 密钥? 服务器以 Flash 模式运行 — 免费,仅限 Markdown 输出,更多信息请访问 Flash 模式文档

Available Tools
2 toolsget_ocr_languagesList OCR language codesARead-only
Return supported MinerU OCR and script language codes (e.g. ch, en, japan, latin). Read-only; no uploads. Use before setting the language argument on parse_documents for scanned or multilingual documents. Do not use for file conversion; call parse_documents instead.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds 'Read-only; no uploads,' which reinforces and complements the annotations without contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three succinct sentences with no wasted words. Purpose, behavioral note, and usage guidance are each in separate, front-loaded sentences.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a zero-parameter tool with an output schema, the description adequately covers its purpose, when to use it, and behavioral constraints. No missing information.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Tool has zero parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. No parameter information needed; baseline is 4. Description correctly omits param details.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool returns supported OCR language codes, specifying verb 'Return' and resource 'MinerU OCR and script language codes'. It distinguishes from the sibling tool parse_documents.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use ('before setting the language argument on parse_documents for scanned or multilingual documents') and when not to ('Do not use for file conversion'), with a direct alternative (parse_documents).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
parse_documentsParse documents to MarkdownA
Convert PDF, Office (DOCX, PPTX), spreadsheets (XLSX in Flash mode), images, and http(s) URLs to Markdown using the MinerU cloud API (content is uploaded to mineru.net; do not use for data that must stay on-device). Does not modify source files; may write Markdown under output_dir when saving results. Auth: without MINERU_API_TOKEN, Flash mode applies (Markdown-only, about 20 pages and 10 MB per file; service rate limits). With MINERU_API_TOKEN, higher limits and optional formats per plan. Use for extraction and conversion. Use get_ocr_languages only to list OCR language codes, not to parse files. Not for fully offline parsing. Parameters: file_sources is paths/URLs or objects with source and pages for PDF ranges; language is an OCR code (default ch); enable_ocr defaults to auto (null); set model to html only if every source is a web page URL.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| file_sources | Yes | Files to parse. Each entry is either: - a plain string: a local file path or URL - a dict {"source": "...", "pages": "N-M"}: with an optional page range Page range: "N" (single page) or "N-M" (for example "1-10"). PDF only. Duplicate sources are allowed, for example the same PDF with different ranges. Examples: ["report.pdf"] [{"source": "report.pdf", "pages": "1-5"}] [{"source": "a.pdf", "pages": "1-3"}, {"source": "a.pdf", "pages": "10-15"}] ["https://example.com/doc.pdf", "local.docx"] | |
| enable_ocr | No | OCR mode: null (default) - auto-detect: the server decides whether OCR is needed. true - force OCR on when the user mentions poor scan quality. false - disable OCR. Omit this parameter unless the user explicitly mentions scan quality issues. | |
| language | No | OCR language code. Omit if unknown; the server defaults to "ch" (Chinese + English). Infer from the document filename when possible, for example "manual_en.pdf" -> "en". Common codes: "ch", "en", "japan", "korean", "latin", "arabic", "cyrillic", "devanagari". Full list: call get_ocr_languages. | |
| model | No | Parsing model. Set to "html" only when all file_sources are web page URLs. Otherwise omit it and let MinerU auto-select the appropriate model. Ignored in Flash mode. | |
| output_dir | No | Directory used when parsed results need to be saved locally, such as batch parsing or oversized inline content. Defaults to the server-configured directory. |

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Discloses data uploaded to mineru.net (beyond annotations), non-destructive nature, and potential file writes. Annotations (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=true) are consistent with description; no contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Concise multi-sentence description with logical flow: function, caveats, usage guidance, parameter tips. No redundancy; each sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers complex tool with 5 params, auth modes, output behavior, and offline limitation. Output schema exists, so return value details are not needed. Complete for agent decision-making.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline 3. Description adds value by summarizing key usage hints for parameters (e.g., file_sources examples, enable_ocr auto-detection, model='html' condition). Minor improvement over schema alone.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Convert' and the resource 'PDF, Office, spreadsheets, images, and URLs to Markdown'. It distinguishes from sibling tool get_ocr_languages by noting its exclusive use for listing OCR codes, not parsing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use ('Use for extraction and conversion'), when not ('Not for fully offline parsing'), and mentions alternative (get_ocr_languages). Also covers auth-dependent behaviors and rate limits.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have entirely distinct purposes: one lists OCR language codes, the other performs document parsing. There is no overlap or ambiguity.
Both tool names follow a clear verb_noun pattern (get_ocr_languages, parse_documents), ensuring predictability and consistency.
With only two tools, the server is at the lower end of reasonable scope. While it covers core functionality, additional tools for status checking or format listing would improve completeness.
The tool set covers the primary use case (document conversion) and a helper for language codes, but lacks operations like checking conversion status or listing all supported formats, creating minor gaps.
