Needle MCP Server

Production-ready MCP server for local structured extraction, classification, and summarization.

CI License: MIT

Needle MCP lets software work with structured data on your machine. It uses the Cactus Needle model, so you keep data local and get faster responses.


Features

  • Extract JSON-structured data from any text without writing a prompt.

  • Automatically drops unnecessary context to stay inside the model context window.

  • Chunk and search large documents locally before sending them to a large language model.

  • A JSON repair step guarantees parsable results.

  • SQLite cache returns identical requests instantly.
