clichefactory-mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for ClicheFactory — structured data extraction from documents.

This server exposes ClicheFactory's extraction and document conversion capabilities as MCP tools, allowing AI assistants in Cursor, Claude Desktop, OpenClaw, and other MCP-compatible clients to extract structured data from PDFs, images, DOCX, XLSX, CSV, EML, and more.

Quick start (recommended — service mode)

Service mode uses the ClicheFactory cloud for the best extraction quality. You only need one API key.

Sign up at clichefactory.com — free pages included, no credit card required.
Create an API key in Settings → API Keys (format: cliche-...).
Install the MCP server:
```
pip install clichefactory-mcp
```
Configure — either paste the key into your MCP client (see below) or run once in a terminal:
```
pip install clichefactory   # if you don't have the CLI yet
clichefactory configure
```
The interactive wizard saves credentials to ~/.clichefactory/config.toml, which the MCP server reads automatically.

That's it — one env var (CLICHEFACTORY_API_KEY) or a config file, and you're on hosted extraction.

Tools

Tool	Description
`extract`	Extract structured JSON from a document using a schema
`to_markdown`	Convert a document to markdown text
`doctor`	Check configuration, dependencies, and system binaries

`extract`

The main tool. Pass a document file and a JSON schema — get structured data back.

Supports all extraction modes:

Mode	Description	Requires
(default)	OCR + LLM extraction	Service API key (recommended)
`fast`	Fastest pipeline	Service API key
`trained`	Trained pipeline artifact	Service + `artifact_id`
`robust`	Two-stage extract + verify	Service only
`robust-trained`	Trained extract + verification	Service + `artifact_id`

The schema can be provided as:

File path: absolute path to a .json schema file
Inline dict: the LLM constructs a JSON schema from the conversation (e.g., the user says "extract the invoice number and total" and the LLM builds {"type": "object", "properties": {"invoice_number": {"type": "string"}, "total": {"type": "number"}}})

`to_markdown`

Converts any supported document to markdown. Useful for inspecting document contents or feeding them to the LLM for analysis before deciding on an extraction schema.

`doctor`

Runs diagnostics on the ClicheFactory setup — config file, API keys, Python dependencies, system binaries. Call this when things aren't working.

Execution Modes

The server defaults to service mode (ClicheFactory cloud). Local mode is available for BYOK / air-gapped use.

service (recommended) — Uses the ClicheFactory cloud service. Requires a ClicheFactory API key. Supports all extraction modes including trained pipelines and robust verification. Best extraction quality out of the box.
local (advanced) — Runs extraction on your machine. You bring your own LLM key (BYOK). Requires pip install "clichefactory-mcp[local]" (~2 GB of parsing/OCR dependencies) plus system binaries (tesseract, LibreOffice). Quality depends on your local setup.

Installation

Prerequisites

Python ≥ 3.12
uv (recommended) or pip

From PyPI

pip install clichefactory-mcp

For local-mode extraction (BYOK, runs on your machine), install with the local extras:

pip install "clichefactory-mcp[local]"

Configuration

Environment Variables

Set these in your MCP client configuration (see below) or in ~/.clichefactory/config.toml via clichefactory configure.
