Below is a list of connectors the UNS-MCP
server currently supports, please see the full list of source connectors that Unstructured platform supports here and destination list here. We are planning on adding more!
To use the tool that creates/updates/deletes a connector, the credentials for that specific connector must be defined in your .env file. Below is the list of credentials
for the connectors we support:
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

server, see how in documentation LOG_LEVEL
Used to set logging level for our minimal_client
, e.g. set to ERROR to get everything CONFIRM_TOOL_USE
set to true so that minimal_client
can confirm execution before each tool call DEBUG_API_REQUESTS
set to true so that uns_mcp/server.py
can output request parameters for better debugging
Firecrawl is a web crawling API that provides two main capabilities in our MCP:
invoke_firecrawl_crawlhtml
to start crawl jobs and check_crawlhtml_status
to monitor theminvoke_firecrawl_llmtxt
to generate text and check_llmtxt_status
to retrieve resultsHow Firecrawl works:
Web Crawling Process:
cancel_crawlhtml_job
if neededLLM Text Generation:
cancel_llmtxt_job
function is provided for consistency but is not currently supported by the Firecrawl API.Note: A FIRECRAWL_API_KEY
environment variable must be set to use these functions.
This guide provides step-by-step instructions to set up and configure the UNS_MCP server using Python 3.12 and the uv
tool.
uv
for environment managementNo additional installation is required when using uvx
as it handles execution. However, if you prefer to install the package directly:
For integration with Claude Desktop, add the following content to your claude_desktop_config.json
:
Note: The file is located in the ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/
directory.
Using uvx
Command:
{ "mcpServers": { "UNS_MCP": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["uns_mcp"], "env": { "UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY": "<your-key>" } } } }
Alternatively, Using Python Package:
{ "mcpServers": { "UNS_MCP": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "uns_mcp"], "env": { "UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY": "<your-key>" } } } }
Clone the repository.
Install dependencies:
Set your Unstructured API key as an environment variable. Create a .env file in the root directory with the following content:
UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY="YOUR_KEY"
Refer to .env.template
for the configurable environment variables.
You can now run the server using one of the following methods:
Using Editable Package Installation Install as an editable package:Update your Claude Desktop config:
{ "mcpServers": { "UNS_MCP": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["uns_mcp"] } } }
Note: Remember to point to the uvx executable in environment where you installed the package
Using SSE Server ProtocolNote: Not supported by Claude Desktop.
For SSE protocol, you can debug more easily by decoupling the client and server:
Start the server in one terminal:
uv run python uns_mcp/server.py --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8080 # or make sse-server
Test the server using a local client in another terminal:
uv run python minimal_client/client.py "http://127.0.0.1:8080/sse" # or make sse-client
Note: To stop the services, use Ctrl+C
on the client first, then the server.
Configure Claude Desktop to use stdio:
{ "mcpServers": { "UNS_MCP": { "command": "ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/.local/bin/uv", "args": [ "--directory", "ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/YOUR-UNS-MCP-REPO/uns_mcp", "run", "server.py" ] } } }
Alternatively, run the local client:
uv run python minimal_client/client.py uns_mcp/server.pyAdditional Local Client Configuration
Configure the minimal client using environmental variables:
LOG_LEVEL="ERROR"
: Set to suppress debug outputs from the LLM, displaying clear messages for users.CONFIRM_TOOL_USE='false'
: Disable tool use confirmation before execution. Use with caution, especially during development, as LLM may execute expensive workflows or delete data.Anthropic provides MCP Inspector
tool to debug/test your MCP server. Run the following command to spin up a debugging UI. From there, you will be able to add environment variables (pointing to your local env) on the left pane. Include your personal API key there as env var. Go to tools
, you can test out the capabilities you add to the MCP server.
mcp dev uns_mcp/server.py
If you need to log request call parameters to UnstructuredClient
, set the environment variable DEBUG_API_REQUESTS=false
. The logs are stored in a file with the format unstructured-client-{date}.log
, which can be examined to debug request call parameters to UnstructuredClient
functions.
We are going to use @wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander to add terminal access to the minimal client. It is built on the MCP Filesystem Server. Be careful, as the client (also LLM) now has access to private files.
Execute the following command to install the package:
npx @wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander setup
Then start client with extra parameter:
uv run python minimal_client/client.py "http://127.0.0.1:8080/sse" "@wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander" # or make sse-client-terminal
If your client supports using only subset of tools here are the list of things you should be aware:
update_workflow
tool has to be loaded in the context together with create_workflow
tool, because it contains detailed description on how to create and configure custom node.update_workflow
- needs to have in context the configuration of the workflow it is updating either by providing it by the user or by calling get_workflow_info
tool, as this tool doesn't work as patch
applier, it fully replaces the workflow config.Any new developed features/fixes/enhancements will be added to CHANGELOG.md. 0.x.x-dev pre-release format is preferred before we bump to a stable version.
Error: spawn <command> ENOENT
it means <command>
is not installed or visible in your PATH:
command
field of your config. So for example replace python
with /opt/miniconda3/bin/python
