How to Set Up and Use ComIDP

ComIDP MCP Server integrates ComPDF AI's Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) service with Claude Desktop, enabling AI-assisted extraction of structured data from PDFs and common image formats including PNG, JPG, and TIFF. It exposes two tools — one for processing individual documents and one for batch-processing entire directories — turning unstructured invoices, contracts, and forms into machine-readable structured output. Teams use it to automate document parsing workflows directly from Claude conversations without writing custom extraction pipelines.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10 or higher
  • pip and the uv package manager
  • A ComPDF AI API key (IDPKEY) — available via the ComPDF free trial program at compdf.com
  • An MCP client such as Claude Desktop
1

Clone the repository

Clone the ComPDFKit/ComIDP-MCP-Server repository and navigate to the src directory where the server code lives.

git clone https://github.com/ComPDFKit/ComIDP-MCP-Server.git
cd ComIDP-MCP-Server/src
2

Create a Python virtual environment

Create and activate a virtual environment to isolate the server's dependencies from your system Python.

python -m venv .venv
# macOS/Linux:
source .venv/bin/activate
# Windows:
.venv\Scripts\activate
3

Install dependencies

Install all required Python packages from the requirements file.

pip install -r requirements.txt
4

Obtain a ComPDF AI API key

Sign up at compdf.com and retrieve your IDPKEY from the developer dashboard. This key authenticates all document processing API calls.

5

Configure Claude Desktop

Add the server to claude_desktop_config.json. Use absolute paths for the directory and script arguments. Replace /path/to/src with the real absolute path to the cloned src directory.

6

Restart Claude Desktop and test

Restart Claude Desktop so it loads the new server. Then ask Claude to extract data from a PDF file to verify the connection.

ComIDP Examples

Client configuration

Add this block to claude_desktop_config.json. Replace /absolute/path/to/ComIDP-MCP-Server/src with the actual path on your machine.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "comidp-mcp": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--directory",
        "/absolute/path/to/ComIDP-MCP-Server/src",
        "/absolute/path/to/ComIDP-MCP-Server/src/comidp_tools.py"
      ],
      "env": {
        "IDPKEY": "your_compdf_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

Once the server is connected, use these prompts in Claude Desktop to extract data from documents.

- "Extract all data from /documents/invoice.pdf and summarize the key fields."
- "Process all PDFs in /documents/invoices/ and extract invoice numbers, vendors, and totals."
- "Extract the table data from /reports/financial_statement.pdf."
- "Read /scans/contract.pdf and identify the parties, dates, and payment terms."

Troubleshooting ComIDP

Server fails with 'IDPKEY not set' or authentication errors

Ensure the IDPKEY environment variable is set in the env block of your claude_desktop_config.json. The key is passed at runtime and is not read from .env files automatically.

Claude Desktop cannot find the server script

Use absolute paths in both the --directory argument and the script path argument. Relative paths are not resolved by Claude Desktop's MCP server launcher.

Batch extraction from a folder returns no results

Confirm the directory path is accessible to the Python process and contains supported file types (PDF, PNG, JPG, TIFF). Use the data_extraction tool on a single file first to confirm API connectivity before trying batch mode.
