Bring Pulse to your AI agents: extract, split, schema, and tables as tools they can call.
The Pulse MCP server lets AI agents in Claude, Codex, VS Code, and other MCP clients work with documents (parsing them, applying schemas, splitting by topic, and pulling tables) by calling tools, the same way they call any other MCP tool. Run it either way; the tools are the same:
  • Hosted: point your client at https://mcp.runpulse.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Nothing to install.
  • Local: run uvx pulse-mcp on your machine (stdio). Agents can then also extract local files straight from disk.

Agent quickstart

Connect an agent and run the first document workflow.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI agents discover and call external tools. Instead of you wiring HTTP calls into your application, the agent reads each tool’s plain-English description, decides which tool to call, fills in the arguments, and chains the results together on its own. That makes Pulse available wherever your agent already lives: ask Claude to “extract the totals from this invoice,” and it will call Pulse’s extract and apply_schema tools and hand you back structured JSON, without you writing any extraction code.

​
When to use the MCP server

Use the MCP server

You’re working inside an agent or chat client (Claude, Codex, an MCP-enabled app) and want it to read and structure documents on demand, deciding the steps itself.

Use the SDK / API

You’re building a deterministic pipeline or batch job in your own code. The Python / TypeScript SDKs and REST API give you precise, repeatable control.

​
Tools

The server exposes eight tools. Most agent work starts with extract and then chains the returned extraction_id into the others. See Tools & workflows for full parameters, return shapes, and examples.
