## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Extracta ai to the Claude Agent SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Extracta ai agent that can extract tables from a pdf invoice, pull key data from a scanned receipt, get extraction results for uploaded contract through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Claude Agent SDK agent real control over a Extracta ai account through Composio's Extracta ai MCP server.
Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved.

## TL;DR

Here's what you'll learn:
- Get and set up your Claude/Anthropic and Composio API keys
- Install the necessary dependencies
- Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Extracta ai
- Configure an AI agent that can use Extracta ai as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Extracta ai operations

## What is Claude Agent SDK?

The Claude Agent SDK is Anthropic's official framework for building AI agents powered by Claude. It provides a streamlined interface for creating agents with MCP tool support and conversation management.
Key features include:
- Native MCP Support: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers
- Permission Modes: Control tool execution permissions
- Streaming Responses: Real-time response streaming for interactive applications
- Context Manager: Clean async context management for sessions

## What is the Extracta ai MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Extracta ai MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Extracta ai account. It provides structured and secure access to your document extraction workflows, so your agent can initiate new extractions, monitor extraction status, retrieve results, and manage extraction processes automatically on your behalf.
- Automated document data extraction: Instantly trigger new extraction processes on PDFs, images, or text files without manual intervention.
- Real-time extraction status tracking: Let your agent check the progress, view details, and fetch results from any ongoing or completed extraction.
- Seamless extraction management: Effortlessly delete or clean up extraction jobs after completion or if no longer needed, keeping your workspace organized.
- End-to-end workflow orchestration: Combine extraction initiation, monitoring, and cleanup into a single automated pipeline for maximum efficiency.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `EXTRACTA_AI_CREATE_CLASSIFICATION` | Create Classification | Creates a new document classification configuration. Define a list of possible document types with their characteristics (name, description, unique words). Returns a classification ID that can be used to upload documents for automatic type prediction. This is the first step before uploading documents for classification. |
| `EXTRACTA_AI_CREATE_EXTRACTION` | Create Extraction | Creates a new extraction configuration for processing documents. Define what fields to extract (e.g., names, dates, amounts) and processing options. Returns an extraction ID that can be used to upload and process files. This is the first step before uploading documents for extraction. |
| `EXTRACTA_AI_DELETE_CLASSIFICATION` | Delete Classification | Permanently deletes an entire document classification process including all associated batches, results, and uploaded files. Use this when you want to remove a classification that is no longer needed. WARNING: This action cannot be undone. |
| `EXTRACTA_AI_DELETE_EXTRACTION` | Delete Extraction | Permanently deletes an extraction job and its configuration from the system. Use this when you want to remove an extraction job that is no longer needed. This action is idempotent - calling it multiple times with the same ID will not cause errors. Requires the extraction ID obtained from creating or viewing an extraction. |
| `EXTRACTA_AI_GET_BATCH_RESULTS` | Get Batch Results | Retrieves extraction results for a specific batch of documents. Returns the extracted data for each file in the batch, along with processing status and file information. If the batch is still processing, results may be empty or incomplete. Maintain 2-second intervals between consecutive requests to avoid rate-limiting. |
| `EXTRACTA_AI_GET_CREDITS` | Get Credits | Retrieves the current credit balance available on the account. The system operates on a per-page consumption model where 1 credit = 1 page of document processing. Use this action to check remaining credits before processing documents. |
| `EXTRACTA_AI_UPDATE_CLASSIFICATION` | Update Classification | Updates an existing document classification by modifying its parameters. Use this to change the classification name, description, or document types (including their keywords and linked extractions). Requires the classification ID from a previously created classification. |
| `EXTRACTA_AI_UPDATE_EXTRACTION` | Update Extraction | Updates an existing document extraction process by modifying specified parameters. Only fields provided in the request are modified; omitted fields remain unchanged. Use this to change the extraction's name, description, language, fields to extract, or processing options without recreating the entire extraction job. |
| `EXTRACTA_AI_VIEW_CLASSIFICATION` | View Classification | Retrieves details of an existing classification configuration including name, description, document types, associated keywords, and linked extraction templates. Use this action to verify classification setup or retrieve configuration details for debugging and auditing purposes. |
| `EXTRACTA_AI_VIEW_EXTRACTION` | View Extraction | Retrieves detailed configuration and status information for an existing extraction job. Returns the extraction's name, description, language, configured fields, processing options, and any associated batches. Use this action to: - Check the configuration of an extraction job - Verify the fields that will be extracted - View processing options (table extraction, handwriting recognition, etc.) - Monitor batch status if files have been uploaded for processing Requires: extraction_id from a previously created extraction (via Create Extraction action) |

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Extracta ai MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Extracta ai. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Extracta ai operations on your behalf through a secure, permission-based interface.
With Composio's managed implementation, you don't have to create your own developer app. For production, if you're building an end product, we recommend using your own credentials. The managed server helps you prototype fast and go from 0-1 faster.

## Step-by-step Guide

### 1. Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:
- Composio API Key and Claude/Anthropic API Key
- Primary know-how of Claude Agents SDK
- A Extracta ai account
- Some knowledge of Python

### 1. Getting API Keys for Claude/Anthropic and Composio

Claude/Anthropic API Key
- Go to the [Anthropic Console](https://console.anthropic.com/settings/organization/api-keys) and create an API key. You'll need credits to use the models.
- Keep the API key safe.
Composio API Key
- Log in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_docs).
- Navigate to your API settings and generate a new API key.
- Store this key securely as you'll need it for authentication.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Extracta ai MCP?

With a standalone Extracta ai MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Extracta ai tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Extracta ai and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Agent SDK?

Yes, you can. Claude Agent SDK fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Extracta ai tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Extracta ai while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Extracta ai scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Extracta ai data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
