- Programmatic tool calling allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling.
- Handling Large tool responses out of LLM context to minimize context rot.
- Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 1000+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so LLMs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need.

## Connect Extracta ai to Claude Code

### Connecting Extracta ai to Claude Code using Composio
1. Add the Composio MCP to Claude

```bash
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http composio https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
```

## What is Claude Code?

Claude Code is Anthropic's command line developer tool that lets you use Claude directly inside your terminal. Instead of switching between your editor, browser, and chat, you can stay in your project folder and ask Claude to help you build, debug, refactor, and understand code right where you're working.
Key features include:
- Terminal-Native Experience: Work with Claude directly in your command line without switching contexts
- MCP Support: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers to extend Claude's capabilities
- Project Context: Claude understands your project structure and can read, write, and modify files
- Interactive Development: Ask questions, debug code, and get help in real-time while coding
- Multi-Platform: Works on macOS, Linux, WSL, and Windows

## 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 Claude Code (and other AI assistants like Claude and Cursor) directly to your Extracta ai account. It provides structured and secure access so Claude can perform Extracta ai operations on your behalf.
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:
- Claude Pro, Max, or API billing enabled Anthropic account
- Composio API Key
- A Extracta ai account
- Basic knowledge of Python or TypeScript

### 1. Install Claude Code

To install Claude Code, use one of the following methods based on your operating system:
```bash
# macOS, Linux, WSL
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

# Windows PowerShell
irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex

# Windows CMD
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.cmd -o install.cmd && install.cmd && del install.cmd
```

### 2. Set up Claude Code

Open a terminal, go to your project folder, and start Claude Code:
- Claude Code will open in your terminal
- Follow the prompts to sign in with your Anthropic account
- Complete the authentication flow
- Once authenticated, you can start using Claude Code
```bash
cd your-project-folder
claude
```

### 3. Set up environment variables

Create a .env file in your project root with the following variables:
- COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio (get it from [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=claude-code&utm_content=api_key&next=%2F~%2Forg%2Fconnect%2Fclients%2Fclaude-code))
- USER_ID identifies the user for session management (use any unique identifier)
```bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
USER_ID=your_user_id_here
```

### 4. Install Composio library

No description provided.
```python
pip install composio-core python-dotenv
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core dotenv
```

### 5. Generate Composio MCP URL

No description provided.
```python
import os
from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
USER_ID = os.getenv("USER_ID")

composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)

composio_session = composio_client.create(
    user_id=USER_ID,
    toolkits=["extracta_ai"],
)

COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url

print(f"MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}")
print(f"\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:")
print(f'claude mcp add --transport http extracta_ai-composio "{COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}" --headers "X-API-Key:{COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"')
```

```typescript
import 'dotenv/config';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';

const { COMPOSIO_API_KEY, USER_ID } = process.env;

if (!COMPOSIO_API_KEY || !USER_ID) {
  throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID required in .env');
}

const composioClient = new Composio({ apiKey: COMPOSIO_API_KEY });

const composioSession = await composioClient.create(USER_ID, {
  toolkits: ['extracta_ai'],
});

const composioMcpUrl = composioSession?.mcp.url;

console.log(`MCP URL: ${composioMcpUrl}`);
console.log(`\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:`);
console.log(`claude mcp add --transport http extracta_ai-composio "${composioMcpUrl}" --headers "X-API-Key:${COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"`);
```

### 6. Run the script and copy the MCP URL

No description provided.
```python
python generate_mcp_url.py
```

```typescript
node --loader ts-node/esm generate_mcp_url.ts
# or if using tsx
tsx generate_mcp_url.ts
```

### 7. Add Extracta ai MCP to Claude Code

In your terminal, add the MCP server using the command from the previous step. The command format is:
- claude mcp add registers a new MCP server with Claude Code
- --transport http specifies that this is an HTTP-based MCP server
- The server name (extracta_ai-composio) is how you'll reference it
- The URL points to your Composio Tool Router session
- --headers includes your Composio API key for authentication
After running the command, close the current Claude Code session and start a new one for the changes to take effect.
```bash
claude mcp add --transport http extracta_ai-composio "YOUR_MCP_URL_HERE" --headers "X-API-Key:YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY"

# Then restart Claude Code
exit
claude
```

### 8. Verify the installation

Check that your Extracta ai MCP server is properly configured.
- This command lists all MCP servers registered with Claude Code
- You should see your extracta_ai-composio entry in the list
- This confirms that Claude Code can now access Extracta ai tools
If everything is wired up, you should see your extracta_ai-composio entry listed:
```bash
claude mcp list
```

### 9. Authenticate Extracta ai

The first time you try to use Extracta ai tools, you'll be prompted to authenticate.
- Claude Code will detect that you need to authenticate with Extracta ai
- It will show you an authentication link
- Open the link in your browser (or copy/paste it)
- Complete the Extracta ai authorization flow
- Return to the terminal and start using Extracta ai through Claude Code
Once authenticated, you can ask Claude Code to perform Extracta ai operations in natural language. For example:
- "Extract tables from a PDF invoice"
- "Pull key data from a scanned receipt"
- "Get extraction results for uploaded contract"

## Complete Code

```python
import os
from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
USER_ID = os.getenv("USER_ID")

composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)

composio_session = composio_client.create(
    user_id=USER_ID,
    toolkits=["extracta_ai"],
)

COMPOSIO_MCP_URL = composio_session.mcp.url

print(f"MCP URL: {COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}")
print(f"\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:")
print(f'claude mcp add --transport http extracta_ai-composio "{COMPOSIO_MCP_URL}" --headers "X-API-Key:{COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"')
```

```typescript
import 'dotenv/config';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';

const { COMPOSIO_API_KEY, USER_ID } = process.env;

if (!COMPOSIO_API_KEY || !USER_ID) {
  throw new Error('COMPOSIO_API_KEY and USER_ID required in .env');
}

const composioClient = new Composio({ apiKey: COMPOSIO_API_KEY });

const composioSession = await composioClient.create(USER_ID, {
  toolkits: ['extracta_ai'],
});

const composioMcpUrl = composioSession?.mcp.url;

console.log(`MCP URL: ${composioMcpUrl}`);
console.log(`\nUse this command to add to Claude Code:`);
console.log(`claude mcp add --transport http extracta_ai-composio "${composioMcpUrl}" --headers "X-API-Key:${COMPOSIO_API_KEY}"`);
```

## 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 Code?

Yes, you can. Claude Code 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.
