MCP Document Analysis Server

MCP Document Analysis Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides document analysis capabilities to LLM applications. Supports PDF, DOCX, and plaintext extraction with chunking, summarization, and semantic search.

Features

• Document Extraction - Parse PDF, DOCX, and TXT files into structured text
• Smart Chunking - Split documents with configurable overlap for RAG pipelines
• Semantic Search - Embed and search document chunks using Cohere Embed v3
• Summarization - Generate document summaries with configurable detail level
• Metadata Extraction - Extract titles, authors, dates, page counts
• MCP Protocol - Full MCP compliance for integration with Claude, IDEs, and other MCP hosts
