Compare MCP servers that extract data from documents. Find the right tool for invoice processing, receipt scanning, bank statements, and more.
claude mcp add lido -- npx -y @lido-app/mcp-serverThree steps from install to extracted data
Run a single command in your terminal. Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf.
Tell Claude or Cursor to extract data from your documents. Describe what you need in plain English.
Lido reads the document layout, extracts the fields and tables, and returns structured data you can use immediately.
Extract data from documents without leaving your editor
Lido reads document layouts the way a human would — interpreting headers, tables, and field relationships by context. No zones, no rules, no training.
Run a single npm command and the MCP server connects to your AI assistant. No API keys to configure, no SDKs to install, no dashboard to set up.
Get clean rows and columns from any document. Line items, totals, dates, vendor names — extracted and organized into data you can pipe into your code.
OCR built in. Photographed receipts, scanned invoices, and image-only PDFs all get the same accurate extraction as digital documents.
Process hundreds of documents in a single conversation. Point your AI assistant at a folder and let Lido extract them all.
SOC 2 Type 2 certified and HIPAA compliant. Documents encrypted in transit and at rest, automatically deleted within 24 hours.
Tell your AI assistant what to extract in plain English
"Extract all line items from invoice.pdf — I need vendor, amount, date, and description for each."
"Process every PDF in /documents/ and create a CSV with columns for vendor name, invoice number, total, and due date."
"Extract the transaction table from this bank statement. I need date, description, debit, credit, and running balance."
"Convert these scanned receipts to a JSON array with merchant, total, tax, date, and payment method for each."
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard created by Anthropic that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data sources. Instead of copying and pasting data between your browser and your AI, MCP servers give the AI direct access to specialized capabilities.
The Lido MCP server gives Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible tools the ability to extract structured data from documents. When you install the server, your AI assistant gains four new tools: authenticate with your Lido account, extract data from files, get extraction tips for different document types, and check your usage.
This means you can hand your AI a stack of documents and ask it to pull out the data you need — all within the same conversation where you're writing code, analyzing data, or building automation.
Traditional document extraction tools require you to switch to a web dashboard, upload files, configure extraction templates, and then export the results back to wherever you're working. MCP eliminates that context switching.
With an MCP server, your AI assistant handles the entire flow: it reads your document, calls the extraction API, and gives you structured data — all in the same terminal or editor where you're already working. You describe what you need in English, and the AI figures out how to extract it.
Lido's approach is especially useful because it requires no templates. Most extraction tools need you to define zones, rules, or training sets for each document layout. Lido reads the visual structure of each document individually, the way a human would scan a page and understand which numbers are totals, which text is a vendor name, and which rows form a table.
Any tool that supports Model Context Protocol. This includes Claude Code (terminal), Claude Desktop (app), Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible clients. The server installs the same way in all of them.
No. Lido reads document layouts automatically — it interprets headers, tables, and field relationships by visual context rather than predefined zones or rules. This means it works on any document layout from any source without configuration.
95-99% accuracy on digital documents and 90-98% on scanned documents. Lido uses AI vision models that read the visual structure of each page, so accuracy is consistent across different layouts and formats.
50 pages free, no credit card required. After that, plans start at $29/month for 100 pages. Enterprise pricing is available for high-volume processing.
Lido is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and HIPAA compliant. Documents are encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit. All uploaded documents are automatically deleted within 24 hours and are never used to train AI models.
Yes. The MCP server includes OCR for scanned documents and images. Photographed receipts, scanned invoices, and image-only PDFs all get the same structured extraction as digital documents.
One command. 50 free pages. No credit card, no templates, no configuration.
