Workflows that once required weeks of engineering now come together in minutes. Across industries, developers are assembling AI agents, chaining tools, and creating systems that adapt on the fly. With the launch of fileAI’s MCP server, turning raw files into structured, usable data has become one of those instantly accessible building blocks.

From enterprise deployments to developer-first

For 5 years, fileAI has powered high-stakes document processing for enterprises in industries including finance, insurance, and government. To power those workflows, we built integrations that were tailored, high-impact, and built to last.

But inside those same enterprises, developers were experimenting — wiring fileAI into side projects, chaining APIs with AI agents, and asking for a faster, frictionless way to integrate our capabilities.

The takeaway: adoption doesn’t just start with enterprise procurement. It starts at the developer terminal.

Why we built an MCP server

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is designed for interoperability. It allows AI agents and large language models to discover and use tools natively, without custom code or brittle connectors.

By launching the fileAI MCP server, we’ve made our AI OCR, classification, and AI schema extraction capabilities available instantly inside MCP-enabled environments like Cursor, Claude Desktop, and others. One prompt can now handle the entire pipeline — upload → OCR → classify → extract → export.

What this means for AI builders and developers

With the fileAI MCP server, you can:

• Automate in one step – Turn unstructured files into structured, validated data with a single natural language prompt.
• Extract exactly what you need – Use AI schemas to retrieve targeted fields and metadata.
• Build agentic workflows across your files–Use fileAI’s AI OCR, classification, and extraction in any MCP-enabled LLM or agent.
• Reason over unstructured data–Enable your agents to understand and use raw files across their operations.
• Orchestrate your own flow: build any workflow on top of your data, integrated seamlessly with your favorite tools such as Notion, Slack, and Google Drive.
  
  

Built for speed, designed for scale

We partnered with Tadata to accelerate development. Their MCP infrastructure ingested our OpenAPI specification, generated tool definitions, and integrated authentication — allowing us to focus on developer experience and workflow reliability.

This isn’t just a developer feature. For our enterprise customers, it means live “touchless automation” without custom integration work, shortening the path from concept to production.

Looking ahead

Our MCP server is more than a feature drop — it’s a new way to think about document automation. By embedding fileAI’s AI OCR, classification, and AI schema capabilities directly into MCP-compatible environments, we’ve removed the barriers between data and action. Now, whether you’re automating a compliance process, enriching customer records, or powering a multi-agent system, the building blocks are already in place. All that’s left is what you choose to create.
