An MCP server that provides OCR capabilities using Mistral AI's OCR API. This server can process both local files and URLs, supporting images and PDFs. Exposed over MCP by the mcp mistral ocr mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
You will need 3 environment variables: MISTRAL_API_KEY, OCR_DIR, YOUR_MISTRAL_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @smithery/cli on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Among the cloud and infrastructure options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. It is maintained by everaldo; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against MCP Mistral Ocr's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
