Set up and interact with your unstructured data processing workflows in Unstructured Platform
If you want an AI assistant working directly with Unstructured, the unstructured mcp server is the bridge. Set up and interact with your unstructured data processing workflows in Unstructured Platform.
An MCP server implementation for interacting with the Unstructured API. This server provides tools to list sources and workflows.
Once connected, the assistant can call these 14 tools directly:
list_sources — Lists available sources from the Unstructured APIget_source_info — Get detailed information about a specific source connectorcreate_source_connector — Create a source connector.)update_source_connector — Update an existing source connector by paramsdelete_source_connector — Delete a source connector by source idlist_destinations — Lists available destinations from the Unstructured APIget_destination_info — Get detailed info about a specific destination connectorcreate_destination_connector — Create a destination connector by paramsupdate_destination_connector — Update an existing destination connector by destination iddelete_destination_connector — Delete a destination connector by destination idlist_workflows — Lists workflows from the Unstructured APIget_workflow_info — Get detailed information about a specific workflowcreate_workflow — Create a new workflow with source, destination id, etcrun_workflow — Run a specific workflow with workflow idThe server is distributed via npm as @wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Before the server will start you need to supply 8 environment variables: UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, WEAVIATE_CLOUD_API_KEY, FIRECRAWL_API_KEY, ASTRA_DB_APPLICATION_TOKEN, AZURE_ACCOUNT_KEY, AZURE_SAS_TOKEN, GOOGLEDRIVE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.

Unstructured sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — list_sources, get_source_info, create_source_connector among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Update your Claude Desktop config:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"UNS_MCP": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["uns_mcp"]
}
}
}Configuration as documented by the project. Restart the client after saving.
