## MCP tools (6)

### `mineru_parse` (~132 tokens)

Parse a document URL. Returns task_id to check status.

Input parameters:

- `formats` (array): Extra export formats
- `formula` (boolean): Formula recognition
- `language` (string): Language code: ch, en, etc
- `model` (string): pipeline=fast, vlm=90% accuracy
- `ocr` (boolean): Enable OCR (pipeline only)
- `pages` (string): Page range: 1-10,15 or 2--2
- `table` (boolean): Table recognition
- `url` (string, required): Document URL (PDF, DOC, PPT, images)

### `mineru_status` (~42 tokens)

Check task progress. Returns download URL when done.

Input parameters:

- `format` (string): Output format
- `task_id` (string, required): Task ID from mineru_parse

### `mineru_batch` (~137 tokens)

Parse multiple URLs in one batch (max 200). Preferred over mineru_upload_batch — faster and more reliable. Use public URLs (arXiv, SSRN, publisher sites) when available.

Input parameters:

- `formats` (array): Extra export formats
- `formula` (boolean): Formula recognition
- `language` (string): Language code: ch, en, etc
- `model` (string): pipeline=fast, vlm=90% accuracy
- `ocr` (boolean): Enable OCR (pipeline only)
- `table` (boolean): Table recognition
- `urls` (required): Array of document URLs, or a single URL string

### `mineru_batch_status` (~65 tokens)

Get batch results. Supports pagination for large batches.

Input parameters:

- `batch_id` (string, required): Batch ID from mineru_batch
- `format` (string): Output format
- `limit` (number): Max results to return
- `offset` (number): Skip first N results

### `mineru_upload_batch` (~156 tokens)

Upload local files for batch parsing. SLOW: uploads can take minutes and may timeout. Prefer mineru_batch with public URLs (arXiv, SSRN, publisher sites) when available — it's faster and more reliable. Only use this for files not available online.

Input parameters:

- `directory` (string): Directory path containing PDF/DOC/PPT files
- `files`: Array of absolute file paths, or a single path string
- `formats` (array): Extra export formats
- `formula` (boolean): Formula recognition
- `language` (string): Language code: ch, en, etc
- `model` (string): pipeline=fast, vlm=90% accuracy
- `table` (boolean): Table recognition

### `mineru_download_results` (~95 tokens)

Download batch results and extract named paper folders. Each folder contains {name}.md, {name}_content.json (structured TOC), and images/. Output includes parsed title — verify it matches the expected paper.

Input parameters:

- `batch_id` (string, required): Batch ID from mineru_upload_batch or mineru_batch
- `output_dir` (string, required): Directory to save markdown files
- `overwrite` (boolean): Overwrite existing files
