FAQ from Parzo Invoice Extraction

What do I need to use Parzo Invoice Extraction?

You need Node.js installed, a free Parzo API key (get one at parzo.dev/signup), and an MCP-compatible client such as Claude Code or Cursor. The PDF files must be accessible on your local machine.

Why do I see "Missing X-API-Key header"?

Your Parzo API key is not set or is incorrectly configured. Ensure the PARZO_API_KEY environment variable is defined in the env block of your MCP config file with a valid key.

Why does the server say "File not found"?

The MCP server requires an absolute path to the PDF file. On Windows with WSL, use the /mnt/c/Users/... format to reference Windows files.

The server is not showing up in my client. What should I do?

Restart your MCP client after editing the config file. Then run "List the available Parzo tools" to verify that extract_invoice and get_job appear.

What tools are available in Parzo Invoice Extraction?

Two tools: extract_invoice (extracts data from an invoice PDF) and get_job (retrieves the status and result of a previous extraction job). Both accept an optional api_key parameter if not set via environment.
