Mistral MCP

Turn text or Markdown invoices into typed JSON through MCP. mistral-mcp uses Mistral chat to extract vendors, totals, line items and due dates, then validates the response schema. Optional Mistral OCR handles PDF and image inputs. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with mistral ai, codestral and ocr and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
