ADP MCP Server - Laiye ADP 文档中心

Overview

ADP MCP Server is the Model Context Protocol server for Laiye ADP. It lets MCP-compatible AI clients, such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Copilot Chat, Tongyi Lingma, and Coze, call ADP document parsing and extraction without writing code. Unlike the CLI, MCP Server runs over Streamable HTTP. A single connection can discover available tools, submit processing tasks, and query results inside the chat window. ADP combines vision language models, large language models, and agentic decision-making. It upgrades rule-driven field extraction into goal-driven document automation. ADP can classify and extract key fields from invoices, domestic bills, purchase contracts, logistics documents, financial reports, transaction contracts, and more. It supports table parsing, content verification, and multilingual recognition without manual templates, labeled data, or rule maintenance.

Try ADP

Quick start

1. Get an API key

Visit adp-global.laiye.com, register an ADP account, and get your API key from My MCP in personal settings.

2. Configure your MCP client

Visual configuration (recommended)
Claude Desktop
Other clients

Most MCP clients, including Cursor, Tongyi Lingma, and Coze, let you add MCP servers in their settings UI. In Cursor:

Open Settings → MCP.
Click Add new MCP server.
Fill in:
- Name: ADP
- Type: streamable-http
- URL: https://adp-global.laiye.com/mcp?key=<YOUR-ADP-API-Key>
Save the configuration and use ADP tools in chat.

Add the server to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adp": {
      "url": "https://adp-global.laiye.com/mcp?key=<YOUR-ADP-API-Key>",
      "transport": "streamable-http"
    }
  }
}

Core parameters:

Parameter	Value
Endpoint	`https://adp-global.laiye.com/mcp`
Transport	Streamable HTTP
Authentication	URL query `?key=<YOUR-ADP-API-Key>`

Use the same values in the MCP settings of VS Code, Copilot Chat, or other clients.

For private deployments, replace the domain with your actual service address.

3. Start using ADP

After connection, the AI client discovers all available ADP tools. Describe your task in chat, for example:

“Parse the structure of this PDF.”
“Extract information from this ID card.”
“Extract amount and date from this invoice.”

Tools

Document parsing

Tool	Description
`parse_document`	Parse PDFs, images, Word, Excel, PPT, and other documents. Returns structured text blocks, tables, reading order, and page coordinates. Use this when the document type is unknown or when you need the raw structure first.

Bills and order extraction

`extract_global_invoice`	Global invoices/receipts	Extracts key fields from global invoices and receipts, including invoice number, amount, tax, currency, and line items.
`extract_purchase_order`	Orders	Extracts order number, buyer and seller information, line items, and total amount from purchase and sales orders.

Cards and certificates

Tool	Title	Description
`extract_id_card`	ID card	Mainland China resident ID card. Front and back sides are supported.
`extract_bank_card`	Bank card	Bank card front side, including card number, bank, card type, and validity period.

Custom extraction

MCP also provides two tools for custom extraction applications created in the ADP platform:

Tool	Description
`list_custom_extract_apps`	List all custom extraction applications for the current user, including app ID, name, description, labels, and output field definitions.
`execute_custom_extract_app`	Process a file with a specified custom extraction application. Use `list_custom_extract_apps` to get the `app_id` first.

First call list_custom_extract_apps to find the target app_id, then call execute_custom_extract_app with the file and app_id.

Tool input parameters

Document parsing and OOTB extraction tools

All out-of-the-box tools share the same input schema:

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`file`	string	Yes	File URL or Base64 content.
`file_name`	string	No	File name with extension.
`with_rec_result`	boolean	No	Whether to include OCR intermediate results. Default: `true`.
`wait`	boolean	No	Whether to wait synchronously for the result. Default: `true`.
`timeout_seconds`	integer	No	Synchronous wait timeout in seconds. Default: `300`, range 1-900.

`execute_custom_extract_app`

This tool also requires:

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`app_id`	string	Yes	Custom extraction application ID from `list_custom_extract_apps`.

File input: Values starting with http://, https://, or file:// are treated as URLs. Other values are treated as Base64 content.Sync vs async: wait=true blocks until processing completes. wait=false returns task_id immediately for later querying.

Authentication

ADP MCP Server uses API key authentication through a URL query parameter:

https://adp-global.laiye.com/mcp?key=<YOUR-ADP-API-Key>

Get the API key from My MCP in the ADP console.
Each API key is bound to one user and can access only that user’s applications and data.
The API key is used only for authentication and does not appear in request or response bodies.

FAQ

Why are some card tools missing after MCP connects?

The tool list is generated dynamically based on applications initialized for the current user. On first connection, the system initializes all out-of-the-box applications. Refresh the tool list after initialization.

Why does a card tool return document extraction failed?

Make sure the uploaded file matches the tool type. For example, use extract_id_card for ID card images, not extract_vehicle_cert. The file must be a supported image or PDF.

How do I handle timeouts?

The default timeout is 300 seconds. You can set timeout_seconds up to 900 seconds. For large or complex documents, use wait=false and query the result with task_id.

How is MCP different from ADP CLI and OpenAPI?

They provide equivalent capabilities but use different integration methods.

Method	Best for
MCP Server	AI clients such as Claude Desktop and Cursor. No code required.
ADP CLI	Terminal commands, script automation, and AI Skill integration.
OpenAPI	Business system integration and backend service calls.
