Unstructured Transform MCP.

Unstructured Transform MCP. Give your agents any file: introducing Unstructured Transform MCP. Jul 9, 2026 Unstructured Your agent meets a document mid-task. Today it has three bad paths from here. It hallucinates from its built-in vision capabilities and hopes the table cells line up. It calls a generic parser package and trusts the output is good enough. Or it claims success and you find out two turns later when half the line items are missing. None of these paths gets you to reliable structured data, and most quietly fail on the files you didn't anticipate. And meanwhile, every retry, every cleanup pass, every "let me look at that again" burns through your token budget. Or before any of this, you stopped building the agent to figure out the pipeline first. What if somebody has already done the job of figuring it out? These aren't new problems. Earnings decks with embedded charts. Scanned contracts with handwritten margin notes. Invoice formats no two vendors agree on. Unstructured Technologies Inc. has spent years figuring out what to do with any of them. From today, that expertise now lives in your agent's toolset. Unstructured Technologies Inc. is introducing Unstructured Transform MCP, document processing your agent can call as a tool. This used to be something you built around your agent. Now it's callable as MCP tools in any client that speaks the protocol. Add Transform to your AI tool. Authenticate once in your browser. The tools are live on your agent's next message. See the quickstart for the specifics of your client. A walkthrough. Open Claude Code (or Codex, or Cursor, or any MCP-compliant client). Connect your AI tool to Unstructured Transform MCP, authenticate once in your browser, and the tools are live on your agent's next message. You're working on an invoice reconciliation agent. Twelve invoices sit in ~/data/invoices/. A JSON file of purchase orders sits at ~/data/pos.json. You prompt: "I have invoices in ~/data/invoices/ and POs in ~/data/pos.json. Find any mismatches in totals or line items." The agent decides to call Unstructured Transform MCP. You watch the tool calls happen in your session: Behind the scenes, each file got the parsing strategy that fit its shape. Layout-heavy invoices got layout-aware extraction. Tables came back as structured tables. The agent didn't need to know which method handled which file. It described what it wanted, and the right approach ran. The parsed output lands in the agent's context: text, tables, and structure intact. The agent reads each invoice, pulls vendor and total from the structured tables, joins it against your pos.json file via its filesystem tool, and reports back: three invoices have totals that don't match their POs. It writes the discrepancies to ~/reports/mismatches.csv and offers to draft the vendor follow-ups. The whole loop ran inside Claude Code, and you never opened a browser tab. Your agent learned Unstructured Transform MCP on its own. Documentation ships with the tool, and the agent reads it the way it reads any other docs. It composed one call that carried everything: the files and the data it wanted back. Unstructured Transform MCP handled the strategy underneath. Why it's different. There are plenty of ways to give your agent document processing today. Notebook scripts copied from a tutorial. Parser APIs you wrap into a custom tool. Frontier model vision that hallucinates quietly on every fifth invoice. Most leave your agent with a plausible-looking pipeline that's hard to trust. Unstructured Transform MCP is different on four components. Composable. Output drops into your agent's next reasoning step. Parse 12 invoices, match them against your purchase orders, write the mismatches to a CSV, all in one session. Your agent doesn't switch contexts to use Transform. Unstructured Transform MCP fits inside the loop your agent already runs. Inspectable. Every tool call is visible in your session. Every parameter the agent picked is visible. When the agent decides a file needs deeper parsing, you see that decision and why. Reproducible. Every tool call captures the exact file, parameters, and pipeline settings. The workflow your agent ran at prototype is the workflow that runs at scale. Same workflow payload, same job behavior, same output shape, whether you're testing one file or processing a million. Portable. The runnable code that Transform produced is yours when you want it. Drop it into your scheduler, your CI, your backend service. Validate in the agent's loop, ship in production. Know your agents are getting the best parsing and extraction in the world. Unstructured Transform MCP handles 60+ file types: PDFs, emails, images, scanned docs, spreadsheets, presentations. Every one runs through the same Unstructured extraction pipelines ranked #1 on text accuracy, hallucination control, table cell content, and table cell position across 1,000+ pages of real enterprise documents. Those four dimensions matter because wrong extraction very easily transforms from a data quality problem into a trust problem. Wrong text in a document means wrong answers from your AI. A hallucinated figure that looks right is worse than a gap. A number in the wrong table cell can move from a formatting error to a bad decision. These are the failure modes that end AI programmes. Unstructured ranks #1 on all four. Unstructured also outperforms off-the-shelf frontier models on the same benchmark. Unstructured Technologies Inc. wrote about that separately: the frontier is strong on a lot of things, but document parsing is harder than it looks. The tool surface is new. The engine behind it has years of document AI research, continuously evaluated against SCORE-Bench, its open document parsing benchmark. What developers are using it for. * A team replacing a brittle homegrown PDF pipeline that breaks every time a vendor changes their invoice template * An engineer building a RAG agent who needs documents chunked and embedded into their vector store, mid-build * A developer pointing their agent at a thousand documents on their desktop and getting back parsed output file by file * A team parsing patents, financial statements, or biological science papers with their tables and layout intact In each case, the half-day spent picking the right approach becomes a tool call. The agent picks the workflow. The run happens on your real file. The structured output lands in the agent's next step. From install to structured data in three minutes. Add Unstructured Transform MCP to your agent. Hand it a document from your hardest corpus. Watch your agent pick the approach, call Unstructured, and continue the work with structured output in hand. 15,000 pages free every month, $0.03 per page after that. Three minutes from install to structured data. Try it on your hardest files and tell Unstructured Technologies Inc. if Unstructured Technologies Inc. got it right.

Unstructured partners with Teradata to embed AI data processing natively in Enterprise Vector Store

Unstructured has partnered with Teradata to embed its data processing platform natively inside Teradata Enterprise Vector Store, enabling enterprises to transform unstructured content into AI-ready data without external tools. The integration will be available to eligible Teradata customers from April 2026. The partnership allows automatic ingestion and processing of documents, PDFs, images, video and audio directly within Teradata Enterprise Vector Store. Unstructured's preprocessing capabilities support over 70 file types, converting them into structured data and embeddings whilst maintaining the same governance and security standards as Teradata's structured analytics. The integration addresses a critical challenge, as roughly 80% of enterprise data exists in formats AI systems cannot natively use. It supports hybrid deployment across AWS, Azure, GCP, on-premises and air-gapped environments, particularly benefiting regulated industries like financial services, healthcare and government.

Unstructured Secures FedRAMP High Authorization to Deliver AI-Ready Data to Federal Agencies and Partners

Unstructured secures FedRAMP High authorization to deliver ai-ready data to federal agencies and partners. SACRAMENTO, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Unstructured, the leader in AI-ready data orchestration, today announced it has achieved FedRAMP High authorization. This milestone affirms Unstructured's commitment to delivering secure, scalable, and mission-ready solutions to US government agencies and industry partners, including those with the most stringent data security and compliance requirements. With this authorization, Unstructured becomes one of the few AI infrastructure companies authorized to operate at the FedRAMP High baseline. "FedRAMP High is more than a compliance milestone - it's our gateway to accelerating outcomes and unlocking data preparation cost savings for our public sector customers and partners," said Brian Raymond, Founder and CEO of Unstructured. "With this authorization, government users and industry partners can deploy Unstructured's enterprise-grade solution to get their data AI-ready and focus on delivering production-ready AI applications at scale." Government and industry partners are no longer just experimenting with GenAI - they're building real systems. But when it is time to move from pilot to production, most efforts hit a wall: brittle GenAI data pipelines, modality-specific workarounds, and fragmented architectures that can't adapt as models, file types, modalities or downstream systems evolve. Rather than rebuilding custom data pipelines for every GenAI use case, agencies and integrators can rely on Unstructured's Platform: a modular, enterprise-grade solution purpose-built to extract, transform, enrich, chunk, embed, and deliver AI-ready data - no matter the source or destination. It supports diverse modalities out of the box, works with any model or data store (vector, relational, etc.), and is now accessible in highly secure environments. Unstructured also helps reduce infrastructure and processing costs by intelligently adapting its transformation pipeline to the characteristics of each file - maximizing performance while minimizing costs where possible. Unstructured delivers the production-ready data layer that every GenAI application needs - so teams can focus on building outcomes, not maintaining open-source data pipelines. Unstructured's open source is already widely adopted across the federal government, powering tools like NIPRGPT, CamoGPT, and other systems within the military, national security, federal civilian, and even state and local governments. With the FedRAMP High authorized Platform, government users and industry partners can now operationalize these capabilities at enterprise scale - supported by full end-to-end orchestration across ingestion, transformation, enrichment, and delivery. "Our open-source tools have helped federal teams experiment with LLMs using unstructured data," said Raymond. "Now, with FedRAMP High authorization of our GenAI data orchestration platform, agencies can move beyond experimentation - deploying a secure, production-ready data platform to scale GenAI applications with confidence." About Unstructured Unstructured delivers mission-ready data transformation and orchestration solutions that turn unstructured, multimodal content into AI-ready data at scale. Its modular open platform eliminates the brittleness and high costs of traditional data engineering pipelines, enabling government and commercial organizations to rapidly build and deploy GenAI applications.
