See CLI usage guide for detailed documentation.
Docker
docker pull ghcr.io/xberg-io/xberg:latest
Run in API, CLI, or MCP modes. See Docker guide for examples.
REST API Server
xberg serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
One POST endpoint handles all formats. Returns JSON or Markdown. Stream large files. See API server guide.
MCP Server
xberg mcp --transport stdio
9 tools (extract, extract_batch, detect_mime_type, cache_stats, list_formats, cache_clear, get_version, cache_manifest, cache_warm). 3 prompts (extract_document, extract_with_ocr, semantic_search). 4 resources (formats, models, OCR languages, embedding presets).
Add to Claude Desktop or Cursor:
{
"mcpServers": {
"xberg": { "command": "xberg", "args": ["mcp"] }
}
}
Quick Start
Extract text from a document:
use xberg::{extract, ExtractInput, ExtractionConfig};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> xberg::Result<()> {
let config = ExtractionConfig::default();
let output = extract(
ExtractInput::from_uri("document.pdf"),
&config
).await?;
println!("{}", output.results[0].content);
Ok(())
}
Common use cases — see Quick start guide for language-specific examples, OCR, batch processing, and API configuration.
