About the AWS Textract MCP server

Connect AWS Textract once in Activepieces and every action it ships becomes a tool your assistant can call, behind the same server URL as the rest of your apps. Your agent reaches AWS Textract and 760+ other apps over a single connection, on our cloud or a self-hosted install.

Tools

AWS Textract tools your AI can run

Once connected, your assistant can call any of these AWS Textract actions by asking in plain language.

  • Analyze Document

    Extract text, forms (key-value pairs), tables, and signatures from a document. Supports JPEG, PNG, and single-page PDF or TIFF, uploaded directly or from S3. For multi-page PDFs, use Analyze Document from S3 (Multi-Page) instead.

    4 fields

  • Detect Document Text

    Extract plain text from a document. Faster and cheaper than Analyze Document — use this when you only need the text content without forms or tables. Supports JPEG, PNG, and single-page PDF or TIFF, uploaded directly or from S3.

    2 fields

  • Analyze Expense

    Extract structured data from receipts and invoices: vendor name, totals, tax, line items, and more. Works best with clearly formatted receipts and invoices.

    2 fields

  • Analyze ID Document

    Extract structured data from identity documents such as driver's licenses and passports. Returns fields like name, date of birth, ID number, and expiry date.

    2 fields

  • Analyze Document from S3 (Multi-Page)

    Extract text, forms, tables, and signatures from a PDF or TIFF stored in S3. Works with both single-page and multi-page documents. This action waits for processing to finish and returns all results automatically — no extra steps needed.

Give your assistant AWS Textract

Connect AWS Textract once and every tool above is callable from Claude, Cursor or any MCP client, behind the same server URL as 760+ other apps. Free to start.

AWS Textract MCP, answered.

No. That is the point of it. One Activepieces server exposes AWS Textract alongside every other piece you connect, so your client keeps a single connection.

Yes. Activepieces is open source and free to start, and the MCP server is included on every plan, from the free cloud tier to any self-hosted deployment.

Connect AWS Textract in Activepieces, enable the server under Settings → MCP Server, then paste your server URL into your client config. It authenticates over OAuth on first use.

It can call 5 tools, including Analyze Document, Detect Document Text, Analyze Expense, and chain them with steps in other apps inside the same run.

Connections use OAuth2 with limited scopes and are stored under 256-bit encryption, with no API to read them back, so an agent gets scoped access rather than your keys.
