CLI + MCP: Document extraction pipelines for batch jobs and AI agents

Why do CLI and MCP keep coming up together?

The CLI has long been how developers prefer to work with products directly. It’s fast, scriptable, and built for automation.

AI agents are now reshaping how that work gets done, but not by replacing the CLI. What we see today is a clear split: the CLI still runs the batch jobs, scheduled scripts and repeatable workflows, while agents handle on-demand, one-off requests at runtime through MCP.

The developer toolkit hasn’t changed. It’s grown. In our upcoming webinar, we explore both pathways for document extraction, when to use each, and how Unstract supports them.

If you’re building extraction pipelines and want to stay ahead in the age of AI agents, this session is for you.

What we’ll cover:

• What to weigh when choosing between CLI and MCP for real extraction jobs
• Building an extraction project in Unstract, with built-in features for cost control, accuracy and human review
• Live demo: one Unstract project run as a CLI batch job and through MCP on demand, across different use cases
• Live Q&A with our experts
