> [!NOTE]
> This is not an official Rossum project. It is a community-developed integration built on top of the Rossum API, not a product (yet).

## Quick Start

```bash
# Set environment variables
export ROSSUM_API_TOKEN="your-api-token"
export ROSSUM_API_BASE_URL="https://api.elis.rossum.ai/v1"

# Run the MCP server
uv pip install rossum-mcp
rossum-mcp
```

Or run from source:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/stancld/rossum-agents.git
cd rossum-agents/rossum-mcp
uv sync
python rossum_mcp/server.py
```

## Claude Desktop Configuration

Configure Claude Desktop (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` on Mac):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rossum": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/path/to/rossum-mcp/rossum-mcp/rossum_mcp/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "ROSSUM_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token",
        "ROSSUM_API_BASE_URL": "https://api.elis.rossum.ai/v1",
        "ROSSUM_MCP_MODE": "read-write"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Environment Variables

| Variable | Required | Description |
|----------|----------|-------------|
| `ROSSUM_API_TOKEN` | Yes | Your Rossum API authentication token |
| `ROSSUM_API_BASE_URL` | Yes | Base URL for the Rossum API |
| `ROSSUM_MCP_MODE` | No | `read-write` (default) or `read-only` |

### Read-Only Mode

Set `ROSSUM_MCP_MODE=read-only` to disable all CREATE, UPDATE, and UPLOAD operations. Only GET and LIST operations will be available.

### Runtime Mode Switching

Two tools allow dynamic mode control:

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `get_mcp_mode` | Returns current operation mode (`read-only` or `read-write`) |
| `set_mcp_mode` | Switches between modes at runtime |

**Use case:** Start in read-only mode for safe exploration, then switch to read-write when ready to make changes.

```
User: What mode are we in?
Assistant: [calls get_mcp_mode] → "read-only"

User: I'm ready to update the schema now.
Assistant: [calls set_mcp_mode("read-write")] → Mode switched to read-write
           [calls update_schema(...)]
```

## Example Workflows

### Upload and Monitor

```python
# 1. Upload document
upload_document(file_path="/path/to/invoice.pdf", queue_id=12345)

# 2. Get annotation ID
annotations = list_annotations(queue_id=12345)

# 3. Check status
annotation = get_annotation(annotation_id=annotations[0].id)
```

### Update Fields

```python
# 1. Start annotation (moves to 'reviewing')
start_annotation(annotation_id=12345)

# 2. Get content with field IDs
annotation = get_annotation(annotation_id=12345, sideloads=['content'])

# 3. Update fields using datapoint IDs
bulk_update_annotation_fields(
    annotation_id=12345,
    operations=[{"op": "replace", "id": 67890, "value": {"content": {"value": "INV-001"}}}]
)

# 4. Confirm
confirm_annotation(annotation_id=12345)
```
