# Unstructured Transform MCP server installation for Gumloop

> Learn how to connect the Unstructured Transform MCP server to Gumloop. Your Gumloop agents and workflows can then turn your files into partitioned, enriched, chunked, and embedded data in minutes.

## Requirements

Before you begin, you must have the following:

* A Gumloop account. [Sign in to Gumloop](https://www.gumloop.com) or [sign up for Gumloop](https://www.gumloop.com). The free tier is enough to connect and try Transform.

## Install the Transform MCP server

Transform connects to Gumloop as a custom MCP server. You sign in with your Unstructured account through OAuth, so there is no key to paste.

1. Go to your Gumloop [Connectors](https://www.gumloop.com/personal/connectors) page.
2. Click **Add Connector**, search for `mcp server`, and then, next to **MCP Server**, click **Add**.
3. In the **Connect MCP Server** dialog, for **MCP Server URL**, enter `https://mcp.transform.unstructured.io/`.
4. Click **Connect**. When prompted, sign in with your Unstructured account to authorize the connection.
5. The connector shows **Connected** as a custom MCP. Transform is ready for your agents and workflows.

To confirm the connection, add an **Agent** node, attach **Transform**, and ask it to list available tools. If Transform's tools do not appear, click **Refresh** next to the connector to refresh the list.

## Parse your source files

Parsing requests have the following limits:

* Each file must be of a [supported file type](/transform/supported-file-types).
* Each file must be 50 MB or less in size.
* Each request must have 10 files or fewer.
* Only 5 requests can be running at a time.

To parse files with Transform in a Gumloop agent:

1. In a Gumloop workflow, add an **Agent** node, and then attach the **Transform** connector to it.

2. Enter a prompt that tells the agent to parse a file. For example:

   ```text theme={null}
   Use Transform to parse this PDF at https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tests/xhtml/testfiles/resources/pdf/dummy.pdf and return the elements as structured data.
   ```

3. The agent calls Transform, waits for the job to finish, and returns the structured output. Route this output into a spreadsheet, database, or vector store downstream.

## Next steps

* [Control Transform file parsing output](/transform/output): Control how the Unstructured Transform MCP server instructs Transform to partition, enrich, chunk, and embed the data based on your files.
* [Control Transform generated sample code](/transform/code): Control how the Unstructured Transform MCP server generates sample curl or Python code that demonstrates how to use Transform to partition, enrich, chunk, and embed the data based on your files.
