kreuzberg-dev/kreuzberg
A polyglot document intelligence framework with a Rust core. Extract text, metadata, and structured information from PDFs, Office documents, images, and 76+ formats. Available for Rust, Python, Ruby, Java, Go, PHP, Elixir, C#, R, C, TypeScript (Node/Bun/Wasm/Deno)- or use via CLI, REST API, or MCP server.
Supports pluggable OCR backends (Tesseract, PaddleOCR, EasyOCR) and custom processors via a plugin API, enabling extensible extraction pipelines. Uses native PDFium with SIMD optimizations and streaming parsers to handle multi-GB files efficiently without GPU acceleration. Deployable as a library, CLI, REST API, or Claude MCP server, with precompiled binaries across x86_64/aarch64 on Linux/macOS and full WASM support for browser/edge environments.
