Parallel MCP server

Connect Parallel to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, GitHub Copilot and any other MCP client, for your whole team. Metorial adds security, governance, and tracing, and gives everyone one Magic MCP URL to connect.

What you can do with the Parallel MCP server

Ask your agent in plain language. Each of these maps to a real tool on the server.

  • Use the manage monitor tool in Parallel
  • Use the chat completion tool in Parallel
  • Use the find entities tool in Parallel
  • Use the extract content tool in Parallel
  • Use the get find all results tool in Parallel
  • Use the deep research tool in Parallel

Supported Tools

manage_monitor

Manage Monitor

Retrieve, update, or delete an existing web monitor. Can also list all monitors or fetch events for a specific monitor. Use the monitor ID from the **Create Monitor** tool.

chat_completion

Chat Completion

Send messages to Parallel's web-grounded chat completions API and receive AI responses with optional citations. Supports multiple models: **speed** for low-latency responses, and **lite**/**base**/**core** for deeper research with citations. Compatible with the OpenAI chat completions format.

find_entities

Find Entities

Discover entities (companies, people, products, etc.) matching specific criteria from web data. Uses Parallel's FindAll API to generate candidates, validate them against your conditions, and return matches. This is an asynchronous operation — returns a run ID. Use the **Get FindAll Results** tool to poll status and retrieve matched entities.

extract_content

Extract Content

Extract and retrieve content from specific URLs. Provide one or more URLs with an optional objective to focus extraction on relevant information. Returns excerpts and/or full content from the target pages.

get_findall_results

Get FindAll Results

Check the status of a FindAll entity discovery run and retrieve candidate results or an in-progress snapshot. Use the run ID returned by the **Find Entities** tool.

deep_research

Deep Research

Run a complex, multi-step web research task that autonomously searches, retrieves, reasons, and synthesizes information. Declare what information you need and the API orchestrates querying, ranking, retrieval, reasoning, validation, and synthesis. Returns a run ID that can be used with the **Get Task Run** tool to check status and retrieve results when complete.

create_monitor

Create Monitor

Create a web monitor that continuously tracks the web for changes relevant to a query on a configurable schedule. Monitors detect new information as it's published and can deliver results via webhooks.

get_task_run

Get Task Run

Check the status of a deep research task run and optionally retrieve its results when complete. Use the run ID returned by the **Deep Research** tool.

enrich_findall

Enrich FindAll

Add structured enrichment to a completed or running FindAll entity discovery run. Extracts additional fields from matched entities using a JSON schema you define. Enrichment runs asynchronously — results will be available when polling with the **Get FindAll Results** tool.

ingest_findall

Ingest FindAll Query

Convert a natural language objective into structured FindAll parameters. Parses the objective into an entity type and match conditions that can be used with the **Find Entities** tool. Use this to auto-generate the entityType and matchConditions from a plain-English query.

extend_findall

Extend FindAll Run

Increase an existing FindAll run match limit to discover more entities using the same criteria and enrichments. The additional limit is an increment, rather than a replacement total.

cancel_findall

Cancel FindAll Run

Stop an active entity discovery run to control further work and costs. Candidates already found remain available through Get FindAll Results.

get_findall_schema

Get FindAll Run Schema

Retrieve the objective, conditions, current match limit, generator, and configured enrichments of an existing FindAll run. Use this before extending a run or interpreting its candidate fields.

Connect Parallel to your AI client

Every client uses the same Magic MCP URL, and so does any other MCP client. Add it once and sign in with SSO.

  1. Enable Parallel in Metorial. In your Metorial portal, enable the Parallel MCP server and sign in with the account that owns the data. Access stays governed by your team policies.
  2. Add a custom connector. Open Customize, then Connectors. Select Add, then Custom, then Web.
  3. Paste your Metorial MCP URL. Name it Metorial, paste your Magic MCP URL (<your-magic-mcp-url>) and continue.
  4. Sign in. Select Add and sign in to load Parallel tools.

Run Parallel through the Metorial gateway

One governed layer for every app your agents reach, not a separate connector per tool.

  • Give Parallel and every other app to your whole team through one MCP gateway, behind your SSO.
  • Scope which teams and agents can use Parallel tools with role-based access control, and trace every call.
  • Prefer to run it yourself? Metorial is open source and self-hostable.
