MinerU PDF Parser

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

This instruction-only skill coherently uses MinerU’s API to parse documents, but it requires a MinerU token and sends selected document content or URLs to an external service.

This looks like a straightforward instruction-only API workflow. Install/use it only if you are comfortable providing a MinerU API token and sending the chosen documents or URLs to MinerU for processing; avoid submitting confidential files unless you have reviewed the provider’s privacy and retention practices.

What this means

Anyone or any process with access to that token may be able to use the user’s MinerU API quota or account permissions.

Why it was flagged

The skill relies on a MinerU bearer token and recommends storing it as an environment variable. This is purpose-aligned for calling the MinerU API, but it is still an account credential that should be protected.

Skill content
Authorization: Bearer $MINERU_TOKEN ... export MINERU_TOKEN="your_api_key_here"
Recommendation

Use a MinerU token with the minimum needed permissions if available, keep it out of shared files/logs, and rotate it if it may have been exposed.

What this means

Private PDFs, Office files, images, or document URLs submitted for parsing may be processed and stored according to MinerU’s service policies.

Why it was flagged

The workflow sends document URLs and, for batch parsing, uploads files to MinerU-provided presigned URLs. This is central to the skill’s document-parsing purpose, but it means selected documents leave the local environment.

Skill content
curl -X POST "https://mineru.net/api/v4/extract/task" ... "url": "https://arxiv.org/pdf/2410.17247" ... 上传文件到返回的 presigned URLs
Recommendation

Before using the skill on sensitive documents, review MinerU’s privacy/retention terms and only submit files you are comfortable sending to that external service.
