Xberg: Local Document Reading Tool for Agents Supporting 101 Formats
Goldziher · reddit · 2026-08-04
A developer has introduced Xberg, a local content intelligence framework (Rust core, MIT license) designed specifically for AI agents.
- Core Features: Callable as an MCP server or CLI, it extracts content from 101 document formats (plus code, data, audio/video, and URLs).
- Local Processing: Everything runs locally, ensuring no data leaves the machine.
- Intelligent Parsing: Reconstructs reading order and table layouts layout-aware, and chunks content for context windows.
- OCR Capabilities: Ships with multiple OCR engines, leading in quality and table fidelity for native PDFs.
Agents can use extract / extractbatch tools to read documents themselves, eliminating hand-preprocessing. It works with any MCP-compatible harness.
