Extract specific information from text using the configured model route via Cercano. Returns only the relevant sections matching your query. Use this to pull function signatures, error messages, config values, API endpoints, or other targeted information from large text without placing the entire input into the host conversation.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Cercano Extract

Extract targeted information from text using the configured model route.

## Important: Display the result

MCP tool results may not be visible to the user in the terminal. After calling the tool, you MUST output the full tool result text verbatim in your response so the user can see it.

## Routing and data handling

Saved task routing and redirects determine local or cloud execution. Tool names
do not enforce locality, privacy, cost, or latency. Verify the selected destination
before supplying sensitive input; web research also contacts external search and
page servers. Model output and confidence are not independent verification.

## MCP Tool

**Tool name:** `cercano_extract`

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `text` | string | Yes | The text to search through and extract information from. |
| `query` | string | Yes | What to find or extract (e.g. `"error messages"`, `"function signatures"`, `"config values"`). |

## Examples

**Extract error messages from logs:**
```json
{

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cercano-ai/cercano/cercano-extract@sha256:a06a292441600c49

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.295d5be, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
