receiptconverter-mcp

MCP server for ReceiptConverter — parse any receipt or invoice into structured JSON with a single tool call.

Connects Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and any Model Context Protocol client directly to the ReceiptConverter API. No HTTP setup required — just drop in your API key and your AI assistant can scan receipts natively.

Quick start

1. Get an API key

Sign in at receiptconverter.com, open Dashboard → API Keys, and generate a key.

2. Add to Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "receiptconverter": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["receiptconverter-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "RECEIPTCONVERTER_API_KEY": "sk_live_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude. You'll see receiptconverter appear in the tools panel.

3. Add to Cursor

Open Cursor Settings → MCP and add:

{
  "receiptconverter": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["receiptconverter-mcp"],
    "env": {
      "RECEIPTCONVERTER_API_KEY": "sk_live_your_key_here"
