space-ocr-mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for space-ocr — structured OCR with verified per-character bounding boxes.

Why

Unlike calling Gemini/GPT-4V directly, space-ocr re-anchors LLM output to real Google Vision API symbols, so bounding boxes are not hallucinated. AI agents that act on the extracted data (auto-fill, verification UI, accounting reconciliation) can trust the coordinates.
