🪙 PennyOCR MCP server

A remote Model Context Protocol server that gives any agent document-reading eyes: PDFs and images by URL → markdown (tables preserved) or plain text, with exact cost reporting and hard spend caps.

Hosted at https://mcp.pennyocr.com — nothing to install:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pennyocr": {
      "url": "https://mcp.pennyocr.com",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer pk_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

Keys are free (first 100 pages free) at pennyocr.com/dashboard. Clients that can't set headers: https://mcp.pennyocr.com/?key=pk_live_...

read_document

{url, pages?, output?, max_pages?, max_cost_usd?}

{content, pages, cost_usd, citations[]}

estimate_cost

{url, pages?}

page count + exact cost — free

check_balance

{}

remaining credits + free-tier allowance — free

The cost caps refuse before any processing, with the numbers — so autonomous agents can reason about spend ("200 pages, $0.15 — proceed") and can never run past a prepaid balance.
