Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Invoice Parser MCPextract the vendor, items, and total from invoice.pdf"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Invoice Parser MCP
Parse invoices, receipts, and financial documents into structured JSON — from your AI agent.
Listed on: Glama · Smithery · mcp.so
Built for the Model Context Protocol. Powered by Claude Vision.
What it does
Extracts structured data from PDF invoices, scanned receipts, and image files. No templates, no OCR configuration — Claude Vision reads the document and returns clean JSON.

}extract_line_items
Lightweight extraction that returns only the itemized list. Faster and cheaper than parse_invoice when you only need the line items.
Parameters
Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| string | Yes | Absolute path to the invoice or receipt PDF or image. |
| string | No* | Your InvoiceParser API key. |
| string | No* | x402 payment proof (Base USDC tx hash). |
Example output
{
"ok": true,
"line_items": [
{ "description": "Widget A (x10)", "quantity": 10, "unit_price": 12.00, "total": 120.00 },
{ "description": "Widget B (x5)", "quantity": 5, "unit_price": 24.00, "total": 120.00 }
],
"item_count": 2
}extract_totals
Extract only the financial summary (subtotal, taxes, totals, due date) without parsing line items or vendor details.
Parameters
Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| string | Yes | Absolute path to the invoice or receipt PDF or image. |
| string | No* | Your InvoiceParser API key. |
| string | No* | x402 payment proof (Base USDC tx hash). |
Example output

}validate_invoice
Math validation tool. Verifies that line item totals equal quantity × unit_price, that the subtotal matches the sum of line items, that the tax calculation is consistent, and that the final total reconciles. Allows ±$0.02 rounding tolerance.

Deployment (Railway)
Fork this repo
Connect to Railway → New Project → Deploy from GitHub
Add environment variables:
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY— your Anthropic API keyINVOICEPARSER_DATA_DIR—/dataSTRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET— from Stripe dashboardSTRIPE_PRO_PRICE_ID— from Stripe dashboard
Add a persistent volume at
/dataDeploy
Running locally (optional maxproxy routing)
If you run the server on the same machine as a maxproxy instance on port 3456, you can route Claude Vision calls through it instead of hitting the Anthropic API directly:
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=maxproxy
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3456Leave ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL unset (or empty) in any cloud/Railway deployment — those environments cannot reach a local proxy.
