Implementation Reference
- pdfco/mcp/tools/apis/extraction.py:8-29 (handler)The core handler function for the 'ai_invoice_parser' tool, registered via @mcp.tool() decorator. Defines input schema (url and optional api_key) using Pydantic Field for descriptions and validation. Prepares ConversionParams and delegates to parse_invoice helper for API execution.
