ReceiptsAPI MCP Server
Use ReceiptsAPI directly inside Claude Desktop and any MCP-compatible AI client.
Parse receipts, invoices, and documents without leaving your AI assistant.
What it does
Gives your AI assistant three tools:
Tool | Description |
| Extract structured data from a receipt or invoice (merchant, totals, line items, date, payment method) |
| Extract data from any document — invoice, ID, contract, form. Optionally specify exact fields. |
| Check your monthly usage and remaining quota |
