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

Input

Output

read_document

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

{content, pages, cost_usd, citations[]}

estimate_cost

{url, pages?}

page count + exact cost — 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.
