Receiptconverter

MCP server for ReceiptConverter — parse any receipt or invoice into structured JSON with a single tool call.

Connects Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and any Model Context Protocol client directly to the ReceiptConverter API. No HTTP setup required — just drop in your API key and your AI assistant can scan receipts natively.
