Extract text from images using OCR. Tesseract-powered. x402 micropayment.

Server endpointStreamable HTTPNo authProbed

Registry lists this as SSE; the live endpoint answered over Streamable HTTP.

This is the third-party server itself — Odel doesn't run it. Hitting this URL directly talks straight to the upstream server with no auth or proxying. Connect through Odel to front it with managed auth.

OCR Text Extraction API

MCP Server x402 License: MIT

Extract text from images using OCR. Supports URLs and base64 images. Pay-per-call via x402 (USDC on Base L2) -- no API key, no signup, no rate-limit wall.

Part of the klymax402 marketplace -- 100 x402 micropayment APIs for AI agents, one wallet, USDC on Base.

Quickstart -- MCP

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ElizaOS, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ocr-extract": {
      "url": "https://ocr-extract.api.klymax402.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Quickstart -- HTTP (x402)

curl -X POST "https://ocr-extract.api.klymax402.com/api/ocr" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'
# -> 402 Payment Required, with an x402 payment challenge in the response body

Any x402-aware client (@x402/fetch, x402-agent-tools, ATXP) handles the 402 -> sign -> retry cycle automatically.
