🪙 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:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pennyocr": {
      "url": "https://mcp.pennyocr.com",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer pk_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

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

Tools

Tool	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
`check_balance`	`{}`	remaining credits + free-tier allowance — 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.

Transport

Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0 over POST), stateless. This repo is the complete server — a single Cloudflare Worker (worker.js) proxying the PennyOCR API.

Pricing: $0.75 per 1,000 pages · pennyocr.com/pricing.txt · Agent onboarding: pennyocr.com/llms.txt
