PennyOCR MCP MCP server

An official MCP server provided by PennyOCR that enables AI agents to extract text from documents such as PDFs, images, and scans. It supports reading documents with citation mapping to page numbers, estimating costs before processing, and handling various file formats like PNG, JPEG, and TIFF. The server integrates with Streamable HTTP and allows agents to make informed decisions about document processing based on exact pricing and page counts.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers a Streamable HTTP server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http pennyocr-mcp https://mcp.pennyocr.com

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
