OCR Text Extraction API

br0ski777/ocr-extract-x402

Pulls text out of images using Tesseract OCR and exposes it through an MCP interface. The server runs as a remote service over SSE transport and uses x402 micropayments, so you'll need to handle payment integration if you're building something commercial. The GitHub repo is pretty bare, just TypeScript source and config files, so expect to dig into the code if you need to understand exactly what OCR options or image formats it supports. Reach for this when you need Claude to read text from screenshots, scanned documents, or photos without running Tesseract locally. The hosted API at klymax402.com means you skip the setup hassle, but you're trading that convenience for per-use costs and dependency on an external service.
