Recite MCP
This server connects Claude to the Recite receipt processing API and maintains a local ledger for bookkeeping workflows. You get 41 API tools covering scans (file, URL, or base64), transactions with filters, batch processing for up to 20 receipts at once, webhook subscriptions for async job completion, reconciliation links and auto-matching, vendor and category management, and CSV/JSON exports. The local tools let you scan directly into a ledger file, process entire directories of receipts, store agent instructions in persistent memory, and run dry-run previews before committing changes. Useful if you're building an expense tracking agent that needs both cloud OCR and local-first data control. Requires an API key from recite.rivra.dev, which includes 30 free scans monthly.

Required Environment
Get an API key at https://recite.rivra.dev/settings/api (includes 30 free scans per month), then set RECITE_API_KEY (required to process receipts; server can still start without it so validate_setup() can report what's missing):
# Windows PowerShell
$env:RECITE_API_KEY="re_live_xxx"
# macOS/Linux
export RECITE_API_KEY="re_live_xxx"
Optional home override:
# Windows PowerShell
$env:RECITE_HOME="C:\path\to\recite-home"
