Original README from kelnixsolutions/Kelnix-Receipt-MCP-API
Turn any receipt into structured, accounting-ready JSON with one API call. AI vision extracts everything — merchant, date, line items, tax, totals — and suggests GL accounts for instant bookkeeping.
Built for AI agents that automate expense management, accounts payable, and bookkeeping. No dashboard, no login — just an API that speaks MCP.
