What this server can do

6 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.

create_api_key(email)
Provision a new Auto-Reader OCR API key instantly, with no human steps. Pass an optional email to unlock the larger free tier (about 250 credits/day, vs about 25/day for an email-less trial key). Store the returned key and pass it as api_key on future calls.
extract_document(lang, preset, schema, api_key, image_base64)
Extract STRUCTURED FIELDS from a document image: invoices, receipts, ID cards — or any custom JSON schema you supply. Every field returns {value, confidence, box} where the confidence and box come from the OCR geometry (never model guesswork); absent fields are null. preset="zatca" additionally decodes the Saudi ZATCA e-invoice QR (TLV) and cross-validates it against the printed fields — use it for Saudi tax invoices. Arabic-first accuracy. 5 credits/page (zatca 7). Required: image_base64.
get_usage(api_key)
Check your Auto-Reader OCR key: tier, remaining daily free credits, prepaid credit balance, subscription allowance, and per-minute rate limit. Use it to throttle yourself before hitting a limit.
ocr_and_translate(api_key, target_lang, image_base64)
One call: OCR an image, then translate every line into target_lang. Arabic-first OCR and manga-aware Japanese with right-to-left-aware layout, followed by LLM translation. Automatic source-language detection. Provide the image as base64. Ideal for reading foreign documents, signs, manga, or receipts end-to-end in a single step. Required: image_base64, target_lang.
ocr_image(lang, mode, api_key, image_base64)
Extract text from an image with GPU OCR. Best-in-class Arabic (plus Persian/Urdu) accuracy, manga-aware vertical Japanese, and strong English, French, Spanish, German, Chinese, Korean, Russian, Italian and Portuguese — 13+ languages. Automatic language and script detection with lang="auto". Returns reading-order layout text (right-to-left aware, paragraph-gapped) that is ready to feed an LLM or show a human, plus the detected language, the engine used, and the number of text blocks found. Provide the image as base64. Use the mode hint (document | receipt | manga | scene) to tune detection. Required: image_base64.
translate_text(text, api_key, context, formality, target_lang)
Translate text between 13+ languages with an LLM. Arabic-first quality, with formality control (formal/informal) and optional context to disambiguate meaning. Handles both short dictionary-style word lookups and full documents. Returns the translation and, when available, alternative phrasings. Required: text, target_lang.

Signals

These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.

These share tags the maintainers applied themselves, such as invoice, pdf, ocr, translation. Common tags like "mcp" or "ai" are ignored for this: agreeing with six hundred other projects is not a similarity.

This is not a recommendation and not a test result. It is a map of what the authors said their work is about.
