The receipt-parsing tool your agent can pay for itself
Agents that handle expenses, bookkeeping or claims need to read documents — and they shouldn't need you to provision API keys. ParseDoc is MCP-native and x402-native: the agent discovers the tool, pays $0.02 per page on-chain, and gets schema-validated JSON.
How it works
1. Add the MCP server
claude mcp add parsedoc -e X402_PRIVATE_KEY=0x... -- npx -y parsedoc-mcp — listed on the official MCP registry as com.wrapper-agency.parsedoc/parser.
2. Fund a wallet, not an account
Any EVM wallet holding USDC on Base. No signup, no key management, no invoices.
3. Parse with one tool call
parse_document({image_url|file_path|image_base64}) → full structured JSON with confidence.
Frequently asked questions
What if the agent has no wallet?
Omit the key and the free demo tier (3/day) is used — enough for the agent to prove the integration works.
Settlement guarantees?
x402 settles only on successful responses — failed parses cost nothing. Settlement is on Base; the facilitator handles verification.
Why not have the agent call a vision LLM raw?
Determinism. Agents need stable schemas to chain steps reliably; prose output breaks pipelines. ParseDoc guarantees the shape.
