π§Ύ Kelnix Receipt MCP API
Turn any receipt into structured, accounting-ready JSON with one API call. AI vision extracts everything β merchant, date, line items, tax, totals β and suggests GL accounts for instant bookkeeping.
Built for AI agents that automate expense management, accounts payable, and bookkeeping. No dashboard, no login β just an API that speaks MCP.
π 50 free credits on signup. No credit card required.
