Tools

Extracts text and tables from PDFs; merges, splits and rotates pages, adds watermarks, fills forms and OCRs scanned documents. The official Anthropic skill behind Claude's document features; source-available, not open source.

Reads messy invoices and receipts (PDFs, scans, screenshots), extracts vendor, date and amount, renames and files them by vendor, category or year, keeps originals and can export a CSV for your accountant. Needs an agent with local file access; no account required.

Free, open-source offline OCR desktop app for screenshots, batch images, scanned PDFs and QR codes, callable via the umi-ocr CLI or an HTTP API (the CLI relies on the app's local HTTP service, on by default). Windows and Linux only.

Adds a searchable, copyable text layer to scanned PDFs, with automatic deskew, rotation and size optimization, outputting PDF/A by default. Built on Tesseract, supports 100+ languages and runs fully locally.

Anthropic's official small-business skill for bills: reads vendor, amount and due date from email, PDFs or photos, dedupes, codes to accounts, matches POs and drafts a payment plan. Posting and paying each need approval; it never auto-pays. Works with QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite or file export.

Recognizes images or whole PDFs (including scans) with math formulas and tables into Markdown and LaTeX, strong on English and Chinese and supporting 80+ languages, handy for digitizing exams, lecture notes and study notes. An open-source Mathpix alternative that runs locally with Python.

Extracts issuer, amount, date, invoice number and other fields from PDF invoices using YAML/JSON templates, exporting CSV, JSON or XML. Ships several text-extraction backends, OCR for scanned invoices and an optional AI fallback.

Converts PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, EPUB, web pages and images to clean Markdown locally, keeping page anchors, tables and two-column reading order, with full-text search across folders. Formerly pdf-reader-mcp; no uploads, no API key. Needs Node.js 18+; OCR for scans needs tesseract.

Describe what you need and get a typeset PDF: turn handwritten notes or scanned textbooks into LaTeX handouts and cheat sheets, make exams with answer keys, write papers, theses, posters, resumes and letters. 27 templates plus chart and mail-merge scripts. Needs TeX Live (install script included).

Turns web pages, long PDFs, Word files, images or code into tutor-style study notes: Markdown notes plus searchable HTML knowledge cards with concept breakdowns and mind maps. Needs Python 3.8+, plus Chrome for some sites; the optional tutor chat needs an OpenAI-compatible API key.

Official MCP from Nutrient (formerly PSPDFKit): merge PDFs, convert between Office and PDF, OCR, watermark, redact personal data, add digital signatures, and extract fields from invoices and contracts. Files are processed in Nutrient's cloud; needs a free account (page-based credits) and Node.js.
