Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Receipt Scanner every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
expense
expense_add
Record one expense and return its id, its net/VAT split and its billable flag. The response states every default that was applied, so the caller can see what was assumed rather than having to guess.
expense_delete
Delete one expense by id and report what went. The receipt FILE stays on disk. Deleting a rebilled expense loses the record of what an invoice charged, so correct it with expense_update instead.
expense_export
Export the expenses in a date range as csv, xlsx or json and return a download link that is valid for one hour. Nothing partial is ever written: if a limit is hit no file is produced at all.
expense_list
List expenses in a date range with each one's net/VAT split, category, merchant, project and billable flag, plus a total per currency. Free reads the last 30 days and says when your range predates it.
expense_mark_rebilled
Mark expenses as rebilled once the invoice that carries them actually exists. Pass the expense_ids of one currency group from expense_to_invoice, or that project, date range and currency. Returns what was marked.
expense_settings
Read or set the defaults expense_add uses when a call does not name them: default_vat_rate and default_currency. Returns the stored defaults. Call with no arguments to read them without changing anything.
expense_summary
Totals for a date range grouped by category, project, month or merchant, per currency with gross, net and VAT, never mixed. Receipts only; bank transactions are totalled by bank-statement's statement_summary.
expense_to_invoice
Preview the unbilled billable expenses of one project as invoice_create line items (description, quantity, unit_price, tax_rate), grouped per currency. Read-only: nothing is marked rebilled here.
expense_update
Change one expense by id; only the fields you pass move. amount is in MAJOR units. A rebilled expense refuses an amount, currency or vat_rate edit unless unlink_rebill drops the invoice link.
license
license_activate
Turn Pro on for this connection with key, an MCPL1.<payload>.<signature> issued at checkout for this server or the bundle. Data under your token stays; a wrong or expired key changes nothing. license_status confirms it.
license_status
Report this endpoint's licence state for your token as JSON: the product, the tier free or pro, why it is not Pro, and the checkout URL. Call it to explain a free-tier refusal. No arguments, nothing changes.
category
category_rules
Replace the merchant-to-category rules, or call with no rules to list them. Returns the stored rule list. The rules are applied by expense_add whenever a call gives no category of its own.
mileage
mileage_add
Record a business trip as an expense, priced as distance x rate. Give exactly one of km or miles. Returns the saved id with the rate used, where that rate came from and the money, in the rate's own currency.
receipt
receipt_attach
Not available on the hosted endpoint: it has no filesystem, so there is no receipt file to read or hash. Attach receipts on a local install instead - download expense-tracker.mcpb from https://github.com/theluckystrike/mcp-servers/releases/latest and open it in Claude Desktop - or record the receipt reference in the expense note.

Receipt Scanner — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can Receipt Scanner do?
It exposes 14 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: category_rules, expense_add, expense_delete, expense_export, expense_list, expense_mark_rebilled and 8 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README.
How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is Receipt Scanner mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around expense and license. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Receipt Scanner working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 140 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Receipt Scanner?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Receipt Scanner need an API key?
No. Receipt Scanner completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 14 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Receipt Scanner?
It answers our handshake in 140 ms on average, which is faster than 77% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Receipt Scanner open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 2 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
