Kelnix Receipt Mcp Api

🧾 Kelnix Receipt MCP API

Turn any receipt into structured, accounting-ready JSON with one API call. AI vision extracts everything — merchant, date, line items, tax, totals — and suggests GL accounts for instant bookkeeping.

Built for AI agents that automate expense management, accounts payable, and bookkeeping. No dashboard, no login — just an API that speaks MCP.

🎁 50 free credits on signup. No credit card required.
