Details
From the project READMETaggun MCP by usefulapi
Use Taggun from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — receipt OCR from a URL or base64 file and receipt-validation campaigns. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own Taggun credentials.
Live endpoint: https://taggun.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/taggun
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://taggun.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http taggun https://taggun.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"taggun": {
"url": "https://taggun.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Taggun credentials.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
