Usage (Claude Desktop / MCP client)

{
 "mcpServers": {
 "invoice-parser": {

 }
}

Architecture

server.py โ€” MCP server (6 tools: parse_invoice, parse_receipt,
 extract_line_items, extract_totals, validate_invoice,
 export_to_csv)
auth.py โ€” API key validation + usage tracking (SQLite)
x402.py โ€” x402 micropayment verification (USDC on Base)
config.py โ€” Environment variable loading
worker.js โ€” Cloudflare Worker (remote proxy for MCP traffic)
data/keys.db โ€” API key store (created at runtime)
data/usage.db โ€” Monthly usage counters (created at runtime)
logs/ โ€” Structured log files
tests/ โ€” Unit tests (mock Vision API, no real documents needed)

Environment variables

Variable

Required

Description

ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

Yes

Anthropic API key for Claude Vision. Set to maxproxy for local proxy routing.

ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL

No

Override Anthropic base URL. Set to http://localhost:3456 when using maxproxy locally. Leave unset in cloud deployments.

CLAUDE_MODEL

No

Claude model ID. Defaults to claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022.

INVOICEPARSER_DATA_DIR

No

Directory for SQLite databases. Defaults to ./data.

PORT

No

HTTP port. Defaults to 8000. Railway sets this automatically.


Deployment (Railway)

  1. Fork this repo

  2. Connect to Railway โ†’ New Project โ†’ Deploy from GitHub

  3. Add environment variables:

    • ANTHROPIC_API_KEY โ€” your Anthropic API key

    • INVOICEPARSER_DATA_DIR โ€” /data

    • STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET โ€” from Stripe dashboard

    • STRIPE_PRO_PRICE_ID โ€” from Stripe dashboard

  4. Add a persistent volume at /data

  5. Deploy


Running locally (optional maxproxy routing)

If you run the server on the same machine as a maxproxy instance on port 3456, you can route Claude Vision calls through it instead of hitting the Anthropic API directly:

ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=maxproxy
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3456

Leave ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL unset (or empty) in any cloud/Railway deployment โ€” those environments cannot reach a local proxy.
