Upload invoices for OCR; read, export and correct extracted invoices in Parseo. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the Parseo connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For bookkeepers and accounting firms that process supplier invoices with Parseo.
Upload one invoice file, or up to 10 files in one batch. Poll the job until it completes, then read the extracted invoice.
Changes dataList the invoices that are not exported yet. Export one as an Odoo or Rivile file, then mark it as exported after your import works.
Changes dataRead the invoice with its line items. Then send only the fields to change. A changed exported invoice is flagged as changed since export.
Changes dataList the clients of the team and read one client. Create a client, or update its details, so its invoices use the right client id.
Changes dataList the upload jobs and filter for awaiting_credits. Read the credit balance to see what those jobs wait for.
The login page asks for your Parseo API key.
Optional: Client id (optional, team-wide keys only).
Create the key in Parseo → Settings → API Keys. Grant only the scopes you need: invoice:read, invoice:write, invoice:export, client:read, client:write, contact:read, contact:write, audit:read. Leave the IP allowlist empty: this server's outgoing IPs are shared and not fixed. For a team-wide key, paste the client id (cl_…) in the optional field; leave it empty for a client-bound key. Your key is used only to call the API on your behalf and to derive a private account id; it is never shown to anyone.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"parseo": {
"url": "https://parseo.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"parseo": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://parseo.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.
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: the login page asks for your Parseo API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper user | $9/mo · $90/yr | Unlimited* |
*Pro fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month on this server. For more, write to [email protected].
Pro covers this Parseo server only. Subscribe with parseo_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with parseo_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running parseo_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Parseo. The server calls the Parseo API with your own Parseo access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.
The login page asks for your Parseo API key. See Before you connect for where to find it.
No. 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: the login page asks for your Parseo API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Parseo API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Parseo.
Yes, if you approve it. 8 of the 23 Parseo tools can create or change data. The other 15 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month), for this Parseo server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run parseo_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run parseo_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run parseo_cancel_subscription. Pro continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with parseo_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
