Talonic MCP Overview

talonicdev/talonic-mcp MCP server connects AI agents to Talonic for structured extraction from PDFs, scans, images, invoices, contracts, and forms. It exposes tools for schema-validated JSON extraction, OCR to Markdown, document search and filtering, reusable schemas, usage and credit inspection, Specs, and cited workspace questions. Local clients run it through npx with an API key, while Claude.ai can use the hosted Streamable HTTP connector with OAuth. Reach for it when an agent needs persistent document data rather than a one-off OCR result.
