# OCR Text Extraction API
[](https://ocr-extract.api.klymax402.com/mcp)
[](https://x402.org)
[](LICENSE)
Extract text from images using OCR. Supports URLs and base64 images. Pay-per-call via [x402](https://x402.org) (USDC on Base L2) -- no API key, no signup, no rate-limit wall.
Part of the [klymax402](https://klymax402.com) marketplace -- 100 x402 micropayment APIs for AI agents, one wallet, USDC on Base.
## Quickstart -- MCP
Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ElizaOS, etc.):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"ocr-extract": {
"url": "https://ocr-extract.api.klymax402.com/mcp"
}
}
}
```
## Quickstart -- HTTP (x402)
```bash
curl -X POST "https://ocr-extract.api.klymax402.com/api/ocr" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{}'
# -> 402 Payment Required, with an x402 payment challenge in the response body
```
Any x402-aware client ([`@x402/fetch`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@x402/fetch), [`x402-agent-tools`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/x402-agent-tools), ATXP) handles the 402 -> sign -> retry cycle automatically.
