### Description (declared)

# Doc Parser MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for passport MRZ (Machine Readable Zone) extraction and document parsing.

## Features

- **MRZ Extraction**: Extract MRZ data from passport images
- **MRZ Detection**: Locate MRZ regions in passport images
- **Text Parsing**: Parse MRZ text into structured information
- **Checksum Validation**: Validate MRZ checksums
- **Multiple Input Formats**: Support file paths and base64 encoded images
- **Fallback Processing**: Works with or without external passport_mrz_extractor library

## Installation

### From PyPI (when published)

```bash
pip install doc-parser-mcp
```

### From Source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/doc-parser-mcp.git
cd doc-parser-mcp
pip install -e .
```

## Dependencies

The server requires the following dependencies:

- `mcp>=1.0.0` - Model Context Protocol framework
- `opencv-python>=4.5.0` - Image processing
- `numpy>=1.21.0` - Numerical operations
- `Pillow>=8.0.0` - Image manipulation
- `pytesseract>=0.3.8` - OCR functionality (optional, for fallback)

### Optional Dependencies

- `passport-mrz-extractor>=1.0.0` - Specialized passport MRZ extraction library

### System Dependencies

For OCR functionality (fallback mode), you need Tesseract:

**macOS:**
```bash
brew install tesseract
```

**Ubuntu/Debian:**
```bash
sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr
```

**Windows:**
Download and install from [Tesseract at UB Mannheim](https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/tesseract/wiki)

## Usage

### As MCP Server

Run the server using stdio transport:

```bash
doc-parser-mcp
```

### Available Tools

The server provides the following tools:

#### 1. extract_passport_mrz
Extract MRZ data from a passport image.

**Parameters:**
- `image_path` (string): Path to the passport image file
- `image_data` (string): Base64 encoded image data (alternative to image_path)

**Example:**
```json
{
  "image_path": "/path/to/passport.jpg"
}
```

#### 2. detect_mrz_region
Detect and locate MRZ region…
