**Free OCR & vision for any AI coding client, powered by GLM-4.6V-Flash.**

`mcp-glm-ocr` is an [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that gives
OCR and image-understanding capabilities to AI clients that cannot process
images themselves (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, OpenCode, and
any other MCP-compatible client).

Under the hood it sends the image to [GLM-4.6V-Flash](https://docs.z.ai/guides/vlm/glm-4.6v),
z.ai's vision-language model, which is **completely free** (input and output).
The model reads the image and returns text, so your text-only client gets full
vision capabilities at zero cost.

> Why this exists: z.ai's official vision MCP server is exclusive to paid
> GLM Coding Plan subscribers. This one works with a plain free z.ai account.

## Tools

| Tool | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `ocr_image(image)` | Extract all text from an image (screenshots, photos, receipts, document pages). |
| `describe_image(image)` | Detailed description of what an image shows. |
| `analyze_image(image, prompt)` | Answer a custom question about an image (charts, tables, diagrams, UI screenshots, math...). |

All tools accept:

- a **local file path** (absolute, or relative to the client's working directory), e.g. `demo.png`
- an **http(s) URL**, e.g. `https://example.com/photo.jpg`
- a **`file://` URL** or a **`data:` URL**

## Requirements

- Python 3.10+ (or just [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/))
- A free z.ai API key
