Clients without OAuth support can authenticate with an Authorization: Bearer header carrying an API token from API & Integrations in Apify Console.

Get a ready-to-use configuration for your MCP client with the OCR PDF Online - Make Scanned PDFs Searchable Actor preconfigured at https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,northbound_works/searchable-pdf-ocr.

You can connect to the Apify MCP Server using clients like Tester MCP Client, or any other MCP client of your choice.

PDF OCR

ely_source/pdf-ocr

Read scanned PDFs and get clean text per page, with a confidence score for each one. Pages that already carry a text layer are read directly and never billed as OCR, so mixed batches come back faster, more accurately and cheaper.

Bank Statement PDF to Excel & CSV - Balance Reconciled

northbound_works/bank-statement-to-csv

Converts bank and credit-card statement PDFs into a clean transaction CSV, then checks that opening balance + transactions = closing balance. A statement that does not reconcile is rejected and not charged for, instead of returning a plausible CSV with a row missing.
