TigerOCR turns documents into Markdown. It is a hosted OCR service around baidu/Unlimited-OCR, a 3B document-to-Markdown vision model: hand it an image or a PDF and get back clean Markdown with tables, LaTeX formulas, reading order and exported figure crops.
Two ways in
- A remote MCP server for Claude.ai, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex and Cursor. The dashboard renders ready-to-paste snippets for each client.
- A REST API for everything else: upload a file, then poll the job.

Tools your agent gets
ocr_documentruns OCR on a file.get_ocr_jobfetches a result, windowed by page or character offset so a long document never floods the model's context.search_ocr_jobfinds a passage inside a finished result.list_ocr_jobslists recent jobs.usagereports the wallet balance and spend.
Pay for the GPU seconds you use
Every account has a wallet, and a job costs the GPU time it actually used. The gateway reserves an estimate when you submit, settles to the measured GPU seconds when the worker finishes, and refunds failed jobs in full. Credit can be topped up through Stripe Checkout.
The founder cohort, the first six accounts, gets $5 of credit every month.
