- Listing: apps/papra-hq--papra.html
- JSON: apps/papra-hq--papra.json
- License: AGPL-3.0
- Agent interface: API, from the builder
- Reach: 8 of 10 jobs
- Last activity: 2026-09-03
- Effort: config-only
- Use it when: we want every receipt and supplier invoice forwarded to one address, OCR'd, tagged, and searchable before month-end without paying per user
- Use it when: we want our agent to file documents and pull the ones tagged for the accountant through an API key rather than a shared drive
- Gotcha: AGPL-3.0
- Gotcha: Archive, not ledger: no amounts, no double-entry; pair with an accounting listing
- Gotcha: Email intake needs OwlRelay or a catch-all domain wired to a webhook
- Gotcha: Managed Free plan is 512MB and 3 members

## Well

Supplier-invoice retrieval and ledger data behind one official MCP endpoint and CLI; MIT toolkit repo.

- Listing: apps/WellApp-ai--Well.html
- JSON: apps/WellApp-ai--Well.json
- License: MIT, core closed
- Agent interface: MCP server, from the builder
- Reach: 5 of 9 jobs
- Last activity: 2026-08-07
- Effort: light-edit
- Agent cannot reach: Retrieve invoices from supplier portals; Export to QuickBooks, Xero, UBL; Teach a new portal blueprint
- Use it when: month-end means logging into fifteen supplier portals to download invoices and we want that done for us and queryable from our agent
- Use it when: we want our agent to list unpaid supplier invoices and fix vendor details from the terminal, then hand a clean export to the accountant
- Gotcha: Private beta; pricing after beta is unpublished
- Gotcha: Retrieval only works in Chrome; the MCP sees what the extension has already captured
- Gotcha: Repo is a toolkit around a closed hosted backend, not the product source
- Gotcha: French-market accents (compte de resultat, Factur-X) in the skills
