Our reading of TextClean, from the data

TextClean is a productivity & office MCP server, listed in the official MCP Registry.

Its 1 tool add about 625 tokens to every model turn, lighter than the productivity & office median of 1,386 tokens across 100 measured servers (measured 2026-10-19).

Tools (1)

clean_text623 tok
Clean supplied text deterministically without rewriting its meaning. Use for copied PDF text, Markdown/HTML artifacts, citations, spacing, or destination formatting; not OCR, file uploads, grammar correction, or AI-authorship detection. Preserves supported document structure unless a selected cleanup removes it. Returns cleanedText, destination-rendered text, optional html, a changes list, and usage counters as structured JSON and matching JSON text. No API key required. 20 calls per UTC day per network address; shared networks share this allowance. Service-wide load protection can return HTTP
