Breaking SDK changes shipped as minor releases (files.get renamed, classify v1 removed).\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Clairic\n\n1. Send `model` as `clairic` in the body as well as in the URL. The input schema requires `model` and `fields`\n2. Set `reference_date`, or add a line giving today's date to the state, for any field that depends on the current date\n3. Treat a null `value` as not found, and read `p_null`, `confidence` or the 80% interval before acting. Typed output is well formed, not necessarily correct\n4. Extract the inputs and do multi-step sums and table totals in code. Cloudflare says long arithmetic chains aren't reliable yet\n5. Embed images as data URLs or base64 objects, at most four, 4 MiB each and 8 MiB in all. Remote image URLs are refused\n6. Read the internal code on a 429. 3036 means the day's 10,000 free neurons are spent, 3040 means capacity, so retry later\n\n### LlamaParse API + MCP\n\n1. Connect to a product endpoint such as `https://mcp.llamaindex.ai/parse/mcp` instead of the unified one to load 3 tools plus helpers\n2. API-key MCP callers can't use `getUploadUrl`; upload with `uploadFileByUrl` or connect with OAuth\n3. Pin `version` on every parse so tier behaviour stays reproducible\n4. Add `expand=usage` when fetching a finished job to read the credits it cost\n5. Treat a 402 as out of credits, not a transient error\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Clairic or LlamaParse API + MCP?\n\nClairic scores 66.3 (B) on agent readiness against LlamaParse API + MCP's 59.2 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. LlamaParse API + MCP leads on maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Clairic and LlamaParse API + MCP need an API key?\n\nClairic needs an API key. LlamaParse API + MCP takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Clairic and LlamaParse API + MCP without installing anything?\n\nYes. Clairic has a hosted endpoint at https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/ai/run/@cf/cloudflare/clairic and LlamaParse API + MCP at https://api.cloud.llamaindex.ai/api/v2.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cloudflare-clairic-vs-llamaparse.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cloudflare-clairic-vs-llamaparse.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"cloudflare-clairic\", \"b\": \"llamaparse\"}`.
