Contentdrips API and MCP vs Placid API + MCP

Contentdrips API and MCP 23

Hosted lines. No status page found on the site, the developer docs or the footers (0). No readable incident history (5). No rate limit is given in numbers, only monthly call allowances by plan (6,000 on Pro, 25,000 on Ultimate), which earn a little (5 of 15). The troubleshooting note says to check /queue/stats and retry after a short delay when rate limited, with no status code or Retry-After. Render jobs are asynchronous, so polling is safe (3 of 15). No SLA found (0). The MCP server is v1.0.0 and the render API is not labelled beta (10). 0 + 5 + 5 + 3 + 0 + 10 = 23.

Placid API + MCP 75

Hyperping status page at status.placid.app with separate App and API components and 90-day bars (20). No incidents are posted. The page's own figure for the API is 99.963 per cent over 90 days, roughly 48 minutes of recorded downtime with no write-up, so minor rather than clean (20). 60 requests a minute and 10 simultaneous create_now requests, documented (15). X-RateLimit-Limit, -Remaining and -Reset headers and exponential backoff advice on 429, but no idempotency key or safe-retry note for renders, which are writes (10). No SLA found on the pricing page or in the docs (0). REST API 2.0 is GA (10).

Contentdrips API and MCP 48

No OpenAPI or other machine-readable contract for the REST API, and the MCP server is closed, so its schemas weren't read. The MCP page names every tool's parameters (10 of 25, on that partial evidence). The marketing site's llms.txt is generated by Yoast and lists blog posts, with no link to the API or MCP docs; the developer site has none (2 of 10). The MCP page labels each tool Read, Write or Destructive, says get_template_structure is needed before filling or editing, and gives confirmation rules for publishing and deleting (15 of 20). Enums for output, type, AI method and formats, but content_update and carousel_content are open structures keyed by template labels (9 of 15). Request examples and an error table (400, 401, 404, 500) with an error body, while the result section contradicts its own example and some examples omit a required value (9 of 15). Docs marked v1.0.0 and last updated January 2025, with no changelog (3 of 15). 10 + 2 + 15 + 9 + 9 + 3 = 48.

Placid API + MCP 34

No OpenAPI or other machine-readable contract, and the MCP tool definitions aren't published (0). /llms.txt returns 404 (0). Endpoint pages state purpose and warn that create_now may fail under high load (12). template_uuid is the one required field and status is an enum, but layers and modifications are open objects keyed by layer name (8). Request and response examples per endpoint, and an error page with six codes but no body format (9). Docs are versioned 2.0, but the changelog on Headway carries no dates and its newest entries predate the MCP server (5).

Contentdrips API and MCP 54

29 MCP tools (15 for 11 to 30), with no toolsets or read-only subset (15 of 25). list_posts filters by status and get_my_templates by type and workspace, and no pagination is documented (8 of 20). Errors carry error and message, and the troubleshooting section explains template-not-found and label mismatches (12 of 20). Access labels in the docs, confirmed: true on publish_post, and job polling that is safe to repeat, but no idempotency key on renders or post creation, and the labels couldn't be confirmed as MCP annotations (12 of 20). Two required fields to render (template_id, output), and no SDK beyond an Embed SDK for the editor (7 of 15). 15 + 8 + 12 + 12 + 7 = 54.

Placid API + MCP 40

Image, PDF and video objects are small and the MCP can be limited to chosen templates and creative types (15). We found no pagination or filter parameters on the pages we read (5). Six status codes documented without an error body format (10). No idempotency key, no MCP tool annotations we could see, and DELETE removes an image for good. Polling the polling_url is safe (3). Only template_uuid is required, but the official libraries are PHP and Laravel only, both last tagged v1.0.1 on 2022-07-20 (7).

Contentdrips API and MCP 25

No x402, MPP or L402 (0). No per-call price. The API page shows $0 on paid cards, a $39 starting price and $359 a month for unlimited calls, and the pricing page shows $15 and $26 plans without API, so the public pricing can't be relied on (5 of 20). The API page says 10 API calls to test with and no card for the free plan (20). A person signs up and generates the key in the dashboard (0). 0 + 5 + 20 + 0 = 25.

Placid API + MCP 35

No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Plan prices are public per the 30 September check (our fetch of the pricing page didn't render the amounts), and the FAQ states credit costs per unit, 1 per image, 2 per PDF page and 10 per 10 seconds of video (15). Free trial with no card and unlimited watermarked previews in test mode (20). A person signs up in a browser and copies a project token (0).

Contentdrips API and MCP 15

The newest dated change to the agent surface is the MCP page, published 25 May 2026 and modified 27 May, 163 days before this check (10). No three dated changes since 8 August were found (0). No public changelog. Email support at hello@contentdrips.com, which we didn't test (5 of 15). Not in the official MCP registry and no official SDKs (0). No public package or repository (0). 10 + 0 + 5 + 0 + 0 = 15.

Placid API + MCP 7

We found no dated release or API change. The Headway changelog has no dates, its entries mention Integromat and a v2.0 launch, and /changelog on placid.app returns 404 (0). No dated entries in the last 90 days (0). Support by email named in the error docs, public changelog stale (4). Official PHP and Laravel libraries were last tagged v1.0.1 on 2022-07-20 and still call placid.app/api/rest (3). No CI on either library (0).
