The last dated product change found is the changelog entry of 5 September 2023, and the client libraries were last tagged in 2023 (docraptor-python 3.1.0 on 19 July 2023, npm docraptor 1.0.1 on 28 December 2023); the about and security pages were rewritten after the October 2025 acquisition but carry no dated API change (0). No releases in the last 90 days (0). Support by email, site chat and a help centre with stated hours, and a per-document help request from the dashboard; GitHub issue replies couldn't be read (8 of 15). Official clients in six languages exist and still match the API, but none has shipped since 2023 (10). The Python client pins 2023 dependencies and its test suite runs through tox with no CI workflow in the repository (3). 0 + 0 + 8 + 10 + 3 = 21.\n- Nutrient DWS Processor API (83): The hosted Nutrient MCP server was published to the official registry as `io.nutrient/mcp` 2.0.0 on 14 October 2026, still the latest version on 1 November (30). Local MCP releases 0.1.1 and 0.1.2 (24 August) and 0.1.3 (27 August), the TypeScript client 3.0.0 (23 August, per the 17 October check) and the hosted 2.0.0 fall in the 90 days (20). The local server's repository is now reference-only with no further updates or fixes, so its open issues and pull requests won't be answered. For the hosted service there is no public changelog, and support answers through a form with a stated target of one business day (10). `io.nutrient/mcp` sits in the official registry under Nutrient's own domain namespace (15). The TypeScript and Python clients are current (the Python repository had a commit on 22 October 2026, unreleased), and the deprecated npm package carries a deprecation message pointing to the hosted server (8). 30+20+10+15+8 = 83.\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Nutrient DWS Processor API +27\n\n- DocRaptor (41): One API key per account with no scopes, sent as the HTTP Basic username, and the docs offer `user_credentials` in the query string as a second method, which costs the 10 points for a secret in a URL (0 of 30). Test mode limits spend but there is no read-only key, and the destructive action, expiring a hosted document, needs no confirmation (6). The API renders the caller's HTML and returns a PDF or spreadsheet, not text for the model to read (10). The dashboard's document log records each job with input, output and log when the account's retention allows, and an IP listing API exists; no per-key audit log (8). SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA BAAs, annual third-party penetration tests, a vulnerability disclosure policy with security@docraptor.com and DPF registration, but no security.txt (17). 0 + 6 + 10 + 8 + 17 = 41.\n- Nutrient DWS Processor API (68): OAuth at api.nutrient.io with PKCE (S256), dynamic client registration, a revocation endpoint and per-product scopes; the hosted MCP server asks for `mcp:invoke` and accepts `product:processor`, `product:data_extraction` and others. Live keys can be scoped, and `POST /tokens` issues JWTs limited to named operations and origins, expiring within 24 hours and revocable. The base key can only be regenerated. No query-string credential is documented (28). Scoped keys, operation-limited JWTs and product scopes on OAuth, but no confirmation step. The supported MCP route is now hosted and reads no local paths, so the local server's unrestricted file access without `SANDBOX_PATH` no longer applies (15, up from 13). Document text comes back as untrusted content, and no prompt-injection guidance was found (4). Each response reports credit cost and remaining credits with a request id, a usage endpoint exists, and extraction runs from the MCP server land in a run history the person can review. No audit log was found (6). SOC 2 Type 2 and SOC 3 per the trust centre, annual penetration testing by Prescient Security, and a vulnerability disclosure policy with a report page, per the 8 October check. security.txt is still a 404 and no bounty was established (15). 28+15+4+6+15 = 68.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Nutrient DWS Processor API +20\n\n- DocRaptor (62): An OpenAPI 3.0 description, docraptor.yaml with seven operations and a Doc schema, is public in the client repositories and generates the libraries, but it is not served from docraptor.com (18). No llms.txt and no Markdown twins (0). The API parameters page describes each option, when to use async, how pipelines map to Prince and JavaScript engines, and why both JavaScript engines shouldn't be enabled together (14). Options are listed with their allowed values and defaults, and the OpenAPI Doc schema types them, though nested `prince_options` are documented in prose (11). Examples in seven languages, a status-code page, an XML error example and the async failure body (11). Pipelines are versioned with a dated changelog, but its last entry is 5 September 2023 and the API path carries no version (8). 18 + 0 + 14 + 11 + 11 + 8 = 62.\n- Nutrient DWS Processor API (82): A public OpenAPI 3.1.0 document, now version 1.20.0 per the API reference page, with 17 operations and 203 schemas per the 8 October check of 1.19.0, not re-read on 1 November (25). llms.txt at site and product level with topic indexes, and a Markdown twin of each guide (10). Tag descriptions explain the Build API, async jobs and authorisation at length. The tool descriptions of the hosted MCP server couldn't be read first-hand, since `tools/list` needs an OAuth token (15, kept from 8 October). 102 of 203 schemas use enums and build actions are discriminated by `type`, per the 8 October check (13). Guides carry samples in six languages, and the errors guide and async tables document the response bodies (14). The spec is versioned, but the only changelog was the local MCP server's, which stopped with that server on 14 October, and the hosted server 2.0.0 has none. No public API changelog was found, and the move from 1.19.0 to 1.20.0 is undated (5). 25+10+15+13+14+5 = 82.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Nutrient DWS Processor API +16\n\n- DocRaptor (63): Responses are the document bytes or a small JSON status, with `X-DocRaptor-Num-Pages` on PDFs, and test mode avoids spending quota (18). The document listing takes `page` and `per_page` (default 100); there is nothing else to page (12). XML error messages state the cause, the status-code page maps 400, 401, 403 and 422 to causes, and JavaScript errors are returned with the failure (14). No idempotency key and no safe-retry guidance; a retried POST makes a second document, and only test documents are free (4). Two parameters make a document, defaults are sensible, and official clients exist in Ruby, Python, Node, PHP, Java and C# (15). 18 + 12 + 14 + 4 + 15 = 63.\n- Nutrient DWS Processor API (79): API responses are files or `json-content` with switches for plain text, structured text, key-value pairs and tables. Smithery's copy of the hosted MCP server's tool list shows 14 tools and about 60,000 characters of names, descriptions and input schemas, which we couldn't confirm first-hand. That puts it in the 11 to 30 band with no toolsets or read-only subset, read as openmetadata (16 tools, 49,602 characters) and plane (30 tools, about 67,000) are (15). Page ranges per part and output switches. Nothing to paginate (15). Errors carry `failingPaths` in JSONPath form, a `requestId`, and `error.reason` codes with recommended handling for async jobs (18). `Idempotency-Key` on async `/build` only. In Smithery's copy every hosted tool carries readOnlyHint, destructiveHint and idempotentHint, and `process_document` requires an `idempotency_key` (17). Single-purpose endpoints such as `/processor/generate_pdf` need one file, `/build` chains actions, and official clients exist for TypeScript (3.0.0) and Python (3.1.0) (14). 15+15+18+17+14 = 79.\n\n### Reliability: Nutrient DWS Processor API +10\n\n- DocRaptor (68): Read with the hosted lines. status.docraptor.com is an Atlassian Statuspage with components (20). Its front page reported no incidents on any of the days it lists, the history page needs JavaScript our reader lacks, and history.rss redirects to an inactive feed, so the record is clean for the days we could read and unread beyond them (20). The limits page gives numbers, 60 seconds synchronous, 600 asynchronous, 30 simultaneous requests and 100 MB hosted output (15). Too many simultaneous requests answer 403 with no Retry-After or backoff guidance, callbacks are retried up to three times, and there is no idempotency key (3). No SLA found; the about page's 99.99 per cent uptime is a marketing figure and the terms are unread (0). GA (10). 20 + 20 + 15 + 3 + 0 + 10 = 68.\n- Nutrient DWS Processor API (78): Graded with the hosted lines. Status page at www.nutrientstatus.com on Better Stack with a Processor API component and 90 days of daily history (20). The JSON feed read on 1 November 2026 covers 3 August to 1 November. The Processor API was down on five days, the longest 451 seconds on 6 August and the latest 205 seconds on 30 October. DWS Platform was down 45 seconds on 23 August and 154 seconds on 7 September, and the Data Extraction API 1,763 seconds (about 29 minutes) on 1 September. Nothing reaches an hour, so minor only (20). The feed has no component for the hosted MCP server. The pricing guide and the product page FAQ give 100 requests a minute per key on all plans, and 10 a minute for test keys (15). It recommends exponential backoff, async admission returns `Retry-After`, and `Idempotency-Key` covers async builds only, so 13 of 15. The product page mentions guaranteed SLAs on custom plans, but no SLA document is published and the terms disclaim availability (0). GA, at spec version 1.20.0 (10). 20+20+15+13+0+10 = 78.\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Nutrient DWS Processor API +7\n\n- DocRaptor (69): Closed service; the terms render through a script and were not read, the client libraries are MIT (12). The security FAQ states retention options, that logs hold metadata only, that content isn't used for model training and that metadata may be used for analytics, and the privacy policy on artifex.com of 19 November 2025 names the entities; the sub-processor list is a help-centre page that rendered empty for our reader (18). Pipelines 1 to 7 were deprecated with a dated notice in 2020 and pipeline versions are selectable, but there is no written notice period (12). AWS us-east-1 is named as the processing location and the FAQ says customers are emailed when the sub-processor list changes, though the list itself was unread (12). 12 + 18 + 12 + 12 = 54.\n- Nutrient DWS Processor API (76): The API is closed under a dated licence agreement (October 2026) naming PSPDFKit GmbH, and the TypeScript and Python clients are MIT, as is the now unsupported local MCP server, so between the two bands (20). The privacy policy has a Processor API section, the terms carry data processing terms in section 9, and files are deleted within 24 hours on plans without retention. The MCP page says the server keeps nothing, uploads expire after 24 hours, and extraction runs stay in the run history until deleted. Plans with retention enabled let Nutrient keep files and train models on them, and no public page says which plans those are. The October 2026 terms add that free-tier settings apply to Enterprise evaluations unless Nutrient disables retention, and that a paid plan switched to retention needs the customer's acceptance while a free plan needs only advance notice (20). No deprecation policy, and the terms allow changes at any time. The local MCP server's end of support is dated 14 October 2026 in the repository and on npm, with the hosted server named as the replacement, but it took effect the day it was announced (8, up from 4). The trust centre lists 51 sub-processors with locations, updated 8 September 2026, and the status page names Frankfurt and Oregon processing regions, per the 8 October check (18). 20+20+8+18 = 66.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | DocRaptor | Nutrient DWS Processor API | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 68 | 78 | Nutrient DWS Processor API +10 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 62 | 82 | Nutrient DWS Processor API +20 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 63 | 79 | Nutrient DWS Processor API +16 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 41 | 68 | Nutrient DWS Processor API +27 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 35 | 40 | Nutrient DWS Processor API +5 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 21 | 83 | Nutrient DWS Processor API +62 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 69 | 76 | Nutrient DWS Processor API +7 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | -1 | |\n| **Total** | | **53.3 · D** | **71.6 · BB** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | DocRaptor | Nutrient DWS Processor API |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | HTTP API | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | DocRaptor, LLC (Artifex Software) | Nutrient (PSPDFKit GmbH) |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://api.docraptor.com/docs` | `https://api.nutrient.io` |\n| Transports | HTTP | HTTP, Streamable HTTP |\n| Auth | API key | OAuth or key |\n| Pricing | Freemium | Freemium |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | MIT (client libraries) | Proprietary service under the Nutrient DWS API licence agreement.

The single key can travel in a query string, there is no idempotency key, the terms page needs JavaScript our reader lacks, and nothing dated has changed since 2023.\n\n**Nutrient DWS Processor API.** A public OpenAPI 3.1 document, JSONPath-level error bodies and OAuth or operation-limited tokens make the API easy for an agent to call, and 50 free credits a month need no card. The local MCP server lost support the day a hosted one replaced it, and the terms let plans with data retention train models on submitted files.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### DocRaptor\n\n1. Send the key as the HTTP Basic username with a blank password, never as `user_credentials` in the URL, and send `test: true` while iterating since test documents are free and watermarked\n2. Use `async: true` for documents that may take more than 60 seconds, then poll `/status/{status_id}` until `completed` and fetch `download_url` within the account's retention period\n3. Treat a 403 as either a permission problem or more than 30 simultaneous requests; back off and retry rather than fail the task\n4. JavaScript errors and, on pipelines before 7, console messages fail the document; set `javascript: true` only when the HTML needs it and define `docraptorJavaScriptFinished()` for async scripts\n5. Do not retry a synchronous POST blindly after a timeout; check the document log or listing first, since each success counts against the monthly quota\n\n### Nutrient DWS Processor API\n\n1. Send `Authorization: Bearer \u003ckey\u003e` to `https://api.nutrient.io`. Use `POST /build` with an `instructions` JSON part to chain several actions in one charged request\n2. Call `POST /analyze_build` first to get the credit cost of a build. The call is free\n3. Stay under 100 requests a minute per key and back off exponentially on 429. Test keys allow 10 a minute and 5 MB\n4. Use the hosted MCP at https://mcp.nutrient.io/mcp, not `@nutrient-sdk/dws-mcp-server`, which gets no fixes after 14 October 2026\n5. Ask for a lighter parse mode on simple PDFs. The hosted MCP reads documents in agentic mode by default, at 18 credits a page\n6. Turn on pay-as-you-go or use Processor tools only on a free plan, since free plans include no Data Extraction credits and the hosted MCP reads documents with them\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, DocRaptor or Nutrient DWS Processor API?\n\nNutrient DWS Processor API scores 71.6 (BB) on agent readiness against DocRaptor's 53.3 (D), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do DocRaptor and Nutrient DWS Processor API need an API key?\n\nDocRaptor needs an API key. Nutrient DWS Processor API takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call DocRaptor and Nutrient DWS Processor API without installing anything?\n\nYes.
