Connect with `https://mcp.extend.ai/mcp?tools=parse,extract,files` to keep the schema small\n2. Every MCP call names a workspace and TEST or PRODUCTION; start in TEST\n3. Read `retryable` on an error before retrying, and honour `Retry-After` on a 429\n4. Budget 5 credits a page for Performance Extract, since the parse step is billed on top\n5. Sync `POST /extract` blocks up to 5 minutes; use `/extract_runs` and poll or a webhook for long files\n\n### Reducto API + MCP\n\n1. Use `/parse_async` or `/extract_async` with a webhook for anything long; sync calls time out at 900 seconds\n2. Pass `jobid://\u003cjob_id\u003e` from a parse into extract or split so you don't pay to parse twice\n3. Call `get_job` when a tool returns a URL result instead of reading fields from the truncated reply\n4. The hosted MCP can't read local files; run `uvx mcp-server-reducto` when the agent needs to upload from disk\n5. Set `REDUCTO_TELEMETRY=0` in the local server's environment to turn off usage telemetry\n\n## Other comparisons with Extend API + MCP or Reducto API + MCP\n\n- [Adobe PDF Services / PDF Extract API vs Extend API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/adobe-pdf-extract-vs-extend.md)\n- [Adobe PDF Services / PDF Extract API vs Reducto API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/adobe-pdf-extract-vs-reducto.md)\n- [Extend API + MCP vs LlamaParse API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/extend-vs-llamaparse.md)\n- [Extend API + MCP vs Mistral OCR API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/extend-vs-mistral-ocr.md)\n- [Extend API + MCP vs Nanonets API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/extend-vs-nanonets.md)\n- [Extend API + MCP vs Unstructured API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/extend-vs-unstructured.md)\n- [LlamaParse API + MCP vs Reducto API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/llamaparse-vs-reducto.md)\n- [Mistral OCR API vs Reducto API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/mistral-ocr-vs-reducto.md)\n- [Nanonets API + MCP vs Reducto API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/nanonets-vs-reducto.md)\n- [Reducto API + MCP vs Unstructured API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/reducto-vs-unstructured.md)\n- [Extend API + MCP vs Mindee API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/extend-vs-mindee.md)\n- [Extend API + MCP vs Veryfi API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/extend-vs-veryfi.md)\n- [Mindee API vs Reducto API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/mindee-vs-reducto.md)\n- [Reducto API + MCP vs Veryfi API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/reducto-vs-veryfi.md)\n",
