Ask the owner for an API key and the Document Type id or alias from app.invofox.com. No API endpoint lists Document Types\n2. Upload with POST /v1/ingest/uploads as multipart, with `info` as a JSON string. Send `\"useClassifier\": true` in place of `type` to have the type detected\n3. Expect 404 from GET /documents/{id} for the first seconds. Poll from 5 seconds with doubling, and stop at approved, pendingCorrection or discarded\n4. Handle the `file.rejected` webhook or check the import. A rejected file never produces a document, so polling the document waits indefinitely\n5. Do not retry an upload blindly. There is no idempotency key, so send your own id in `clientData` and look it up with `filter` first\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## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Invofox or Reducto API + MCP?\n\nReducto API + MCP scores 62.9 (B) on agent readiness against Invofox's 46.8 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Invofox leads on security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Do Invofox and Reducto API + MCP need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Invofox and Reducto API + MCP without installing anything?\n\nYes. Invofox has a hosted endpoint at https://api.invofox.com and Reducto API + MCP at https://platform.reducto.ai.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/invofox-vs-reducto.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/invofox-vs-reducto.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"invofox\", \"b\": \"reducto\"}`.
