Breaking SDK changes shipped as minor releases (files.get renamed, classify v1 removed).\n\n**Nanonets API + MCP.** Extraction API returns Markdown, CSV or JSON, with named fields or a JSON schema. No public changelog and no dated release in the last 90 days.\n\n## Before you call either\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### Nanonets API + MCP\n\n1. Use the extraction API at `extraction-api.nanonets.com`, not `app.nanonets.com`, unless you already have a trained model\n2. Pass a JSON schema in `json_options` when downstream code needs fixed field names\n3. Use the async extract endpoints for long documents and poll `/api/v1/extract/results/{record_id}`\n4. On a 429, wait 30 seconds and double the delay each retry\n5. Budget per page, since a 10-page PDF through an extraction block is 10 runs\n\n## Other comparisons with LlamaParse API + MCP or Nanonets API + MCP\n\n- [Adobe PDF Services / PDF Extract API vs LlamaParse API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/adobe-pdf-extract-vs-llamaparse.md)\n- [Adobe PDF Services / PDF Extract API vs Nanonets API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/adobe-pdf-extract-vs-nanonets.md)\n- [Extend API + MCP vs LlamaParse API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/extend-vs-llamaparse.md)\n- [Extend API + MCP vs Nanonets API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/extend-vs-nanonets.md)\n- [LlamaParse API + MCP vs Mistral OCR API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/llamaparse-vs-mistral-ocr.md)\n- [LlamaParse API + MCP vs Reducto API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/llamaparse-vs-reducto.md)\n- [LlamaParse API + MCP vs Unstructured API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/llamaparse-vs-unstructured.md)\n- [Mistral OCR API vs Nanonets API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/mistral-ocr-vs-nanonets.md)\n- [Nanonets API + MCP vs Reducto API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/nanonets-vs-reducto.md)\n- [Nanonets API + MCP vs Unstructured API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/nanonets-vs-unstructured.md)\n- [LlamaParse API + MCP vs Mindee API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/llamaparse-vs-mindee.md)\n- [LlamaParse API + MCP vs Veryfi API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/llamaparse-vs-veryfi.md)\n- [Mindee API vs Nanonets API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/mindee-vs-nanonets.md)\n- [Nanonets API + MCP vs Veryfi API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/nanonets-vs-veryfi.md)\n",
