Smithery links: Skavio Processing catalog profile identifies this server. The work-6dqn namespace gateway is a Smithery-managed MCP interface requiring Smithery authorization (connections:execute); its available connections depend on the authorized namespace. It is not the canonical Skavio Processing endpoint. Use https://getskavio.com/processing/mcp with company OAuth for direct connections. Anonymous checks on 2026-10-27 confirmed the gateway's HTTP 401 and Smithery OAuth metadata, but did not establish access to Skavio tools through it. Never send a Skavio company credential to the namespace gateway.

The Processing MCP uses company-scoped prepaid credits; the separate x402 micro-APIs advertise payment-required responses. Neither requires exposing private keys to Skavio.

Card-funded prepaid processing: Processing MCP uses the authenticated company's Skavio wallet (1 USD = 1,000 credits). Only a company administrator funds the correct company wallet through the website checkout; an MCP agent cannot charge a card. The separate Agent Tools Dashboard offers Stripe-hosted $5–$500 card top-ups or USDC for its bound Agent Tools company wallet and eligible processing jobs paid with payment_mode=prepaid. Company credentials are NOT interchangeable. The four public blockchain-proof/DNS tools on https://getskavio.com/mcp and standalone x402 HTTP API calls remain native-USDC x402 only. Card funding and credit debit/refund logic passed controlled tests, but a real paid customer card-to-MCP completed-job E2E has not yet been independently verified.

One company-scoped API for document extraction, PDF and image tools, media processing, transcription and meetings.

Bulk features introduced in API 1.5.0

• Bulk manifests up to 100,000 items with immutable manifest pages of 1–100 items and bounded incremental child admission.
• Storage-aware admission through GET /v1/storage, declared input/output/scratch envelopes and durable storage reservations.
• Resume and failed-item retry for large workloads without resubmitting successful items.
• Crash/restart recovery for scheduler state, reservations, checkpoints and provider-intent reconciliation.
• Fair scheduling across companies while preserving the current ceiling of 4 active platform jobs globally.
• Existing 100-item batches remain available for simpler workloads.

Start with Bulk processing guide or the Python bulk quickstart. This repository contains the public developer kit. The hosted processing service requires a Skavio account and credits.

First result

1. Register, create a company profile and generate a read/write key in the company workspace. Copy it once and keep it server-side.
2. Upload a source using multipart field files.
3. Call POST /v1/estimate without starting processing.
4. Set max_credits to the returned estimated_credits.
5. Submit POST /v1/jobs with a stable Idempotency-Key.
6. Poll the returned job ID until completed or failed; download through the authenticated result paths.

The included invoice is synthetic, contains no customer data, and can be used for an extraction test.

Python 3.10+

python -m venv .venv. .venv/bin/activatepip install -r requirements.txt# Set SKAVIO_API_KEY securely in your local environment.export SKAVIO_IDEMPOTENCY_KEY="your-persisted-invoice-request-001"python quickstart.py

Node.js 22+

# Set SKAVIO_API_KEY securely in your local environment.export SKAVIO_IDEMPOTENCY_KEY="your-persisted-invoice-request-002"node quickstart.mjs

Both examples use sample-invoice.txt; set SKAVIO_SOURCE to a PDF/image/text source to change it. They estimate cost before submission and write JSON output into results/. For intentional processing of a different source or changed payload, use a new idempotency key. These examples are server-side starters. For the official Python and JavaScript SDK clients, see sdk/README.md; durable workflow pipelines are documented in workflow-guide.md.

Postman

Import the collection or fork its public workspace copy. Set your own local/private environment variable api_key; never save a real key in the public collection. Set source_file to a local source. Run Upload → Estimate → Submit → Job status → Download. Poll every 3–10 seconds until the job is terminal before downloading. Requests cover the API-key processing endpoints; administration, key creation, billing and webhook registration use an interactive company administrator session in the dashboard. Before a new business request, clear upload_id, job_id, download_path, max_credits and idempotency_key in your private environment. Preserve the idempotency key when retrying the same submission.

What can I process?

Capabilities snapshot lists exact operation names. Query GET /v1/capabilities for current prices and limits. Normal file jobs accept one source; PDF merge accepts 2–20 PDFs; Flow can process multiple document sources. Transcribe and Meeting accept one media source. Batch processing supports up to 100 items. API 1.5.0 bulk manifests support up to 100,000 items with incremental dispatch; see bulk-guide.md. Standalone jobs do not support arbitrary operation chaining. Durable linear process/review/archive pipelines are available; see workflow guide.

Credits and price control

All web tools and API share a prepaid company wallet. No unlimited processing entitlement is advertised in this kit. The server measures bytes, pages and media duration. It reserves the quoted amount on submission, charges that fixed quote on success, and releases the reservation on failure. Use max_credits to reject unexpectedly expensive submissions and GET /v1/wallet to track balance and reservations.

Current base value: 1 USD = 1,000 credits. Use live pricing and the authenticated dashboard for exact supported packs and taxes. Retired EUR pack examples are not current.

Subscriptions and allowances are product-specific: do not assume former EUR plan tiers apply to MCP; verify the latest live pricing.

Web tools and API share one wallet. Submit reserves the measured quote; success charges it once; a permanent failure releases it. Temporary provider outages keep jobs queued with durable checkpoints and reserved credits. Existing quoted jobs and purchased checkout/subscription offers retain their original amounts.

Canonical live catalog: GET /v1/pricing. Always estimate before submission and use max_credits rather than hard-coding a rate.

Reliability and integration rules

• queued → processing → completed | failed; submission returns HTTP 202.
• Replaying the identical job request with the same idempotency key returns the same job. Changing its payload returns 409.
• Persist business request, exact payload, key and job ID in your system. If a response is lost, retry with the original key.
• A failed job releases credits; an intentional new attempt uses a new key.
• Provider outages and service restarts preserve durable jobs/checkpoints and reservations; permanent failures release them.
• Webhooks deliver at least once; verify HMAC on the raw bytes and deduplicate event IDs. Polling remains supported.
• Results/source retention defaults to 7 days. Storage Fabric policy, archive and hold control object retention; inspect retain_until and preserve results before expiry.
• Extraction can be wrong. Check evidence and review flags; review line items against the source before downstream accounting.

Limits (current deployment)

120 requests/minute per key/session; up to 100 files/500 MB per upload; 2 GB source storage/company; 100 pages/PDF; 100 queued jobs/company; 4 active platform jobs/company and 4 globally. Transcribe/Meeting input can be up to 10 hours; File Toolbox media up to 2 hours. These are ceilings, not guaranteed throughput or an SLA. Back off on 429 and transient 5xx responses. Current plans share the processing limits.

Errors

JSON errors retain detail and add error_code, request_id and retryable; X-Request-Id provides correlation. Use stable codes rather than matching error text. Validation does not echo secret inputs.

Security and support

Use Authorization: Bearer <your-key> over HTTPS. Never expose keys in frontend apps, URLs, screenshots, commits or shared Postman environments. Company-scoped object IDs cannot access another company. Create/revoke keys and register webhooks in the dashboard. PDF passwords are secrets; do not log payloads. Review Privacy and Terms before regulated/sensitive inputs. Source processing can involve external providers; backup/provider retention is separate from platform deletion.

Report integration issues through this repository with synthetic reproductions only, or contact [email protected] privately. Never attach customer documents, keys or billing data to a public issue.

Versioning

Compatible additions remain under /v1; clients should ignore unknown response fields. Breaking changes require a major API version or an announced migration. Changelog.

Batch processing — API 1.5.0

Submit up to 100 items for any advertised operation through the same processing pipeline. A batch uses one operation/options set and creates ordinary child jobs. Processing remains 4 active jobs per company and 4 globally; a batch does not promise 100 parallel executions.

1. Upload files with POST /v1/uploads; retain their upload IDs.
2. Quote POST /v1/batches/estimate using {"operation":"jpg","upload_ids":["UPLOAD_A","UPLOAD_B"]}.
3. Submit the same payload to POST /v1/batches with max_credits set to the total quote and a persisted Idempotency-Key (8–128 allowed characters).
4. Poll GET /v1/batches/{batch_id}. Each items[].job includes status, credits and result download paths. progress ranges from 0 to 1; terminal states are completed, partial, failed.
5. Download GET /v1/batches/{batch_id}/results.zip after completion. The archive includes successful results and manifest.json. Missing/expired files return 410. ZIP output is limited to 1 GB; use individual authenticated downloads for larger results.
6. Use POST /v1/batches/{batch_id}/retry-failed with a new persisted key to create a separately billed batch of failed items. Retry requests are bound to the original batch. Download successes before retention expires.

Credits reserve atomically for the complete batch. Every child has separate accounting; successful items are charged and failed items release their reservation. Replaying the same submission does not reserve credits again. Changing a request while reusing its key returns 409. Batch items count toward the 100 queued jobs per company.

Use either upload_ids (one child per source) or items (explicit groups), never both. PDF merge requires groups with 2–20 PDFs each:

{"operation":"pdf-merge","items":[{"upload_ids":["PDF_A","PDF_B"]},{"upload_ids":["PDF_C","PDF_D"]}],"webhook_mode":"both"}

Grouped Flow inputs use the same items shape. Optional webhook_id must belong to your company. webhook_mode accepts batch (parent events), items (child events), or both. Parent events are batch.completed, batch.partial, batch.failed; verify the same signature and deduplicate event IDs. Parent delivery IDs are distinct from child delivery IDs.

GET /v1/batches lists recent company batches. DELETE /v1/batches/{batch_id} deletes terminal result/source specifications while preserving accounting. Source/result retention is seven days. A repeated-failure guard may return 429; contact support rather than continuously resubmitting failing sources. Save exact payloads, keys and returned IDs in durable storage.

Batch starters: Python · Node.js · Batch guide. Set SKAVIO_API_KEY, SKAVIO_UPLOAD_IDS (JSON array from upload), and a persisted SKAVIO_BATCH_IDEMPOTENCY_KEY. The examples poll and print authenticated result paths; archive results before retention expires.

Durable workflow pipelines

Linear process/review/archive steps, checkpointed execution and per-step credit settlement. See workflow guide.

Official SDK clients

Python and Node.js clients are in sdk/README.md. Install from this repository with python3 -m pip install ./sdk/python or npm install ./sdk/javascript. They cover all 92 current OpenAPI operations, durable submission keys, resumable polling, signed webhook verification and authenticated result downloads. Packages are published: pip install skavio-sdk==1.1.0 and npm install @skavio-llc/[email protected].

API 1.9.0 controls and notifications

Bulk pause and cancel require Idempotency-Key and enforce company isolation. Pause prevents new child admission; accepted jobs drain and settle once. Cancel is final and prevents further dispatch. GET /v1/notifications and GET /v1/notifications/settings are tenant-scoped. PUT /v1/notifications/settings requires a company administrator web session. Notifications are disabled by default; email requires configured transport. Frozen events are deduplicated and retried within a bounded delivery window. Email follows the current company billing address and supports cs/de/en.

USDC payment verification for AI agents

Skavio USDC Payment Verification — x402 API inspects native Circle USDC transfers, matches an exact recipient and decimal amount, and generates blockchain evidence PDFs. Use it for merchant payment reconciliation, accountant transaction review and agent workflows. PDF evidence is not a tax invoice or a guarantee of third-party authorization.

• HTTP Verify: 0.02 native USDC; Match: 0.03 USDC; PDF: 0.05 USDC. Payment settles separately on Base through x402 v2. Inspection supports Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Ethereum, Avalanche and finalized Solana.
• API quickstart, schemas, errors and client configurations · three-route discovery · OpenAPI.
• Skavio USDC Payment Verification & Proof MCP, version 1.1.5. Stable registry namespace and tool IDs are unchanged. Connect using https://getskavio.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP).
• MCP has four paid blockchain/domain tools (verify_native_usdc, match_native_usdc_payment, usdc_transfer_evidence_pdf, domain_dns_tls_audit), two free discovery tools, and twelve separate authenticated AgentTools processing/job/wallet relays. The DNS/TLS audit is 0.05 USDC and is not a vulnerability scan.
• A standard MCP client without a wallet x402 extension cannot automatically pay. Discovery is free. Paid MCP retries preserve params._meta["x402/payment"]; HTTP retries use PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. Never send a private key or seed phrase. No custody or automatic spending is created by adding a server.
• PayAPI publishes separate live listings and historical settlement receipts for HTTP Verify, 0.02 USDC, exact recipient/amount Match, 0.03 USDC, and blockchain PDF evidence, 0.05 USDC. Each route was independently read back on 2026-10-17, and each prior Base USDC receipt was checked read-only. No new payment was made for this documentation update. This is blockchain evidence, not a tax invoice.
• RPC availability and finality affect results. No fixed latency SLA is promised. EVM requests use a 32-byte 0x hash; Solana uses its transaction signature. Match takes a recipient wallet and a positive exact USDC decimal string with at most six decimal places.

Cursor .cursor/mcp.json:

{"mcpServers":{"skavio-usdc":{"url":"https://getskavio.com/mcp"}}}

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http skavio-usdc https://getskavio.com/mcp

Claude Desktop with Node.js and a reviewed stdio-to-HTTP bridge:

{"mcpServers":{"skavio-usdc":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","mcp-remote","https://getskavio.com/mcp"]}}}

The bridge may download a third-party package and does not supply wallet payment support. Current Desktop remote connectors may accept the HTTPS URL directly.

First unpaid request (no signing or transfer):

curl -i 'https://getskavio.com/x402/v1/usdc/verify?tx_hash=0x98809948204426c574b6f0aabdec03baa996b5c43ce28cc9ca704fa5d07e592e&network=base'

Expect HTTP 402 and decode PAYMENT-REQUIRED. Inspect the exact amount, Base USDC asset and recipient before authorizing an x402 wallet client; only then retry the same request. After an ambiguous response, inspect recovery state instead of blindly paying again.

Separate Skavio PDF, OCR & Document Processing MCP, version 0.2.8, uses company OAuth at https://getskavio.com/processing/mcp and shared prepaid credits. Processing docs explain company ownership and measured jobs. Optional AgentTools relays require the caller's own key and current backend availability; preserve the idempotency key, poll status, download results and verify SHA256. HTTP /x402/v1/processing stays disabled.
