# CapOut MCP

> Use CapOut from ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, and other MCP-aware clients to process PDFs, manage recipients, and track export progress.

CapOut MCP exposes the CapOut document-processing workflow as agent tools. The CapOut MCP is hosted remotely, so local machine and workspace PDFs use the staged upload flow rather than direct filesystem reads. Use it when you want an agent to process PDFs, manage saved XactNet delivery addresses, inspect claims, or switch between live and test API keys without hand-writing REST calls.

## Install

CapOut MCP is exposed as a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint. For Codex, install it with:

```bash theme={null}
codex mcp add capout --url https://mcp.capout.ai/mcp
```

The endpoint is:

```text theme={null}
https://mcp.capout.ai/mcp
```

For copyable setup examples in Codex, `npx add-mcp`, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and GitHub Copilot CLI, see [MCP Installation](/mcp/installation).

## Tool map

* `capout_process_pdf`: process one PDF from `pdf`, `url`, `file_base64`, or `file_path`
* `capout_create_upload_url`: create a short-lived staged upload link for local CLI or workspace PDFs
* `capout_process_staged_upload`: submit a staged local upload for processing
* `capout_document_status`: get a one-shot status check for a document
* `capout_wait_for_document`: wait for progress and completion inside the agent UI
* `capout_claims`: inspect remaining claims
* `capout_xactnet_addresses`: list saved recipient addresses
* `capout_create_xactnet_address`: save a new recipient address
* `capout_update_xactnet_address_profile`: assign `profile_code` on a saved address
* `capout_delete_xactnet_address`: remove a saved recipient address
* `capout_api_keys`: list available live and test API keys
* `capout_select_api_key`: switch the active API key

## Choose the right workflow

* Use [Process PDFs](/mcp/tools/process-pdf) when the agent has an attachment, a public HTTPS PDF URL, or inline base64.
* Use [Staged Uploads](/mcp/tools/staged-uploads) when the PDF lives on the local machine or workspace.
* Process tools require both `xn_address` and `profile_code`.
* Use [Status and Waiting](/mcp/tools/status-and-waiting) after every accepted upload until the document reaches a terminal state.

## Common prompts
