Nutrient Document Web Services API for AI agents

Nutrient Document Web Services is a document-processing API for converting, OCR-ing, redacting, watermarking, and signing files like PDFs. Development teams embed it to handle document workflows at scale. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.
