- pdfco/mcp/services/pdf.py:115-116 (helper)Helper function parse_invoice() that makes the actual API request to the 'ai-invoice-parser' endpoint.
async def parse_invoice(params: ConversionParams, api_key: str | None = None) -> BaseResponse: return await request("ai-invoice-parser", params, api_key=api_key) - pdfco/mcp/services/pdf.py:125-153 (helper)The lower-level request() helper that builds the payload, calls the API via PDFCoClient, and returns a BaseResponse.
async def request( endpoint: str, params: ConversionParams, custom_payload: dict | None = None, api_key: str | None = None, ) -> BaseResponse: payload = params.parse_payload(async_mode=True) if custom_payload: payload.update(custom_payload) try: async with PDFCoClient(api_key=api_key) as client: url = f"/v1/{endpoint}" print(f"Requesting {url} with payload {payload}", file=sys.stderr) response = await client.post(url, json=payload) print(f"response: {response}", file=sys.stderr) json_data = response.json() return BaseResponse( status="working", content=json_data, credits_used=json_data.get("credits"), credits_remaining=json_data.get("remainingCredits"), tips=f"You **should** use the 'wait_job_completion' tool to wait for the job [{json_data.get('jobId')}] to complete if a jobId is present.", ) except Exception as e: return BaseResponse( status="error", content=f"{type(e)}: {[arg for arg in e.args if arg]}", )
