Brainiall Documents missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, and it signs you in through your browser: there is no API key to paste.

Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

document
check_document_service
Check whether document conversion and extraction are available. Use this before a workflow or when another document tool reports a temporary availability problem. No document input is required. Returns: A dictionary with status='healthy', or an actionable error object.
extract
extract_document_fields
Extract structured fields and full text from a document image. Use this for invoices, receipts, forms, and similar PNG or JPEG images when the agent needs named fields rather than Markdown. PDF input is intentionally rejected; use pdf_to_markdown for PDFs. Returns: A dictionary containing request metadata, extracted fields, and text, or an actionable error object on failure.
pdf
pdf_to_markdown
Convert a PDF into readable Markdown for analysis and retrieval. Use this when an agent needs the text, headings, tables, and document structure from a PDF. Supply exactly one source: a public URL or base64 PDF bytes. The optional page range is useful for large documents. Returns: Markdown text on success, or an actionable error object on failure.

Brainiall Documents — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Brainiall Documents do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_document_service, extract_document_fields, pdf_to_markdown. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Brainiall Documents working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 668 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Brainiall Documents?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You sign in through your browser once and the client keeps the session: no key to copy, and it refuses anonymous clients.
How do you sign in to Brainiall Documents?
No API key is involved. Brainiall Documents answers our knock with an OAuth challenge, so you authorise it once in your browser and the client keeps the session. That is also why we see no tool list: it will not describe itself to an anonymous client, and that is the server working as intended, not a fault.
How fast is Brainiall Documents?
It answers our handshake in 668 ms on average, which is faster than 15% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
