Claranova has launched the Avanquest PDF API for Claude, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector designed for Anthropic’s artificial intelligence assistant. This launch is part of the Group’s strategy to scale up its B2B business by marketing its document technologies as SaaS services, APIs, and automation solutions for developers and enterprises. The initiative aims to generate additional recurring revenue by engaging existing business customers with new value-added services.

The Avanquest PDF API for Claude enables the integration of more than 15 professional PDF features directly into AI assistants and conversational workflows. Users can automate a variety of document processing tasks, including conversion, editing, OCR, data extraction, document protection, and analysis. By leveraging Avanquest's document management technologies developed over the past twenty years, Claranova is making these capabilities available as APIs and services for direct integration into business applications and professional workflows.

Service Model and Availability

The service is offered on a pay-as-you-go basis, featuring a 30-day free trial. Users can activate the service by obtaining an API key via developers.avanquest.com. Following the trial period, customers can upgrade to Starter, Scale, or Enterprise plans tailored to their specific needs.
