MCP Server

Let AI agents compare documents through Differino. Works with Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol is a standard for AI agents to use external tools. Differino's MCP server lets agents upload and compare documents programmatically — no browser needed. Your AI assistant can compare contracts, review document changes, and summarize differences on its own.
