Copy-paste prompts. Ready-made API examples.

28 prompts for document AI, data APIs and IDE workflows — copy, paste, get working code.

Every modern LLM reads the PaperOffice llms.txt: Claude, Cursor and your IDE write the rest.

28 ready-made prompts Real endpoints REST and MCP

Integration

From llms.txt to a running integration

Three steps: link the doc, state your intent, take the code.

  1. Paste llms.txt

    Into Claude, Cursor or your IDE.

  2. State the intent

    What to build — or use a prompt from this page.

  3. Let it write the code

    The IDE delivers the working integration.

Document AI

Frequently asked

Everything you need to know

Do I need an SDK?

No. The PaperOffice API is plain REST: one endpoint, one bearer token, multipart/form-data. For IDEs and agents there is the MCP server on top.

Why does every prompt start with llms.txt?

llms.txt is the machine-readable version of the API documentation. Your model reads endpoints, parameters and response formats from it instead of inventing fields.

Which key do I paste in?

A user token with the po_ut_ prefix. You find it in the PaperOffice app under Account → API. Replace po_ut_YOUR_API_KEY in the prompt with your own key.

Do I get the result right away or do I have to poll?

With processing_lane=instant the API answers synchronously (HTTP 200 with result). Without it you get HTTP 202 and a job_id; fetch the result via GET /job/get/{job_id} or receive it by webhook.

Do the prompts work in every environment?

The prompts contain no tool-specific instructions. Verified with Claude, Claude Code and Cursor — any environment that can read a URL works.

What does a call cost?

Every response reports credits_billed. Credit prices per pipeline are listed in the pricing overview, and you are billed only for what was actually processed.
