MCP tools · 5 exposed · ~916 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
enable_tools ~182

Add the dedicated tools for specific operations to this session, e.g. ["pdf_redact","ocr"], or ["all"] for every operation. bigapi starts lean – only find_tool, run_operation, get_access and get_balance are listed – so your context stays free. You rarely need this: every operation already runs through run_operation. Reach for it when you will call the same operation many times and want its parameters spelled out in your tool list. Names come from find_tool; unknown names are reported back and skipped while the rest are still enabled. The effect lasts for this session, adds to what is already enabled, and cannot be undone from here – restart the server for the lean list again.

NameTypeReqDescription
namesarrayyesTool names as find_tool reports them, e.g. ["pdf_redact","ocr"], or ["all"] for the full list

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

find_tool ~191

Find the right bigapi operation for a task. Describe what you need in plain words, English or German – "convert a png to webp", "remove customer names from a contract", "extract the ZUGFeRD invoice XML" – and get the matching operations with their parameters, a ready-to-run example, the price and a guide link. It recommends only: it never touches your files and never spends credit; run what it names with run_operation. Free and no API key needed, so it is also the cheapest way to see what bigapi covers. Start here whenever you are unsure which operation fits, and skip it when you already know the operation name. If nothing fits, the answer says so plainly instead of guessing.

NameTypeReqDescription
limitinteger–How many candidates to return
querystringyesThe task in plain words, e.g. "convert a png to webp"

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_access ~162

Get a bigapi API key for this machine. Call this once when no key is configured; other bigapi tools fail with "no API key" until you do. Creates a NEW free key (no signup, no credit card) and stores it in the local config file, where every bigapi tool picks it up. Calling it again creates an additional key rather than returning the existing one – use get_balance to check the key you already have. The new key includes 100 free operations, then $0.01 per operation from a prepaid balance; neither expires. Needs network access to api.bigapi.dev.

NameTypeReqDescription
namestring–Label stored with the key so you can tell keys apart later, e.g. "claude-desktop". Cosmetic only.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_balance ~93

Check the bigapi key that is currently configured: remaining credit, free operations left, monthly cap and spend so far this month. Read-only, free, and a snapshot of this moment – the numbers move as operations run. Use it to confirm a key works, before a large batch, or when an operation reports a low balance. It does not create keys (that is get_access) and does not list past operations.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

run_operation ~288

Run any bigapi operation on real files: merge or redact a PDF, OCR a scan, convert an image, chunk text for embeddings, read a ZUGFeRD invoice, sign an image as AI-generated. Take the operation name from find_tool (e.g. "pdf/merge", "ocr", "text/chunk"). Uploads are local file paths. A file result is written to output_path, or to a temporary file when you omit it, and the path comes back with size and content type; a data result comes back as JSON. $0.01 per operation flat, no subscription, and failed calls cost nothing. This one executor covers every operation, including ones added after your client started – enable_tools only adds convenience wrappers around it. Files are processed in Germany, deleted right after delivery, and every operation ships with a published proof that it does what it promises.

NameTypeReqDescription
file_fieldstring–Form field for the uploads; defaults to "files[]" for pdf/merge and "file" otherwise
filesarray–Local file paths to upload, in order
opstringyesOperation name or path, e.g. "pdf/merge" or "/v1/pdf/merge"
output_pathstring–Where to write the result
paramsobject–Parameters of the operation, exactly as described by find_tool

Common questions

What is the dev.bigapi/mcp server?

dev.bigapi/mcp is listed in the public MCP registry as dev.bigapi/mcp. The output layer for AI agents: turn what an agent produced into a finished file. This page covers its npm package (@bigapi/mcp).

Is the dev.bigapi/mcp server safe to use?

dev.bigapi/mcp scores 69 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 26 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the dev.bigapi/mcp server expose?

dev.bigapi/mcp exposes 5 tools: find_tool, run_operation, enable_tools, get_access, get_balance. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 916 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the dev.bigapi/mcp server still maintained?

dev.bigapi/mcp is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 26 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

What licence is the dev.bigapi/mcp server under?

dev.bigapi/mcp declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
