## For AI agents

When to use Sapling: call it when a task needs grammar/spelling corrections with exact offsets, an AI-generated-text score, paraphrasing or tone rewriting, summarization, translation, tone/sentiment/quality scoring, zero-shot classification, typed field extraction, named-entity recognition, PII redaction, content-safety scoring, or style-guide checks — as JSON, programmatically, at volume. Sapling is not a general chat model.

- [MCP server](https://sapling.ai/docs/mcp/): hosted at https://mcp.sapling.ai/mcp (Streamable HTTP, OAuth or API-key bearer) or local via `npx -y @saplingai/mcp-server`. Server card: https://sapling.ai/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json
