Integration

Take full control.
Getting started takes minutes.

Plug deepidv into your stack three ways — a REST API, native SDKs, or an MCP server your AI agents can call directly. Clean docs, a sandbox, and one source of truth take you from API key to live verification the same day.

REST API

Call any verification service directly — create a session or run a standalone check and get structured JSON back in under 500ms.

→ screening 200+ watchlists…
✓ status: clear
  risk_score: 4 · 143ms

Drop-in SDK

Pre-built UI components and server libraries for iOS, Android, Web, Node, Python, and Go — zero to live verification in a single sprint.

  checks: ['id','liveness','face'],
✓ v.url → send to your user

MCP for agents

An open protocol that lets any AI agent call deepidv's verification engine directly — no custom integration code. Connect it in one command.
