Space Context is the context layer for the physical world. Your agents know your code, your documents and your calendar; they know nothing about the places you live and work in. Film a space once, and they know it too.

It turns a video of a physical space (a flat, a holiday rental, an office, a van, an appliance) into a structured Space Document: every area, every item and where it is, its condition, what is broken, where the water shut-off and the fuse box are, how things work, with the original video frames as evidence. You read it, search it and ask it questions from your code, from the terminal or from an AI assistant.

Four ways in

All four use the same account as the Space Context iPhone app, and the same API keys from the console.

What you can do

• Scan a video (MP4, MOV, M4V, 3GP, WebM or Matroska, up to 4 GB and 10 minutes) or up to 120 photos. The analysis runs on our side; no ffmpeg needed (the CLI uses it, when installed, to compress a bigger video). → Scans
• Read a space as JSON, by section. → The Space Document
• Search across all your spaces, in any language: “where did I see a ladder?” → Search and ask
• Ask one space a question and get a short answer with its sources and photos, or “not documented”. → Search and ask
• Compare two scans of the same space: items added, removed, moved, issues new or resolved. → Skills and comparisons
• Export a space as an Agent Skill folder that any agent can read. → Use a space in Claude Code
• Get notified when a scan completes or fails. → Webhooks
• Pay as an agent: an agent with USDC on Base or Solana buys credit and a key in one call, with no account and no card. → Agents that pay (x402)

Try it for free

A test key (sc_test_…) runs every flow for free on the demo space, two real scans of an apartment in Brisbane (photos at check-in, a narrated video at check-out): scans complete instantly, nothing is charged and none of your data is involved. Create one in the console and follow the quickstart.

The first live scan of a new account is free as well (one free scan per card). After that, live scans are paid from a prepaid balance. Live scans, and live keys that can scan, need a card on file: saved in the console without a charge, or a top-up already paid. See Billing.

Use these docs from an agent

Every page of this documentation is also served as plain Markdown (the page’s URL with .md), and the whole set comes in the formats agents read best:

• llms.txt — https://spacecontext.app/developers/docs/llms.txt: an index of every page with a one-line description. Give this URL to an agent; it fetches only the pages it needs.
• llms-full.txt — https://spacecontext.app/developers/docs/llms-full.txt: everything in one file, to paste into a conversation or add to a project’s files.
• The MCP server — https://mcp.spacecontext.app/mcp: connect Claude or any MCP client to read your spaces themselves, not only the docs. → Connect an assistant

For tooling: the OpenAPI contract (code generation, validation) and a ZIP of every page with the contract, for offline use.
