The post details how to use the ToHuman API to rewrite AI-generated text to bypass detectors like GPTZero, with sync and async endpoints. It provides step-by-step configurations for n8n's HTTP Request node, Zapier's Webhook action, and an MCP tool definition.", "body_md": "If your content pipeline produces AI-generated drafts and something downstream — a detector, a reviewer, a publishing checklist — keeps flagging them as AI, the fix usually isn't another manual copy-paste step. It's a single HTTP call. This is the integration pattern for wiring an **AI humanizer API** into n8n, Zapier, and an MCP-capable agent, with the exact request shapes so you can copy-paste and run them.\n\n*Originally published on the ToHuman blog — cross-posting here because the n8n/Zapier/MCP integration patterns below are exactly the kind of thing this community builds with daily.*\n\nAn AI humanizer API is a REST endpoint that takes AI-generated text, runs it through a model fine-tuned to remove the patterns detectors flag, and returns a version that reads like it was written by a person. This post walks the integration pattern using the free [ToHuman API](https://tohuman.io/ai-humanizer-api) as the reference endpoint: a single `POST /api/v1/humanizations/sync`\n\ncall for anything under ~2,000 words, an async endpoint with webhook callbacks for longer content, and the exact node/action configuration for n8n, Zapier, and an MCP tool.\n\nAn AI humanizer API is an HTTP endpoint that accepts AI-generated text as input and returns a rewritten version designed to bypass AI-detection tools like GPTZero, Turnitin AI, Originality.ai, and Copyleaks. Under the hood it runs a purpose-built model — usually a fine-tuned open-weight LLM such as Mistral 7B or Llama — trained on paired data of AI-written and human-written text. The endpoint's job is one thing: change surface patterns (sentence rhythm, connective tissue, punctuation, entropy signatures) enough that the detector's classifier drops below its \"AI-written\" threshold, while preserving meaning.\n\nTwo things it is not:\n\nEvery humanizer API in the category follows one of two request shapes: **sync** (send text, wait, get result) or **async** (send text, get job ID, receive result later). This guide uses [ToHuman's](https://tohuman.io/ai-humanizer-api) endpoints as the reference — they're free, so you can copy-paste and run the examples without paying anything.\n\n**Sync request (default — anything under ~2,000 words):**\n\n```\nPOST https://tohuman.io/api/v1/humanizations/sync\nAuthorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY\nContent-Type: application/json\n\n{\n  \"content\": \"Your AI-generated text goes here.\",\n  \"intensity\": \"medium\"\n}\n```\n\nResponse:\n\n```\n{\n  \"id\": 42,\n  \"document_id\": 15,\n  \"status\": \"completed\",\n  \"intensity\": \"medium\",\n  \"output_content\": \"The rewritten version...\",\n  \"processing_time\": 1.42\n}\n```\n\nFour intensity values: `minimal`\n\n, `subtle`\n\n, `medium`\n\n, `heavy`\n\n. `medium`\n\nis the default for raw model output; `heavy`\n\nis for text that consistently fails GPTZero.\n\n**Async request (content over ~2,000 words, or batches):**\n\n```\nPOST https://tohuman.io/api/v1/humanizations\nAuthorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY\nContent-Type: application/json\n\n{\n  \"content\": \"Long article text...\",\n  \"intensity\": \"heavy\",\n  \"webhook_url\": \"https://your-app.com/webhooks/humanize\"\n}\n```\n\nThe response returns a job ID. When the humanization finishes, ToHuman POSTs the result back to your `webhook_url`\n\n:\n\n```\n{\n  \"event\": \"humanization.completed\",\n  \"humanization\": {\n    \"id\": 43,\n    \"status\": \"completed\",\n    \"output_content\": \"The humanized text...\",\n    \"processing_time\": 3.87\n  }\n}\n```\n\nn8n doesn't have a dedicated ToHuman node, but it doesn't need one — the built-in **HTTP Request** node handles any REST endpoint.\n\nMinimal setup: a **Manual Trigger** (or Schedule Trigger), a **Set** node with test text, and an **HTTP Request** node pointed at the humanizer.\n\n**Credentials:** Settings → Credentials → New Credential → **Header Auth**, header name `Authorization`\n\n, value `Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`\n\n.\n\n**HTTP Request node config:**\n\n`POST`\n\n`https://tohuman.io/api/v1/humanizations/sync`\n\n```\n{\n  \"content\": \"{{ $('OpenAI').item.json.message.content }}\",\n  \"intensity\": \"medium\"\n}\n```\n\nFor content over ~2,000 words, swap to the async endpoint and add a `webhook_url`\n\npointing at a **Webhook** trigger node.
