GroupDocs.Annotation.Mcp AGENTS.md

A set of repository instructions for an AI coding agent working on an MCP server for GroupDocs.Annotation for .NET. The server exposes operations for adding, listing, updating, removing, replying to, importing, exporting, and previewing document annotations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing document-review features such as highlights, arrows, text fields, replies, annotation updates, imports, exports, and previews.
Why use it?
It describes the codebase and its available tools, reducing guesswork when an agent changes or extends the server.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

GroupDocs.Annotation.Mcp AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AGENTS.md — Guide for AI coding agents

Brief orientation for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, Aider, Amp, Codex) working in this repository.

What this repo is

A standalone MCP server for GroupDocs.Annotation for .NET — exposes document annotation operations (add / list / update / remove / reply / import / export / preview) as AI-callable tools via the Model Context Protocol.

Published to NuGet as GroupDocs.Annotation.Mcp with the McpServer package type, and to ghcr.io/groupdocs-annotation/annotation-net-mcp + docker.io/groupdocs/annotation-net-mcp as a container image.

MCP tools exposed

Tool Description
AddAnnotation Adds a textfield / area / point / arrow / highlight / underline / strikeout annotation; saves as <name>_annotated.<ext>
GetAnnotations Lists all annotations as JSON (id, type, message, page, box, user, replies)
UpdateAnnotation Updates an existing annotation's message and/or bounding box by id
RemoveAnnotations Removes annotations by id list, or all if none specified
AddReply Adds a reply to an existing annotation
RemoveReplies Removes replies by reply-id list, by user name, or all
ImportAnnotations Imports annotations from an XML file or another annotated document
ExportAnnotations Extracts annotations to XML (re-importable via ImportAnnotations)
GetDocumentInfo Returns file type, page count, size, and per-page dimensions as JSON (read-only)
GeneratePagesPreview Renders up to 5 pages as inline PNG image content blocks (annotations baked in)

All tools accept FileInput (resolved via IFileResolver) and an optional password for protected documents.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
