GroupDocs.Comparison.Mcp AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for AI coding agents working on an MCP server for comparing documents. The server compares files, reports differences as structured data, and can create marked-up result files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing, testing, documenting, or operating the document-comparison MCP server.
Why use it?
They explain the project’s purpose, available comparison operations, supported document types, and expected repository practices.

Getting it into your agent

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.Comparison.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 2d ago.

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.Comparison for .NET — exposes document comparison operations as AI-callable tools via the Model Context Protocol.

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

MCP tools exposed

Tool Description
Compare Compare two documents (source vs target), produce a marked-up result file with the differences highlighted, and return a change-count summary plus a structured JSON list of the changes (type, page, changed fragment, source/target text, table cell, style changes). Supports PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, ODT, RTF, TXT, HTML, and 30+ more formats; takes optional sourcePassword / targetPassword.
AnalyzeChanges Return the differences between two documents as structured data only — the same JSON change list as Compare, but without rendering or saving a result file. Cheaper than Compare; use for summarizing or reasoning about what changed. Optional sourcePassword / targetPassword.
GetDocumentInfo Inspect a single source document and return file type, page count, file size, and per-page dimensions as JSON. No comparison performed. Optional password for protected documents.

Compare and AnalyzeChanges accept sourceFile + targetFile as FileInput (resolved via IFileResolver), plus optional sourcePassword / targetPassword. GetDocumentInfo takes just file (FileInput) and an optional password.

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.
