GroupDocs.Comparison.Mcp copilot-instructions.md

Project instructions for a server that lets AI tools compare documents using GroupDocs.Comparison for .NET. They explain how to run or install it and describe its three available tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
They help developers install or run the MCP server with dnx, a .NET global tool, or Docker; build the repository; and use its document-comparison tools.
Why use it?
They give an agent the commands and repository conventions needed to build or run the server correctly. They also clarify how document differences are returned, including marked-up files, summaries, and structured change data.

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.Comparison.Mcp copilot-instructions.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.

GitHub Copilot instructions — GroupDocs.Comparison MCP Server

This repository is a standalone MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes GroupDocs.Comparison for .NET as AI-callable tools for Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and other MCP clients.

Published to NuGet as GroupDocs.Comparison.Mcp (PackageType=McpServer) and as container images at ghcr.io/groupdocs-comparison/comparison-net-mcp and docker.io/groupdocs/comparison-net-mcp. MIT-licensed.

Run / install

# Run directly with dnx (recommended — no install step); pin with @<version> for shared configs/CI
dnx GroupDocs.Comparison.Mcp --yes

# Or install as a global dotnet tool
dotnet tool install -g GroupDocs.Comparison.Mcp
groupdocs-comparison-mcp

# Or run via Docker
docker run --rm -i -v $(pwd)/documents:/data ghcr.io/groupdocs-comparison/comparison-net-mcp:latest

MCP tools exposed (3)

  • Compare — compare two documents (source vs target), produce a marked-up result file with differences highlighted, plus a change-count summary and a structured JSON change list (type, page, changed fragment, source/target text, table cell, style changes). Optional sourcePassword / targetPassword.
  • AnalyzeChanges — return the differences as structured data only (same JSON change list as Compare) without rendering or saving a result file. Cheaper than Compare; for summarizing/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. Optional password.

Supported formats: PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODT, ODS, ODP, RTF, TXT, HTML, and 30+ more.

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.
