GroupDocs.Redaction for Python via .NET -- AGENTS.md

Instructions for AI agents working with this package.

Permanently remove sensitive content from documents -- redact text by exact phrase or regex, scrub or rewrite metadata, replace or delete annotations, black out image regions, remove pages, and rasterize the result so nothing redacted can be recovered. Works across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, images, and text formats through one unified API, with no MS Office or external software installed.

Install

pip install groupdocs-redaction-net

Python: 3.5 - 3.14 | Platforms: Windows, Linux, macOS

MCP Server

If your environment has MCP configured, you can connect your AI tool to the GroupDocs documentation server for on-demand API lookups:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "groupdocs-docs": {
      "url": "https://docs.groupdocs.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Works with Claude Code (~/.claude/settings.json), Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json), VS Code Copilot (.vscode/mcp.json), and any MCP-compatible client. If MCP is unavailable, fall back to the LLM-optimized docs URL above and this file -- both are shipped inside the wheel.
