GroupDocs.Viewer.Mcp AGENTS.md

An MCP server for GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET that lets AI clients inspect documents and render pages as images. It supports common office files, PDFs, web pages, and many other formats.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to get a document's type, page count, and page dimensions, or render a selected page to a PNG. It also supports password-protected documents.
Why use it?
It lets an AI client inspect document details or see rendered pages without requiring a separate document-viewing workflow.

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.Viewer.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.Viewer for .NET — exposes document rendering and view-info inspection as AI-callable tools via the Model Context Protocol.

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

MCP tools exposed

Tool Description
RenderPage Render a single document page as a PNG image. Returns a CallToolResult with both a TextContentBlock (saved file path: <source-stem>_page<N>.png) and an ImageContentBlock (PNG bytes inline as image/png). Supports PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, ODT, RTF, HTML, and 170+ more formats; takes optional page (1-based, default 1) and password.
GetViewInfo Return file type, page count, and per-page dimensions as JSON. No rendering performed. Optional password for protected documents.

RenderPage is the only tool in the GroupDocs MCP family that returns a CallToolResult directly (rather than Task<string>) — it embeds the rendered image inline as an ImageContentBlock so AI clients can display the page without a separate fetch.

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.
