get_license_status Leave feedback

get_license_status reports how this server is licensed and, under metered licensing, how much has been consumed. It takes no arguments, processes no document, and changes nothing — so it is the cheapest way to confirm a licensing setup actually took effect. Example prompt: “Is the conversion server licensed, and how much metered credit is left?”

Note

Added in server version 26.9.0 (GroupDocs.Mcp.Core 26.9.0). Earlier servers do not expose this tool.

Tool description (as the AI agent sees it):

Returns how this MCP server is licensed, and — under metered licensing — how much has been consumed. Call this when the user asks about licensing, evaluation limitations, metered usage, remaining credit, or which product engine version is running. Returns a JSON object with mode (“evaluation”, “licensed” or “metered”), licensed (true for both licensed and metered), consumption (null unless metered; otherwise quantity and credit, or error if the reading failed), and server / engine name and version. Takes no arguments and never modifies anything.

None.

{
  "name": "get_license_status",
  "arguments": {}
}

A JSON object describing the active licensing mode.

Evaluation mode — nothing configured:

{
  "mode": "evaluation",
  "licensed": false,
  "server": { "name": "GroupDocs.Conversion.Mcp", "version": "26.9.0" },
  "engine": { "name": "GroupDocs.Conversion", "version": "26.6.0.0" },
  "note": "No license configured — output may carry evaluation limitations. ..."
}

The full note text names the variables to set: GROUPDOCS_METERED_PUBLIC_KEY and GROUPDOCS_METERED_PRIVATE_KEY for metered licensing, or GROUPDOCS_LICENSE_PATH for a license file.

Metered mode — both keys accepted:

{
  "mode": "metered",
  "licensed": true,
  "source": "metered-keys",
  "consumption": { "quantity": 1234.5678, "credit": 9642.0 },
  "server": { "name": "GroupDocs.Conversion.Mcp", "version": "26.9.0" },
  "engine": { "name": "GroupDocs.Conversion", "version": "26.6.0.0" }
}

A key pair that the engine rejects does not fail silently: the mode reverts to evaluation and note carries the reason, so you learn it here rather than from a watermark on your output. See Licensing.

• “Is the conversion server licensed?”
• “How much metered credit have I used?”
• “Which GroupDocs.Conversion engine version is this server running?”
