get_license_status reports how this server is licensed and, under metered licensing, how much has been consumed. Call it before any ingestion run — evaluation mode silently converts only the first three pages. Example prompt: “Is the markdown server licensed?”
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.
Parameters
None.
Example call
{"name":"get_license_status","arguments":{}}
Result
A JSON object describing the active licensing mode.
Evaluation mode — nothing configured:
{"mode":"evaluation","licensed":false,"server":{"name":"GroupDocs.Markdown.Mcp","version":"26.9.0"},"engine":{"name":"GroupDocs.Markdown","version":"26.3"},"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.
MCP server version and the underlying GroupDocs.Markdown engine version
note
Why licensing did not end up where you asked — present only when something needs attention
"mode": "evaluation" truncates your conversions: only the first three pages are processed, with a watermark on each. A knowledge base built from unlicensed conversions will be almost empty and will not look broken.
A rejected key pair does not fail silently: the mode reverts to evaluation and note carries the reason. See Licensing.
Example prompts
“Is the markdown server licensed?”
“How much metered credit have I used?”
“Which GroupDocs.Markdown engine version is running?”
