These steps install the .NET build of the server — the only platform available today. Java, Python, and Node.js builds are planned; each will get its own install section under its platform. Platform-independent material (tools, use cases, licensing) lives here and applies to all of them.
Install and register the GroupDocs.Merger MCP server in Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, or any MCP client in three commands with the guided installer — then verify the setup automatically:
gitclonehttps://github.com/groupdocs/GroupDocs.Mcp.Installer.gitcd GroupDocs.Mcp.Installer# wizard: products, channel, clients, folders, license./install-groupdocs-mcp.ps1-Interactive# preview - prints everything, changes nothing./install-groupdocs-mcp.ps1-DryRun# apply + warm caches + verify the setup in one go./install-groupdocs-mcp.ps1-Verify
Then restart your AI client (Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, …) so it picks up the new server.
Your first prompt
Put two or more documents of the same format (say part-one.pdf and part-two.pdf) into the storage folder you chose, then ask your agent:
Merge part-one.pdf and part-two.pdf into a single document
The agent calls merge and saves the combined document to your output folder. Nothing is uploaded — the merge happens in a local process.
Where to go next
Fresh machine? Follow your OS page — it includes the prerequisite bootstrap:
Windows · Linux · macOS
Docker-only shop: run ./install-groupdocs-mcp.ps1 -EmitCompose -Clients @() to generate a docker-compose.yml instead of client registration — see Configuration.
Licensing: the server works in evaluation mode out of the box; your existing GroupDocs.Merger license applies — Licensing.
