Register in AI clients

Register the GroupDocs.Parser MCP server in any AI client with the exact config file location and JSON block for each. The installer does this automatically; this page is the manual reference. Restart the client after any registration change.

Note
Every entry below uses Docker, because that is the only channel for this product. GroupDocs.Parser’s engine embeds around 234 MB of ONNX models, which puts the packed tool over nuget.org’s 250 MB package limit — so dnx and dotnet tool install are not available for this product. When a slimmer engine ships, the NuGet channel returns.

One-click install

Install in VS Code Install in VS Code Insiders Add to Cursor

Note
One-click installs pre-fill every supported setting. After installing, edit the placeholder documents folder (/path/to/documents) — that host path is what the container sees as /data.

The standard server entry:

{
  "command": "docker",
  "args": [
    "run", "--rm", "-i",
    "-v", "/path/to/documents:/data",
    "ghcr.io/groupdocs-parser/parser-net-mcp:latest"
  ]
}

Everything after the image name is passed to the server; everything before it configures the container. Environment variables therefore go before the image, as -e flags — see Configuration.

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json under the mcpServers key:

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "groupdocs-parser": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run", "--rm", "-i",
        "-v", "/path/to/documents:/data",
        "ghcr.io/groupdocs-parser/parser-net-mcp:latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add groupdocs-parser -- docker run --rm -i \
  -v /path/to/documents:/data ghcr.io/groupdocs-parser/parser-net-mcp:latest

--scope user makes it machine-wide.

VS Code / GitHub Copilot

User-level mcp.json (root key servers), or workspace .vscode/mcp.json:

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Code\User\mcp.json · macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/mcp.json · Linux: ~/.config/Code/User/mcp.json

The repo README carries one-click Install in VS Code buttons with the Docker entry pre-filled.

Visual Studio 2022 (17.14+)

Create .mcp.json in your solution root — same servers shape as VS Code.

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json, root key mcpServers — same entry as Claude Desktop.

Windsurf

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, root key mcpServers (Settings → Cascade → Manage MCP servers → View raw config), then refresh the server list.

Cline

VS Code globalStorage: …/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json, root key mcpServers.

Codex CLI

codex mcp add groupdocs-parser -- docker run --rm -i \
  -v /path/to/documents:/data ghcr.io/groupdocs-parser/parser-net-mcp:latest

Or add a [mcp_servers.groupdocs-parser] table to ~/.codex/config.toml.

JetBrains Rider

No stable config-file surface yet — register manually: Settings → Tools → AI Assistant → Model Context Protocol (MCP) → Add, using the standard entry above as reference.

Pinning a version

Replace :latest with :26.9.0 in any entry above. Recommended for shared or committed configurations, so a new release cannot change behaviour under a running workflow.

Ready-made config files for each client live in install/generated/ in the server repository.
