The GroupDocs.Parser MCP server runs anywhere Docker runs. There is no NuGet 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.
| Docker channel (the only channel) | |
|---|---|
| Runtime | Docker Desktop / docker engine |
| .NET SDK | not required — the runtime is inside the image |
| Native dependencies | bundled in the image |
| Architectures | linux/amd64 + linux/arm64 (Apple Silicon native) |
| Installer scripts | PowerShell 5.1 (Windows built-in) or PowerShell 7 (pwsh, macOS/Linux) |
| Disk | the image is large — it carries the engine’s ONNX models. Pull once per version |
| Network | pull from ghcr.io / docker.io at install only — no network at runtime |
Plan for the image size. The models that make text and barcode extraction work are inside the image, so the first pull is substantially bigger than for the other GroupDocs MCP servers. Pull it deliberately (docker pull ghcr.io/groupdocs-parser/parser-net-mcp:latest) rather than letting a client hit it on the first tool call and time out.
Per-OS setup, including the one-shot prerequisite bootstrappers (setup/windows.ps1, setup/linux.sh, setup/macos.sh):
AI client requirements: any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, VS Code / GitHub Copilot, Visual Studio 2022 17.14+, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Codex CLI) — see Register in AI clients.
The engine’s own platform requirements are those of the library: GroupDocs.Parser system requirements.
