Quick start

Note
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.Signature MCP server in Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, or any MCP client in three commands with the guided installer — then verify the setup automatically:

git clone https://github.com/groupdocs/GroupDocs.Mcp.Installer.git
cd 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 a document to sign (say contract.pdf) into the storage folder you chose, then ask your agent:

Sign contract.pdf with a QR code containing our order reference

The agent calls sign and saves the signed copy to your output folder. The document — and, for digital signatures, your certificate — stay on your machine.

Where to go next

  • Fresh machine? Follow your OS page — it includes the prerequisite bootstrap: Windows · Linux · macOS
  • Manual or single-client install (exact JSON per client): Register in AI clients
  • 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.Signature license applies — Licensing.
