Initial public release of GroupDocs.Redaction MCP Server

What changed

  • NuGet package GroupDocs.Redaction.Mcp published with McpServer package type.
  • Five MCP tools exposed:
    • RedactText — redacts text matching a regex pattern in a document and saves the result as <name>_redacted.<ext>.
    • EraseMetadata — erases document metadata fields (author, title, company, dates, and other properties).
    • RedactAnnotations — replaces or deletes annotations and comments in a document.
    • RedactImageArea — covers a rectangular page region with a solid-color box (pixel coordinates).
    • GetDocumentInfo — returns file type, page count, size, and per-page dimensions as JSON without modifying the document.
  • GetDocumentInfo added at clone time per the cross-product standard for MCP server repos.
  • The four redaction tools (RedactText, EraseMetadata, RedactAnnotations, RedactImageArea) ported from the GroupDocs.Redaction framework subproject; a Pitfall #18 catch-and-format exception wrapper added at clone time to each tool.
  • Installable via dnx GroupDocs.Redaction.Mcp@26.5.0 --yes (.NET 10 SDK required), dotnet tool install -g GroupDocs.Redaction.Mcp, or Docker.
  • Docker image published to ghcr.io/groupdocs-redaction/redaction-net-mcp and docker.io/groupdocs/redaction-net-mcp.
  • Environment variables: GROUPDOCS_MCP_STORAGE_PATH, optional GROUPDOCS_MCP_OUTPUT_PATH, GROUPDOCS_LICENSE_PATH.
  • Native dependencies on Linux: SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux.NoDependencies 3.119.1 (pulled transitively via GroupDocs.Redaction.Net100) + System.Drawing.EnableUnixSupport runtime host config option. System.Drawing.Common 9.0.3 is used for image-area redaction (rectangular box overlay). Dockerfile installs libgdiplus libfontconfig1 (base set; no ttf-mscorefonts required — Redaction does structural redaction and pixel-box overlays, not text-glyph rendering).
  • Evaluation mode produces watermarked output; no hard block on unlicensed use.

Why

Exposes GroupDocs.Redaction for .NET as AI-callable MCP tools for Claude, Cursor,
VS Code / GitHub Copilot, and other MCP-compatible agents, enabling automated
document redaction workflows in AI pipelines.
