+# SyncfusionDocumentSDKAssistant MCP Server
+
+
+## Overview  
+
+The <a href ="https://www.npmjs.com/package/@syncfusion/documentsdk-assistant">SyncfusionDocumentSDKAssistant</a> is a specialized [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/getting-started/intro) server that provides intelligent assistance for developers using Syncfusion’s DocumentSDK libraries. This tool seamlessly integrates with compatible [MCP clients](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/clients) to enhance your development workflow when building .NET applications with Syncfusion<sup>&reg;</sup> Document Processing libraries, such as PDF, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
+
+### Key Benefits
+
+  * Intelligent code generation for Syncfusion<sup>&reg;</sup> DocumentSDK components.
+  *	Detailed component documentation and usage examples.
+  *	Troubleshooting assistance for common integration challenges.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before using <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/@syncfusion/documentsdk-assistant">SyncfusionDocumentSDKAssistant</a>, ensure you have:
+
+  * Required [node](https://nodejs.org/en/) version >= 18
+  *	A [compatible MCP client](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/clients) (VS Code with GitHub Copilot, [Syncfusion<sup>&reg;</sup> CodeStudio](https://www.syncfusion.com/code-studio/), etc.)
+  *	An active Syncfusion<sup>&reg;</sup> license (any of the following):
+     * [Commercial License](https://www.syncfusion.com/sales/unlimitedlicense)
+	 * [Free Community License](https://www.syncfusion.com/products/communitylicense)
+     * [Free Trial](https://www.syncfusion.com/account/manage-trials/start-trials)
+  *	An active [API KEY](https://syncfusion.com/account/api-key)
+
+## Unlimited Access
+
+Syncfusion<sup>&reg;</sup> offers unlimited access to this MCP server. There are no restrictions on:
+
+  * Number of requests
+  *	Components usage
+  *	Query types
+  *	Usage duration
+
+This ensures users can fully leverage Syncfusion<sup>&reg;</sup> components to enhance their development experience without limitations.
+
+## Installation and setup
+
+Before you can invoke the ```SyncfusionDocumentSDKAssistant``` MCP server, you need to configure your MCP client with these core settings. The **Generic MCP Server Settings** shown below are identical across all clients:
+
+### Generic MCP Server Settings
+
+  *	**npm package name**: ```@syncfusion/documentsdk-assistant```
+  *	**Type**: stdio (standard input/output transport)
+  *	**Command**: npx
+  *	**Arguments**: -y
+  *	**Server name**: syncfusionDocumentSDKAssistant
+
+You need to add your [Syncfusion API key](https://syncfusion.com/account/api-key) as an env parameter in the configuration file:
+
+~~~
+  "env": {
+    "Syncfusion_API_Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
+  }
+~~~
+
+<a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/@syncfusion/documentsdk-assistant">SyncfusionDocumentSDKAssistant</a> can be configured in various MCP clients. Below are setup instructions for popular environments:
+
+### Syncfusion<sup>&reg;</sup> Code Studio
+
+  *	In [Code Studio](https://www.syncfusion.com/code-studio/), open MCP Marketplace and navigate to the ```Custom Servers``` tab.
+  *	Enter the Server Name as ```documentsdk-mcp```, choose Server Type as npm package, and set the NPM Package name to ```@syncfusion/documentsdk-assistant```.
+  *	Add an environment variable as ```Syncfusion_API_Key``` and value as your [Syncfusion API key](https://syncfusion.com/account/api-key), then click **Install Server**.
+  *	Once installed, the server will appear in the User Installed Server list and will be added to the **config.yaml** file.
+  *	The server is now ready for use in Code Studio. For more details, refer to the Code Studio [documentation](https://help.syncfusion.com/code-studio/reference/configure-properties/mcp/customservers).
+
+For additional details, see the Code Studio [documentation](https://help.syncfusion.com/code-studio/reference/configure-properties/mcp/customservers).
+
+### VS Code (GitHub Copilot MCP)
+  * To configure an MCP server for a specific workspace, you can create a ```.vscode/mcp.json``` file in your workspace folder.
+
+~~~json
+  {
+  "servers": {
+   "syncfusion-documentsdk-assistant": {   
+    "type": "stdio",
+    "command": "npx",
+    "args": [
+     "-y",
+     "@syncfusion/documentsdk-assistant@latest" 
+    ],
+    "env": {
+     "Syncfusion_API_Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
+     }
+    }
+   }
+  }
+~~~ 
+
+  * After updating the configuration in settings.json, you’ll notice a “Start” option at the top of the config. This allows you to easily start the <a href ="https://www.npmjs.com/package/@syncfusion/documentsdk-assistant">SyncfusionDocumentSDKAssistant</a> server directly from the settings interface without additional commands.
+
+  * Confirm that <a href ="https://www.npmjs.com/package/@syncfusion/documentsdk-assistant">SyncfusionDocumentSDKAssistant</a> is being used (this does not happen automatically). Look for a statement in the output, which is similar to:
+
+      * ```SyncfusionDocumentSDKAssistant is running...``` (in VS Code)
+  * For more details, refer to the official <a href = "https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/mcp-servers?view=vs-2022"> Visual Studio documentation </a>.
+
+### Cursor
+
+To configure an MCP server for a specific workspace, you can create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your workspace folder.
+
+~~~json 
+  {
+   "mcpServers": {
+    "syncfusion-documentsdk-assistant": {
+     "type": "stdio",
+     "command": "npx",
+     "args": [
+     "-y",
+        "@syncfusion/documentsdk-assistant@latest"
+      ],
+      "env": {
+      "Syncfusion_API_Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
+     }
+    }
+   }
+  }
+~~~ 
+For more details, refer to the <a href = "https://docs.cursor.com/en/context/mcp#using-mcp-json">Cursor documentation</a>.
+
+### JetBrains IDEs
+
+  * Go to Settings -> Tools -> AI Assistant -> Model Context Protocol (MCP).
+  * Click + Add to add a new MCP server configuration.
+  * In the New MCP Server dialog, switch the dropdown as ```As JSON``` and add the following config:
+
+~~~json
+  {
+   "mcpServers": {
+    "syncfusion-documentsdk-assistant": {
+     "command": "npx",
+     "args": [
+      "-y",
+      "@syncfusion/documentsdk-assistant@latest"
+     ],
+     "env": {
+     "Syncfusion_API_Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
+     }
+    }
+   }
+  }
+~~~
+
+  * Click OK and Apply.
+
+For further assistance, see the <a href ="https://www.jetbrains.com/help/ai-assistant/mcp.html#connect-to-an-mcp-server">JetBrains documentation</a>.
+
+> For more detailed information about configuring MCP servers in various clients, refer to the official documentations, e.g., [Windsurf](https://docs.windsurf.com/windsurf/cascade/mcp#mcp-config-json)
+
+## Usage
+
+To activate the SyncfusionDocumentSDKAssistant MCP server:
+
+  1. Start your prompt with one of the following:
+      * ‘SyncfusionDocumentSDKAssistant’
+      * ‘/syncfusion-document-assistant’
+      *	‘/syncfusion-documentsdk’
+      *	‘@syncfusion-documentsdk’
+      *	‘@ask_syncfusion_documentsdk’
+
+     In VS Code, you can also use #SyncfusionDocumentSDKAssistant to explicitly invoke the MCP server.
+     
+  2. Grant the SyncfusionDocumentSDKAssistant MCP server a permission to run for this session, workspace, or always.
+  3. For best results, start a new chat for each new topic to maintain clean context.
+
+### Mode availability
+
+Syncfusion® MCP Servers provide full access to all AI interaction modes — Ask/Chat, Edit, and Agent — across supported MCP clients.
+
+### Best Practices for Effective Usage
+
+  1. ```Be specific```: Mention both platform and component (e.g., "How to digitally sign a PDF document using Syncfusion PDF library in .NET Core app?").
+  2. ```Provide context:``` Include details about your use case for more targeted solutions.
+  3. ```Use descriptive queries```: Avoid vague questions that lack necessary context.
+  4. ```Start fresh for new topics```: Begin a new chat session when switching components or topics
+
+### Example Queries
+
+Here are some effective ways to use <a href ="https://www.npmjs.com/package/@syncfusion/documentsdk-assistant">SyncfusionDocumentSDKAssistant</a>:
+
+  * "Create an Excel file with formulas, charts, and conditional formatting using Syncfusion in WPF." 
+  * "How to perform a mail merge in a Word document using Syncfusion Word library?"
+  * "Extract text and images from an existing PDF using Syncfusion."
+  * "How do I convert a Word document to PDF using Syncfusion in Blazor app?"
+  * "Using Syncfusion, how can I combine multiple PowerPoint presentations into one in a WinUI application?"
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you encounter issues:
+
+  *	Verify your API key is correctly configured.
+  *	Ensure the MCP server is enabled in your client’s tools selection.
+  *	Check that you’re using a compatible MCP client version.
+  *	Try restarting your development environment.
