Groupdocs Metadata Mcp
Let your coding agent inspect and strip EXIF, author, and other metadata from PDFs and Office files before you ship them to users or investors.
Overview
GroupDocs Metadata MCP is a MCP server for the Ship phase that lets AI agents read and remove document metadata from files in a configured local storage folder.
What is this MCP server?
- Stdio MCP server (GroupDocs.Metadata.Mcp 26.5.1) via NuGet for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex
- Read document metadata fields through agent tools without opening files manually
- Remove metadata from supported GroupDocs formats into a configurable output folder
- Filesystem I/O via GROUPDOCS_MCP_STORAGE_PATH and optional GROUPDOCS_MCP_OUTPUT_PATH
- Runs in evaluation mode without GROUPDOCS_LICENSE_PATH or loads GroupDocs.Total.lic for full use
- Server version 26.5.1; NuGet package GroupDocs.Metadata.Mcp; stdio transport
- Three documented environment variables: storage path, optional output path, optional license path
- Registry base URL api.nuget.org v3 index

What problem does it solve?
Hidden metadata in PDFs and Office docs can expose authors, paths, and timestamps when you share files you thought were clean.
Who is it for?
Solo builders automating privacy cleanup on exports, contracts, and downloadable assets through Claude Code or Cursor.
Skip if: Teams that only need in-browser PDF viewing with no agent workflow or no local document folders on the machine running MCP.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can enumerate and strip metadata into controlled output paths before you publish or send documents externally.
- Metadata inspection results your agent can reason over in chat
- Sanitized document copies written to storage or GROUPDOCS_MCP_OUTPUT_PATH

How it compares
Document-metadata MCP integration, not a general file-storage or DAM product.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is GroupDocs Metadata MCP for?
Indie and solo builders who use AI coding agents to prepare PDFs and Office files for external sharing and want metadata read/remove steps in the same session as their repo work.
When should I use GroupDocs Metadata MCP?
Use it during Ship security prep whenever you export user data, ship downloadable templates, or upload docs to a data room and need to verify or delete embedded properties first.
How do I add GroupDocs Metadata MCP to my agent?
Register the GroupDocs.Metadata.Mcp NuGet stdio server in your MCP config, set GROUPDOCS_MCP_STORAGE_PATH (and optional output and license paths), then restart Claude Code or Cursor so the metadata tools appear.
