Groupdocs Redaction Mcp
Redact PII, annotations, and sensitive image regions in documents via agent-driven GroupDocs.Redaction before external release.
Overview
GroupDocs Redaction MCP is a MCP server for the Ship phase that lets AI agents redact text, metadata, annotations, and image areas in documents on disk.
What is this MCP server?
- Stdio MCP server (GroupDocs.Redaction.Mcp 26.5.1) published on NuGet for agent hosts
- Redact visible text, document metadata, annotations, and defined image areas in one toolchain
- Processes files from GROUPDOCS_MCP_STORAGE_PATH with optional dedicated GROUPDOCS_MCP_OUTPUT_PATH
- Supports evaluation mode or licensed runs via GROUPDOCS_LICENSE_PATH (GroupDocs.Total.lic)
- Complements metadata-only MCP when you need black-box redaction on body content and scans
- Package GroupDocs.Redaction.Mcp version 26.5.1; stdio MCP transport
- Documented redaction surfaces: text, metadata, annotations, image areas
- Shared trio of env vars: GROUPDOCS_MCP_STORAGE_PATH, GROUPDOCS_MCP_OUTPUT_PATH, GROUPDOCS_LICENSE_PATH
What problem does it solve?
Manually redacting PDFs and mixed media docs for clients or regulators does not scale when your agent already handles the rest of your release checklist.
Who is it for?
Founders and consultants who must scrub PII from contracts, screenshots, and Office files before sending them outside the org.
Skip if: Builders who only need lightweight PDF highlight markup without permanent redaction or GroupDocs licensing footprint.
What do I get? / Deliverables
You get redacted document outputs in your configured folder while the agent keeps an auditable description of what was masked.
- Redacted document files saved under output or storage path
- Agent-visible confirmation of redaction operations on text, metadata, annotations, or image areas

How it compares
Permanent document redaction MCP, not a markdown linter or secrets scanner for source code.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is GroupDocs Redaction MCP for?
Solo builders and small teams that ship document-heavy products or client work and want redaction steps inside Claude Code, Cursor, or similar MCP hosts.
When should I use GroupDocs Redaction MCP?
Use it in Ship security when attachments, exports, or compliance bundles still contain names, account numbers, or screenshot regions that must be blacked out before delivery.
How do I add GroupDocs Redaction MCP to my agent?
Add GroupDocs.Redaction.Mcp as a stdio MCP server from NuGet, configure storage (and optional output and license) environment variables, place source files in the storage path, and invoke redaction tools from your agent.
