Install in your client

Paste into the AI you're chatting with — it will figure out the rest

Please install the `groupdocs-annotation-mcp` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).

Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **.NET 10 SDK** — Install the .NET 10 SDK to run the server natively with dnx or as a global dotnet tool. (https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/10.0/)

Optional prerequisites:
- Native graphics dependencies for Linux — When running natively on Linux, install libgdiplus, libfontconfig1, and ttf-mscorefonts-installer. Not required when using Docker. Run: `sudo apt-get install -y libgdiplus libfontconfig1 ttf-mscorefonts-installer`
- Native graphics dependencies for macOS — When running natively on macOS, install mono-libgdiplus. Not required when using Docker. Run: `brew install mono-libgdiplus`

Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `dnx`
- args: ["GroupDocs.Annotation.Mcp","--yes"]
- optional environment variables:
  - `GROUPDOCS_MCP_STORAGE_PATH`: Base folder for input and output files. Defaults to the current directory. (example: `<your-documents-folder>`)
  - `GROUPDOCS_MCP_OUTPUT_PATH`: Optional separate folder for output files. Defaults to GROUPDOCS_MCP_STORAGE_PATH. (example: `<your-output-folder>`)
  - `GROUPDOCS_LICENSE_PATH`: Path to a GroupDocs license file. If omitted, the server runs in evaluation mode. (example: `<your-license-file-path>`)

Note: Preferred install path is running directly with dnx. To pin a version, replace the package arg with GroupDocs.Annotation.Mcp@<version>. Docker is also supported, but the README does not provide a canonical MCP config command/args/env shape for client config using Docker.

Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.
