Nutrient Document Engine MCP Server

Overview

Nutrient Document Engine MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that connects to a self-hosted Nutrient Document Engine instance, letting MCP-compatible AI assistants extract, edit, redact, and annotate documents programmatically. Any compatible AI can call the server's tools directly during conversations or agent runs, with the model deciding when and how to use them.

The server runs locally via the npm package @nutrient-sdk/document-engine-mcp-server and communicates over stdio. You'll need to set two environment variables: DOCUMENT_ENGINE_BASE_URL and DOCUMENT_ENGINE_API_AUTH_TOKEN for API key authentication. Version v0.0.3 is available under the MIT license, with source code at PSPDFKit/nutrient-document-engine-mcp-server on GitHub, where it has 61 stars.

Listed under AI & Agents on mcp.site, Nutrient Document Engine MCP Server works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and others. If you maintain this server at PSPDFKit, claim this listing to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
