FAQ from Go Docs Mcp
What formats does Go Docs Mcp support?
PDF, TXT, MD, CSV, DOCX, and images (PNG, JPG, TIFF). TXT, MD, and CSV have zero dependencies; PDF requires poppler; DOCX requires pandoc; images require tesseract.

Go 1.25+ for building, poppler for PDF support, and optionally tesseract for OCR and pandoc for DOCX. TXT, MD, and CSV work out of the box.
How does Go Docs Mcp compare to other document MCP servers?
Unlike single-format servers, Go Docs Mcp handles six formats in one binary and offers OCR, image extraction, table extraction, and URL fetching — all with a single go install command.
Where are documents stored and how is access controlled?
Documents are read from a directory configured via DOCS_MCP_DIR (default ~/.docs-mcp/documents/). The server enforces directory-locked, read-only access with path traversal prevention.
What transport and authentication does Go Docs Mcp use?
It uses stdio transport with JSON-RPC 2.0. No authentication is mentioned; security is handled via directory-locked access and read-only operations.
