Docling MCP: making docling agentic

A document processing service using the Docling-MCP library and MCP (Model Context Protocol) for tool integration.

Overview

Docling MCP is a service that provides tools for document conversion, processing and generation. It uses the Docling library to convert PDF documents into structured formats and provides a caching mechanism to improve performance. The service exposes functionality through a set of tools that can be called by client applications.

Compatibility

docling-mcp	MCP Python SDK
`>=3.0.0`	`mcp>=2.0.0`
`>=2.0.0,<3.0.0`	`mcp>=1.9.4,<2.0.0`

If your MCP client application has not yet migrated to MCP SDK v2, pin:

pip install "docling-mcp<3.0.0"

See MIGRATION.md for the full migration guide.

Installation Options

Remote Mode (Recommended - Lightweight)

For users with access to Docling Serve API:

Getting Docling Serve: Visit docling-serve for installation guides. You can deploy it from published container images or look for managed Docling SaaS offerings.

pip install docling-mcp

Then configure your environment:

export DOCLING_MCP_SERVICE_URL=https://your-docling-service.example.com
export DOCLING_MCP_SERVICE_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
export DOCLING_MCP_CONVERSION_MODE=remote

Local Mode (Full Features)

For users who need local conversion or don't have Docling Serve access:

pip install docling-mcp[local]

Then configure your environment:

export DOCLING_MCP_CONVERSION_MODE=local

Hybrid Mode (Best of Both)

Install with local support and enable automatic fallback:

pip install docling-mcp[local]

Configure for remote with fallback:

export DOCLING_MCP_SERVICE_URL=https://your-docling-service.example.com
export DOCLIN
