Nutrient DWS MCP Server

Give AI agents the power to process, sign, and transform documents. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI assistants to the Nutrient Document Web Service (DWS) Processor API - enabling document creation, editing, conversion, digital signing, OCR, redaction, and more through natural language. Its 8 documented tools cover document, tree.

People connecting AI & ML tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Nutrient DWS MCP Server

before you install - you'll need

Set SANDBOX_PATH, NUTRIENT_DWS_API_KEY before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add pspdfkit-nutrient-dws-mcp-server -- npx -y @nutrient-sdk/dws-mcp-server

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pspdfkit-nutrient-dws-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@nutrient-sdk/dws-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package @nutrient-sdk/dws-mcp-server - the @nutrient-sdk scope differs from the repo owner (pspdfkit); confirm it's the project's official package

registry namespace io.github.PSPDFKit is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

document_processor · document_signer

Parse

1 tool - e.g. Structured data extraction (DWS Data Extraction API): typed JSON elements with bounding boxes and confidence, or whole-document Markdown

parse_document

Extract

1 tool - e.g. Schema-guided field extraction (DWS Data Extraction API): pulls specific named fields into a JSON shape you define, with per-field citations

extract_fields

Redactor

1 tool - e.g. AI redaction for detecting and permanently removing sensitive content such as names, addresses, SSNs, emails, and custom criteria

ai_redactor

Check

1 tool - e.g. Read-only account lookup for current DWS credits and usage. No document content is uploaded

check_credits

Sandbox

1 tool - e.g. Read-only view of files inside the configured sandbox directory
