Tools reference

Complete reference of every tool the GroupDocs.Editor MCP server exposes to AI agents, with parameters, example prompts, and results. Captured from a live tools/list call against server version 26.10.0 (raw capture: tools-list.generated.json in this section’s source).

ToolWhat it does
get_document_infoReturns the format family, pages (worksheets, slides), protection and the formats it can be saved to
replace_textFinds and replaces text and saves an edited copy, keeping formatting; one worksheet or slide at a time
extract_htmlTurns a document — or one worksheet, slide or PDF page range — into editable HTML
save_from_htmlSaves edited HTML as a document, or splices one edited worksheet or slide back into the original
get_form_fieldsLists a Word form’s fields with their names, types and current values
fill_form_fieldsFills Word form fields by name and saves a filled copy; reports unknown names
get_supported_formatsLists the formats the engine opens and saves, or the save targets for one file
get_license_statusReports the active licensing mode and, under metered licensing, consumption

The FileInput shape

Every tool takes its document through the same file object — pass either a name from your storage folder or inline content:

{ "file": { "filePath": "contract.docx" } }
FieldTypeDescription
filePathstringFile path or name in the configured storage folder
fileContentstringBase64-encoded file content (alternative to filePath)
fileNamestringOriginal filename with extension — required with fileContent. Since 26.9.0 it also works on its own, resolved from the storage folder exactly like filePath

You rarely write this JSON yourself: the AI agent does, from your plain-language prompt. Missing files are not an error to fear — the tool responds with the list of available files so the agent can correct itself.
