SDK, Cloud, or MCP Leave feedback

Use this page to pick a line. They are not interchangeable, and this Java documentation describes only the on-premise SDK.

Choose the on-premise Java SDK when your application calls the library on the JVM.

• Package: com.groupdocs:groupdocs-redaction
• Repository: https://releases.groupdocs.com/java/repo/
• Install: Installation
• Examples: https://github.com/groupdocs-redaction/GroupDocs.Redaction-for-Java
• API reference: https://reference.groupdocs.com/redaction/java/

Choose Cloud when you want the hosted REST line instead of the on-premise JAR. Cloud is a separate product. This repository does not document Cloud APIs.

• Java Cloud: https://products.groupdocs.cloud/redaction/java

Choose MCP when an AI client should call redaction tools. The MCP server is not the Java SDK. Do not copy MCP tool schemas into Java application code.

• Server repository: https://github.com/groupdocs-redaction/GroupDocs.Redaction.Mcp
• MCP docs: https://docs.groupdocs.com/redaction/mcp/

The browser app is neither the SDK nor Cloud:
