{
  "mcpServers": {
    "groupdocs-metadata": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "dnx",
      "args": ["[email protected]", "--yes"],

Alternatively, add manually to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "storage_path",
      "description": "Base folder for input and output files.",
      "password": false
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "groupdocs-metadata": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "dnx",
      "args": ["[email protected]", "--yes"],
      "env": {
        "GROUPDOCS_MCP_STORAGE_PATH": "${input:storage_path}"
      }
    }
  }
}
