Docling MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Docling MCP?
Docling MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package docling-mcp was installed 11 828 times last week.
How do I connect Docling MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls docling-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Docling MCP?
The pypi package docling-mcp was installed 11 828 times in the last week. Week over week that is +21%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Docling MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 703 stars on GitHub and 24 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
