From the repository

Install with go install github.com/drolosoft/go-docs-mcp@latest. Configure the document directory via the DOCS_MCP_DIR environment variable (default ~/.docs-mcp/documents/). The server communicates over stdio and can be added to Claude Code or Claude Desktop settings, or used directly with any MCP client.

Every other document MCP server handles one format — a PDF server for PDFs, a DOCX server for DOCX. You'd need three tools to read three formats. go-docs-mcp reads them all from a single binary.
