Docling MCP can be easily integrated into MCP-compatible clients using standard configuration methods.
Claude for Desktop supports integration via the claude_desktop_config.json file (located at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json in MacOS). By adding the appropriate Docling MCP endpoint and parameters to this configuration, Claude Desktop can connect to and utilize Docling MCP’s functionality with minimal effort. You can find an example of those details here.
Once installed, extend Claude for Desktop so that it can read from your computer's file system, by following the For Claude Desktop Users tutorial.
LM Studio supports MCP tools and allows to run your agentic workloads completely locally. The configuration is done by editing the mcp.json file, or with the convenience button below.
