Best for
- Parsing PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, CSV, and HTML into structured DoclingDocument, Markdown, or JSON output
- PDF table structure, OCR-enabled conversion, and derived structured-document workflows
Not ideal for
- Editing the original PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, or CSV source file
- Clients that cannot use the current MCP SDK v2-compatible Docling MCP 3.x release
Avoid if
- Remote conversion would send sensitive documents to an endpoint whose retention and access controls you have not approved
- You cannot constrain or review update and delete operations on cached DoclingDocument content
Trade-offs
- Local mode keeps conversion on the host but installs the larger Docling stack; remote mode is lighter but sends documents to Docling Serve.
- A rich conversion and generation surface improves task fit while increasing the permissions and failure modes that need review.
