Frequently asked questions about the Paperless-ngx MCP Server

Can I search for documents using specific tags or date ranges?

Yes. The list_documents tool allows you to filter by tags__id__in and created__date__gte. You can also perform a full-text search using the query parameter.

Is it possible to see a preview of a document without downloading the whole file?

Absolutely. Use the preview_document or thumb_document tools to get visual representations of the document content directly through the agent.

Can I create new organization categories like tags or correspondents via AI?

Yes, you have full management capabilities. You can use create_tag, create_correspondent, and create_document_type to organize your archive on the fly.

How it works

Infrastructure

Hosted, sandboxed, and live on AWS. You don't provision anything. You don't maintain anything. You connect.

Visibility

Every tool call, every token, every response. Logged and auditable. Data flows direct from Paperless-ngx to your agent. Nothing is stored on our side. Ever.

Control

Eight governance layers on every request. Sensitive data redacted before it reaches the model. Kill switch if anything goes sideways. Always on.
