Doc Manager Overview

Doc Manager stores personal documents and attachments in Azure Blob Storage, encrypting client-side with AES-256-GCM. Its MCP endpoint lets Claude list, fetch, search, create, update, and manage plaintext documents, while encrypted document contents remain inaccessible to Claude. The MCP endpoint uses OAuth 2.1 with GitHub as the identity provider.
