## ๐ฏ API Examples
### Enhanced Document Reading
```javascript
const result = await mcp.call("read_word_document", {
filePath: "./document.docx",
memoryKey: "my-doc",
documentType: "api-doc",
extractTables: true, // Extract tables
extractImages: true, // Extract and OCR images
useCache: true, // Use smart caching
outputDir: "./output" // Output directory for extracted images
});
```
### Advanced Search
```javascript
const searchResults = await mcp.call("search_documents", {
query: "table configuration",
documentType: "api-doc",
limit: 10
});
```
### Cache Management
```javascript
// Get cache statistics
const stats = await mcp.call("get_cache_stats");
// Clear specific cache type
await mcp.call("clear_cache", {
type: "document" // "all", "document", "index"
});
```
## ๐ Performance Improvements
| Feature | Basic Version | Enhanced Version | Improvement |
|---------|---------------|------------------|-------------|
| Large Document Processing | Serial | Parallel | 60%+ faster |
| Repeated Document Access | No Cache | Smart Cache | 90%+ faster |
| Table Recognition | Manual | Automatic | New feature |
| Image Analysis | Not supported | OCR with preprocessing | New feature |

## ๐ง Technical Details
### Table Extraction Algorithm
1. XML parsing of document structure
2. Table boundary detection
3. Cell content extraction
4. Row/column relationship mapping
5. Structured data output
### OCR Processing Pipeline
1. Image extraction from document
2. Preprocessing (noise reduction, contrast enhancement)
3. Text region detection
4. Character recognition with Tesseract.js v5
5. Post-processing and confidence scoring
### Caching Strategy
- **Document Cache**: Parsed document content with TTL
- **Index Cache**: Search index for fast retrieval
- **Image Cache**: Processed images with OCR results
- **Smart Invalidation**: File modification time based
### Parallel Processing
- Worker threads for CPU-intensive tasks
- Chunked memory management
- Concurrent table and image processing
- Resource pooling for efficiency
## ๐งช Testing Enhanced Features
```bash
# Run all tests
npm test
# Test specific features
node --test tests/integration/tools/
node --test tests/integration/cache/
# Performance benchmarks
node tests/benchmark/
```
## ๐ Monitoring and Debugging
### Enable Debug Mode
```bash
DEBUG=* node server.js
```
### Performance Metrics
```javascript
const stats = await mcp.call("get_cache_stats");
console.log("Cache hit rate:", stats.hitRate);
console.log("Average processing time:", stats.avgProcessingTime);
```
### Resource Usage
- Memory usage: `process.memoryUsage()`
- Cache statistics: Built-in monitoring
- Processing time: Automatic tracking
## ๐ Security Enhancements
- File type validation
- Size limits enforcement
- Memory usage protection
- Temporary file cleanup
- Cache isolation
## ๐ Migration Guide
### From Basic Version
1. Install additional dependencies:
```bash
npm install tesseract.js node-cache sharp jszip
```
2. Update server reference:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"word-doc-reader": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["path/to/word-doc-mcp/server.js"]
}
}
}
```
3. Optional: Configure `config.json`
### Performance Tuning
1. **For Large Documents**
```json
{
"processing": {
"maxFileSize": 20971520, // 20MB
"chunkSize": 2097152, // 2MB chunks
"parallelProcessing": true
}
}
```
2. **For OCR Accuracy**
```json
{
"ocr": {
"enabled": true,
"languages": ["chi_sim", "eng"],
"preprocessing": true
}
}
```
3. **For Cache Optimization**
```json
{
"cache": {
"enabled": true,
"defaultTTL": 7200, // 2 hours
"maxCacheSize": 1073741824 // 1GB
}
}
```
## ๐จ Troubleshooting Enhanced Features
### OCR Issues
- Ensure sufficient memory (8GB+ recommended)
- Check image format support
- Verify language pack installation
### Large Document Processing
- Increase available memory
- Enable parallel processing
- Adjust chunk size
### Cache Problems

## ๐ Advanced Usage
### Custom Document Types
```javascript
const result = await mcp.call("read_word_document", {
filePath: "./technical-spec.docx",
memoryKey: "tech-spec",
documentType: "technical-doc", // Custom type
extractTables: true,
extractImages: false // Skip images for speed
});
```
### Batch Processing
```javascript
const documents = ["doc1.docx", "doc2.docx", "doc3.docx"];
const results = await Promise.all(
documents.map(doc =>
mcp.call("read_word_document", {
filePath: doc,
memoryKey: doc.replace('.docx', ''),
documentType: "batch-doc"
})
)
);
```
