Word Tools MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI-powered Word document manipulation capabilities. This server implements the MCP protocol to enable AI applications to create, edit, and manage Word documents through natural language interactions.

Features

• Full MCP protocol implementation
• Word document creation and management
• Rich text content manipulation
• Table creation and formatting
• Document layout control
• Document metadata management
• Real-time document state monitoring

Prerequisites

• Node.js 14 or higher
• Microsoft Word (optional, for advanced features)

Installation

npx @puchunjie/doc-tools-mcp

Or install globally:

npm install -g @puchunjie/doc-tools-mcp

For use as a dependency in your project:

npm install @puchunjie/doc-tools-mcp

Usage

1. Start the MCP server:

npx @puchunjie/doc-tools-mcp

2. The server will start on port 8765 by default

3. Configure your AI application (e.g., Cursor, VSCode) to use the MCP server:

   http://localhost:8765
   

MCP Tools

The server provides the following MCP functions:

• create_document - Create a new Word document

  • Parameters: filePath (required), title, author

• open_document - Open an existing Word document

  • Parameters: filePath (required)

• add_paragraph - Add a paragraph to the document

  • Parameters: filePath (required), text (required), style, alignment

• add_table - Add a table to the document

  • Parameters: filePath (required), rows (required), cols (required), headers, data

• search_and_replace - Find and replace text in the document

  • Parameters: filePath (required), searchText (required), replaceText (required), matchCase

• set_page_margins - Set document page margins

  • Parameters: filePath (required), top, right, bottom, left

• get_document_info - Get document metadata

  • Parameters: filePath (required)

Integration with AI Applications

Cursor

1. Open the Cursor configuration file ~/.cursor/mcp.json
2. Add the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "doc-tools-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@puchunjie/doc-tools-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Or for local development version:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "doc-tools-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/your/doc-tools-mcp/dist/mcp-server.js"
      ]
    }
  }
}

After configuration, you can use natural language to manipulate Word documents:

"Create a new document named report.docx"
"Add a heading 'Monthly Report' to report.docx"
"Insert a 4x3 table with sales data"

VSCode and Other MCP-Compatible Tools

Similar integration steps apply to other tools that support the MCP protocol. Consult your tool’s documentation for specific MCP server configuration steps.
