Key features
- 01Create and open Word documents
- 02Add paragraphs with style and alignment
- 03Create and format tables
- 04Find and replace text
- 05Set margins and read metadata

MCP support
The MCP server exposes tools for compatible clients to create, open, and edit Word documents, including paragraph and table operations, text replacement, and document information retrieval.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEWord 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
- Start the MCP server:
npx @puchunjie/doc-tools-mcp
-
The server will start on port 8765 by default
-
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
- Open the Cursor configuration file
~/.cursor/mcp.json - 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.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
