    "documentero": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/documentero-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "DOCUMENTERO_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "DOCUMENTERO_BASE_URL": "https://app.documentero.com/api"

Environment

VariableRequiredDefaultDescription
DOCUMENTERO_API_KEYyes—Company API key (Account settings)
DOCUMENTERO_BASE_URLnohttps://app.documentero.com/apiCloud API base URL

Typical agent flow

  1. list_templates → pick a templateId (respect kind / allowedFormats)
  2. get_template_fields → shape data from jsonSchema (use fieldDefinitions for extra context like HTML/Markdown/image/link/QR rules)
  3. generate_document → download URL (or embedded base64)

Smoke test

npm run build
DOCUMENTERO_API_KEY=your-key npm run smoke

Notes

  • Thin client of the public Cloud API (/api/templates, /api/meta, /api/generate). Quotas and rate limits are enforced by Documentero as usual.
  • Do not put the API key in tool arguments — keep it in MCP env only.
  • Word templates support output format: docx / pdf; Excel templates support output format: xlsx only.
  • Remote Streamable HTTP hosting (https://mcp.documentero.com/mcp) is planned; this release is stdio only.

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.
