Quip MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Quip document operations that enables direct interaction with Quip documents from AI assistants like Claude.

Features

Read Documents: Fetch and display Quip document content by ID
Append Content: Add content to the end of existing documents
Prepend Content: Add content to the beginning of documents
Replace Content: Update document content
Create Documents: Intended support for creating new documents (currently redirects to web interface)

How It Works

This MCP server acts as a bridge between Claude and Quip documents. It works by:

Receiving requests from Claude through the MCP protocol
Executing a Python script (quip_edit_fixed.py) with the appropriate parameters
Returning the results back to Claude

Prerequisites

Node.js v18 or higher
TypeScript
Python with quip library installed
A valid Quip access token

Installation

Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/AvinashBole/quip-mcp-server.git cd quip-mcp-server
Install dependencies:
npm install
Build the project:
npm run build
Configure your MCP settings:
{ "mcpServers": { "quip": { "command": "node", "args": ["path/to/quip-server/build/index.js"], "env": { "QUIP_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-quip-access-token", "QUIP_BASE_URL": "https://platform.quip.com" }, "disabled": false, "autoApprove": [] } } }

Usage

Once connected, the following MCP tools become available to Claude:

quip_read_document: Read a Quip document by its thread ID
quip_append_content: Append content to a document
quip_prepend_content: Add content to the beginning of a document
quip_replace_content: Replace document content
quip_create_document: Create a new document (currently unsupported)

Example usage in Claude:

<use_mcp_tool>
<server_name>quip</server_name>
<tool_name>quip_read_document</tool_name>
<arguments>
{
  "threadId": "YOUR_DOCUMENT_ID"
}
</arguments>
</use_mcp_tool>

Python Script Integration

The server expects a Python script called quip_edit_fixed.py in the path specified by the PYTHON_SCRIPT_PATH constant. This script should support the following operations:

read: Read document content
append: Add content to the end of a document
prepend: Add content to the beginning of a document
replace: Update document content
