Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@docx_mcp_server_tsExtract all text from the DOCX file"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
DOCX MCP Server
A comprehensive TypeScript-based MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for universal DOCX processing with full OOXML support. Process Word documents programmatically with support for text, tables, images, headers/footers, SDTs, comments, and more.
Features
Complete OOXML Access: Read/write DOCX parts at ZIP level with full namespace support
Text Operations: Extract, find, and replace text with minimal diff preservation
Table Management: Insert/delete rows, modify cells, merge/split operations
Image Handling: Add inline/positioned images with EMU-based sizing
Structured Data Tags (SDT): Access content controls by tag or alias
Headers/Footers: List and modify section headers and footers
Track Changes: Accept/reject revisions, handle insertions/deletions
Comments: Manage document comments
Metadata: Read/write core and app properties
LRU Caching: Efficient memory management with part caching
Lossless XML: Preserves document structure with fast-xml-parser
Related MCP server: mcp-office-parser

1 mm ≈ 36,000 EMU
1 point ≈ 12,700 EMU
Examples
Extract and Replace Text
// Open document
const openResult = await client.call('docx.open', {
path: '/tmp/document.docx'
});
const docId = openResult.docId;
// Get text
const textResult = await client.call('docx.get_text', { docId });
console.log(textResult.text);
// Replace text
await client.call('docx.replace_text', {
docId,
match: 'old text',
replace: 'new text',
mode: 'literal'
});
// Save
await client.call('docx.save', {
docId,
path: '/tmp/document-modified.docx'
});
// Close
await client.call('docx.close', { docId });Modify Table
// List tables
const tablesResult = await client.call('docx.tables_list', { docId });
const tableXPath = tablesResult.tables[0].tableXPath;
// Update cell
await client.call('docx.table_edit', {
docId,
tableXPath,
op: {
kind: 'setCellText',
row: 0,
col: 0,
text: 'Updated Value'
}
});
// Insert row
await client.call('docx.table_edit', {
docId,
tableXPath,
op: {
kind: 'insertRow',
at: 1
}
});Add Image
const fs = require('fs').promises;
const imageBuffer = await fs.readFile('/path/to/image.png');
const base64 = imageBuffer.toString('base64');
await client.call('docx.image_add', {
docId,
target: {
afterParagraphXPath: '//w:p[1]'
},
image: {
base64,
filename: 'image.png',
contentType: 'image/png'
},
placement: {
kind: 'inline'

Memory: LRU cache limits per-document parts to 50 cached items
Total Size: Supports documents up to 100MB in-memory
Partial Access: Only requested parts are parsed from ZIP
Minimal Diffs: Text replacements preserve run structure when possible
Limitations
Page layout calculations are not performed (Word's rendering engine needed)
Advanced DrawingML transformations are read-only
VBA macros and embedded OLE objects not supported
Extremely large documents (>500MB) may require streaming
