Origins

This project was born from ForLegalAI/mcp-ms-office-documents (MIT license). It diverged in scope and philosophy:

	ForLegalAI (upstream)	docforge-mcp
Goal	One-shot document generation	Full document lifecycle
Read	❌	✅ Read any DOCX/XLSX/PPTX
Edit	❌	✅ Edit paragraphs, cells, slides
Convert	❌	✅ DOCX→PDF
Templates	Simple `{{var}}`	Conditionals + loops
Transport	Docker + HTTP only	stdio + HTTP
Install	Docker	`uvx docforge-mcp`

We continue to contribute compatible features upstream (PRs #57, #58, #59) while developing the full toolkit independently.

Development

git clone https://github.com/filhocf/docforge-mcp.git
