@docujson/mcp

DocuJSON Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Connect AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible tools to DocuJSON for PDF generation, template management, and API key operations via natural language.

What it does

This package is a thin stdio bridge that forwards MCP requests from your AI assistant to the hosted DocuJSON MCP server at https://mcp.docujson.com.

With this connected, you can ask your AI assistant things like:

• "Generate an invoice PDF for Acme Corp with 3 line items totaling $4,500"

• "Create a weekly status report template"

• "Show me my PDF usage this month"

• "List all my custom templates"

• "Revise the invoice template to use a blue header"

Installation

You don't install it directly — your MCP client (Claude Desktop) runs npx @docujson/mcp on demand.

Setup

1. Get a DocuJSON API key

1. Sign up at docujson.com/signup

2. Go to Dashboard → API Keys

3. Create a new key (starts with dj_)

2. Configure your MCP client

Claude Desktop

Edit your Claude Desktop config file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add the DocuJSON server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docujson": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@docujson/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "DOCUJSON_API_KEY": "dj_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. You should see DocuJSON tools available in the tools panel.

Cursor (HTTP — recommended)

Cursor supports the HTTP transport directly, so you don't need this stdio bridge. Use the hosted server URL:

Cursor Settings → MCP → Add server:

• Name: docujson

• URL: https://mcp.docujson.com?apiKey=dj_your_api_key

Continue, Zed, or other MCP clients

Use the HTTP URL if your client supports it. Otherwise use the stdio config pattern from the Claude Desktop example above.

Tools don't show up in Claude Desktop

• Restart Claude Desktop completely

• Check the developer logs: View → Developer → Open Developer Tools
