PaperOffice MCP Server
Give your AI assistant access to your documents — in plain language, in under 60 seconds.

Why this matters
Your documents live in a DMS. Your AI assistant lives in your IDE or chat window. PaperOffice connects the two through the Model Context Protocol — so you can just ask, and the model does the work across every authorized workspace.
"List all unpaid invoices across my workspaces, with totals and overdue flags."
"OCR this scanned contract and extract the signing date and parties."
"Classify these 50 documents and file them by type."No prompt engineering, no API code — the model picks the right PaperOffice tool and runs it.

60-second setup
1 · Auth
You need a PaperOffice account — the free plan is enough to try everything here. No account yet? Create one at app.paperoffice.ai/en/register/ (no credit card).
Claude, ChatGPT and Grok start with OAuth 2.1: the client opens the PaperOffice sign-in, you approve, no token in any file. For Cursor, DMS, or as an alternative: sign in at app.paperoffice.ai, open Account → API and create a User token (po_ut_) or a Group token (po_gt_, limited to the workspaces of one group). po_sk_ and po_pk_ are blocked for MCP.

2 · Paste one URL into your client
Claude Desktop / Anthropic Directory (OAuth 2.1, no key in file) — configs/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"paperoffice": {
"url": "https://mcp.paperoffice.ai/claude"
}
}
}/dms, /cursor and /grok share the Documents Operations catalog (including TTS). /claude is Directory without TTS. /chatgpt (alias /openai) is the ChatGPT connector (Directory without TTS, OTP/unlock).
Full headless DMS (po_ut_ / po_gt_) — configs/dms_mcp.json → /dms. Same catalog as /cursor and /grok.
ChatGPT / Grok (OAuth 2.1, no key in file) — /chatgpt (alias /openai) or /grok (configs/openai_mcp.json, configs/grok_mcp.json). po_ut_ / po_gt_ remains an alternative for /chatgpt.
Everything (300+ MCP tools across every module) — configs/mcp_full.json → /mcp-full.
3 · Ask away
That's it — your AI now works with your documents.
Choose your scope — you decide, not your client
Any client can use any URL. The paths below are convenience profiles, not limits: go full from day one, or pick Directory / ChatGPT policy surfaces when a catalog requires it.
I want… | URL | Surface | Good for |
Everything |
| 300+ | Power users, agents, migration |
Documents Operations |
| 300+ | Canonical DMS URL |
Cursor / Windsurf |
| same as | IDE — full Documents Operations including TTS |
Grok |
| same as | Grok custom connector |
Claude Directory URL |
| Directory without TTS | Claude Desktop / Anthropic Directory |
ChatGPT |
| Directory without TTS, OTP/unlock | ChatGPT Apps SDK |
ChatGPT alias |
| same as | Legacy ChatGPT URL |
Slim IDE subset |
| subset of 300+ | Read-safe default for tool-limited IDEs |
Client shortcuts:
https://mcp.paperoffice.ai/cursor = same Documents Operations catalog as /dms ·
https://mcp.paperoffice.ai/grok = same Documents Operations catalog as /dms ·
https://mcp.paperoffice.ai/claude = Directory without TTS ·
https://mcp.paperoffice.ai/chatgpt = ChatGPT connector (alias https://mcp.paperoffice.ai/openai) ·
https://mcp.paperoffice.ai/mcp = slim IDE subset.
Why scopes at all? Fewer tools = faster, more accurate tool-selection by the model, and some clients enforce a tool-count cap.
/mcpis the slim IDE subset. None of this limits what PaperOffice can do — switch to/mcp-fullanytime for media, CRM and telephony.
Ready-made config files for every profile are in configs/.

Marketplace plugins
Prefer a one-click install? The same server is packaged as a plugin for two marketplaces:
Marketplace | Repository | Endpoint |
Cursor Marketplace |
| |
xAI Plugin Marketplace (Grok Build) |
|
ChatGPT and Claude do not need a repository: connect the /chatgpt or /claude URL directly, or install PaperOffice from their app directories once listed.
Official MCP Registry
PaperOffice is published in the official MCP Registry as io.github.paperoffice-ai/paperoffice-mcp — the manifest is server.json in this repository. Clients and directories that read the registry (VS Code, Glama, PulseMCP and others) find the six lanes there without any manual entry.
# Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http paperoffice https://mcp.paperoffice.ai/dmsAgent Skills
The MCP server supplies the tools; paperoffice-ai/paperoffice-skills supplies the procedures — five SKILL.md files (API integration, invoice extraction, OCR, documents, tool discovery) that load as a Claude Code plugin, a claude.ai skill upload, or inside the Cursor plugin.
What you can do
Area | Examples |
Document AI / IDP | Zero-shot extraction, classification, document chat, PII redaction |
OCR | 120+ languages, layout-aware, searchable PDF & Markdown output |
Headless DMS | Search, read, upload, move, version, tag, sign |
Workflow AI | Tasks, human-in-the-loop approvals, process automation |
Intelligence | Knowledge graph, entities, analytics, BI dashboards |
Why PaperOffice
EU-sovereign — own Tier III data centres in Spain & Germany. GDPR-aligned, no mandatory US cloud.
Zero-shot IDP — extraction without template training, powered by specialized LLMs.
Pay-per-use — transparent credits, no per-seat lock-in.
API-first — 300+ API/MCP-Tools via REST or MCP. MCP uses OAuth 2.1 or a User token (po_ut_ / po_gt_) — see Postman.
24+ years — document management since 2002.
Prefer plain REST?
Paste this into any AI assistant for the full API — it reads the docs and writes the code:
https://api.paperoffice.ai/latest/docs/postmanMachine-readable context: paperoffice.ai/llms.txt · api.paperoffice.ai/latest/docs/llms.txt
Technical notes
Transport: Streamable HTTP (remote MCP) — no stdio, no local process
