docx-forge-mcp

MCP server for Word document (.docx) creation and manipulation — the production-grade document automation tool for AI agents.

Generate contracts, reports, proposals, and compliance documents directly from agent workflows. No Word installation required.

npm License: MIT MCP Compatible

Why docx-forge-mcp?

Word documents are the default format for contracts, compliance reports, legal agreements, and business proposals — especially in enterprise and government workflows. This MCP server gives AI agents the ability to produce and manipulate .docx files programmatically, without any Office installation, UI automation, or file format guesswork.

Only 1 competitor exists for Word document manipulation via MCP as of 2026. This server fills that gap with a production-quality, fully-tested implementation.

  headingLevel=2

add_table(

)

get_document_stats(filePath="/tmp/report.docx")

Read and inspect an existing document

read_document(filePath="/path/to/existing.docx")
# Returns: { text, paragraphs[], headings[], metadata: { wordCount, fileSizeBytes, ... } }

Merge chapter files into a book

merge_documents(
  filePaths=["/docs/ch1.docx", "/docs/ch2.docx", "/docs/ch3.docx"],
  outputPath="/docs/complete-manual.docx"
)

PDF Export

export_to_pdf requires a system-level converter. It tries in order:

  1. LibreOffice (best fidelity) — sudo apt-get install libreoffice

  2. pandoc — sudo apt-get install pandoc

If neither is available, the tool returns success: false with installation instructions. The source .docx file is always preserved.
