Office Word MCP Server

Content

Office Word MCP Server lets MCP clients create, inspect, format, convert, merge, protect, and manipulate Microsoft Word documents. It exposes document management, content creation, rich text formatting, table formatting, comments, footnotes, endnotes, document protection, and conversion operations.

The upstream README documents local installation and uvx usage through the office-word-mcp-server PyPI package. The package exposes the word_mcp_server command for MCP clients.

Installation

For MCP clients that launch stdio servers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "word-document-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "office-word-mcp-server", "word_mcp_server"]
    }
  }
}

Restart the MCP client after adding the server.

Use Cases

• Ask Claude to create a structured report or proposal document.
• Extract comments, outline, and document statistics for review.
• Apply consistent formatting to headings, paragraphs, and tables.
• Merge several documents into one draft.
• Convert a reviewed document to PDF.
• Add or inspect document protection and signature metadata.

Safety and Privacy

Document automation can quickly change important files. Keep backups, use a review step before sharing outputs, and require human approval before signing, protecting, converting, merging, deleting, or broadly reformatting important documents.

Word files can contain sensitive text, comments, metadata, embedded images, signatures, and hidden context. Review generated files, extracted comments, and conversion output before sharing them outside the trusted project boundary.
