Overview

What is docx-mcp?

docx-mcp is an MCP server for reading and editing Word (.docx) documents with full support for track changes, comments, footnotes, and OOXML-level structural validation. It is designed for developers and AI agents who need programmatic control over .docx files.

How to use docx-mcp?

Install via pip (pip install docx-mcp-server) or uvx (uvx docx-mcp-server). Configure the server in your MCP client’s settings JSON (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code), then use the provided tools such as open_document, insert_text, and save_document to interact with .docx files.

Key features of docx-mcp

  • Track changes with proper w:ins/w:del markup for revisions
  • Add, reply to, and read threaded comments
  • Add, list, and validate footnotes
  • Validate paraId uniqueness across all document parts
  • Detect and remove VML watermarks (e.g., DRAFT)
  • Perform comprehensive structural audits (footnotes, headings, bookmarks, images)

Use cases of docx-mcp

  • Editing contracts with tracked changes and client comments
  • Automating document revision workflows with revision marks
  • Auditing document structure for heading and footnote consistency
  • Searching and replacing text across body, footnotes, and comments
  • Removing draft watermarks from document headers programmatically

Frequently asked questions

1

What are the system requirements?

Python 3.10+ and the lxml library are required.

2

How does docx-mcp differ from python-docx?

docx-mcp manipulates OOXML directly, giving full control over track changes (`w:ins`/`w:del`), comments, and structural validation that python-docx does not expose.

3

Can I save changes to a new file?

Yes, the `save_document` tool supports saving to a new path or overwriting the original file.

4

What data does the server access?

Only the .docx files you explicitly open via the `open_document` tool; no remote data is accessed.

5

Is there authentication or a specific transport?

No authentication is required; the server runs locally over standard I/O as an MCP server.
