Overview

What is Quip MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables direct interaction with Quip documents from AI assistants like Claude. It bridges Claude and Quip by receiving requests through the MCP protocol, executing a Python script with appropriate parameters, and returning results to the assistant.

Once connected, tools such as quip_read_document, quip_append_content, quip_prepend_content, and quip_replace_content become available to Claude.

Frequently asked questions

What prerequisites are needed?

Node.js v18 or higher, TypeScript, Python with the `quip` library installed, and a valid Quip access token.

How do I authenticate with Quip?

Set the `QUIP_ACCESS_TOKEN` environment variable to your Quip access token and `QUIP_BASE_URL` to `https://platform.quip.com`.

Is the create document feature fully supported?

No. The `quip_create_document` tool is currently unsupported and redirects to the Quip web interface instead of creating documents programmatically.

Does the server require a Python script?

Yes, it expects a Python script called `quip_edit_fixed.py` that supports `read`, `append`, `prepend`, and `replace` operations. The script’s path is defined by the `PYTHON_SCRIPT_PATH` constant.

What tools does the server expose to Claude?

Five tools: `quip_read_document`, `quip_append_content`, `quip_prepend_content`, `quip_replace_content`, and `quip_create_document` (unsupported).
