Summary
A document that comes out formatted, not just written.
What it takes off you is the tidying pass in Word afterwards. The agent builds the table, shades its header, merges the cells that need merging and attaches a footnote that renders correctly — and the validation call reports ID conflicts and orphaned notes before you open the file.
What it is
An editor for .docx files on disk. It covers the parts that make a document look finished: table formatting cell by cell, footnotes and endnotes that render as real superscript, custom styles, and password protection.
What you get
- Documents created, copied, listed in a directory, and read back as text, as an outline, or as raw XML
- Content added: paragraphs, headings, images, tables and page breaks, with fonts, sizes, colours and styles
- Insertion relative to existing text — a heading, a line or a list placed before or after the paragraph you name
- Table formatting in depth: borders and shading, alternating row colours, header highlighting, merged cells, per-cell alignment and padding, and column widths set individually or auto-fitted
- Footnotes and endnotes added, checked for ID conflicts and orphaned content, restyled, and deleted with their cleanup
- Find, find-and-replace, paragraph deletion, and block replacement under a heading or between two anchors
- Comments read out of a document — all of them, by author, or for one paragraph
- Custom styles created, password protection applied and removed, and the document converted to PDF
Requirements
Uvx on your PATH, and the .docx files reachable on the machine the server runs on — every call takes a filename rather than an upload.
Setup effort
One command — uvx --from office-word-mcp-server word_mcp_server
