office-word-mcp-server
MCP server for manipulating Microsoft Word documents
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need MCP-based Word document manipulation and accept the maintenance risk. The package has low install friction, permissive licensing, and a large feature surface for document creation and formatting. However, the repository is archived and abandoned as of late 2025—no bug fixes or security updates will be released. Install only if the feature set meets your needs and you are comfortable supporting the code yourself or forking it if issues arise.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.11 or higher; runtime dependencies include python-docx, fastmcp, docx2pdf, and msoffcrypto-tool.
- Low friction install with a pure Python wheel, but the repository is archived and marked abandoned—no ongoing maintenance or bug fixes should be expected.

What it is and what it does
Office-Word-MCP-Server is a bridge between AI assistants and Microsoft Word documents, implemented as a Model Context Protocol server. It exposes Word document operations—creation, text insertion, table building, formatting, PDF conversion, and comment extraction—as callable tools that MCP clients can invoke. The server uses python-docx as its core document manipulation library, with fastmcp to implement the MCP protocol layer, and includes support for password protection and document-to-PDF conversion via docx2pdf and msoffcrypto-tool.
The package is designed for scenarios where an AI assistant needs to programmatically create or modify Word documents on behalf of a user. It handles document metadata, rich text formatting, table creation with cell styling and merging, image insertion, lists, headers, footers, and footnotes. However, the repository is now archived and abandoned, meaning no new features or bug fixes will be released—you are working with a snapshot from late 2025.
Use it for
- Enable AI assistants to create formatted Word reports on demand by calling document creation and formatting tools.
- Build automated document generation pipelines where an AI generates structured content into .docx files.
- Allow AI assistants to extract and analyze comments from existing Word documents for review workflows.
- Convert Word documents to PDF format as part of an AI-driven document processing workflow.
- Prototype AI-assisted document editing where an assistant can modify or restructure content in existing .docx files.
