Local development

git clone https://github.com/documentero/documentero-mcp.git
cd documentero-mcp
npm install
npm run build
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "documentero": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/documentero-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "DOCUMENTERO_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "DOCUMENTERO_BASE_URL": "https://app.documentero.com/api"

Typical agent flow

  1. list_templates → pick a templateId (respect kind / allowedFormats)
  2. get_template_fields → shape data from jsonSchema (use fieldDefinitions for extra context like HTML/Markdown/image/link/QR rules)
  3. generate_document → download URL (or embedded base64)

Smoke test

npm run build
DOCUMENTERO_API_KEY=your-key npm run smoke

Notes

  • Thin client of the public Cloud API (/api/templates, /api/meta, /api/generate). Quotas and rate limits are enforced by Documentero as usual.
  • Do not put the API key in tool arguments — keep it in MCP env only.
  • Word templates support output format: docx / pdf; Excel templates support output format: xlsx only.
  • Remote Streamable HTTP hosting (https://mcp.documentero.com/mcp) is planned; this release is stdio only.
