A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for creating, reading, and manipulating Microsoft Word documents. This server enables AI assistants to work with Word documents through a standardized interface, providing rich document editing capabilities.
Office-Word-MCP-Server implements the Model Context Protocol to expose Word document operations as tools and resources. It serves as a bridge between AI assistants and Microsoft Word documents, allowing for document creation, content addition, formatting, and analysis.
The server features a modular architecture that separates concerns into core functionality, tools, and utilities, making it highly maintainable and extensible for future enhancements.
