## Description
Generate DOCX and PDF documents from your DocMake templates

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **list_templates** — List the templates in your workspace, with search and pagination
- **get_template** — A template's field tree: every variable it expects, ready to map to render data
- **render_document** — Render a template to PDF or DOCX and save the file locally
- **create_template** — Create a new template from a document schema JSON
- **import_docx** — Import a local .docx file as a new template (base64 on the remote server)
- **get_usage** — Plan, render quota, and rate limits for the current billing period

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Install path detected from listing signals. Uses `npx` (confidence: high):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "docmake": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","@docmake/mcp@latest"]
  }
}
```

## Documentation & README

# @docmake/mcp

Official [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server for [DocMake](https://docmake.io), the AI-native document generation platform. It lets AI assistants like Claude generate DOCX and PDF documents from your DocMake templates: no glue code, just a conversation.

> "Generate the invoice for Acme Corp: 10 hours of consulting at 100 EUR, due in 14 days."

The assistant picks your invoice template, fills in the data, renders a PDF through the DocMake API, and hands you the file path.

## Example prompts

- "Generate the invoice for Acme Corp: 10 hours of consulting at 100 EUR, due in 14 days."
- "Which fields does my employment contract template need? Then fill it in for Maria Ionescu, starting 1 October, and save it as a DOCX."
- "Import ~/Documents/quarterly-report.docx as a DocMake template, then show me the variables it found."

## Setup

You need a DocMake API key. Create one at [app.docmake.io](https://app.docmake.io) under Settings > API Keys (free plan works).

### Claude Desktop

Add to `claude_desktop_config.json` (Settings > Developer > Edit Config):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docmake": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@docmake/mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "DOCMAKE_API_KEY": "dm_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add docmake --env DOCMAKE_API_KEY=dm_your_key_here -- npx -y @docmake/mcp@latest
```

### Cursor / other MCP clients

Any client that supports stdio MCP servers works with the same command: `npx -y @docmake/mcp@latest` with `DOCMAKE_API_KEY` in the environment.

### Remote server (no install)

DocMake also hosts the same six tools over streamable HTTP, so a client that
speaks remote MCP needs nothing installed:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docmake": {
      "url": "https://app.docmake.io/mcp/v1",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer dm_your_key_here" }
    }
  }
}
```

Two differences from this package. `render_document` returns a short-lived
download link instead of writing the file to your machine, and `import_docx`
takes the document as base64 rather than a path, because the server runs
remotely and cannot read your disk. Everything else, including strict
rendering, behaves the same.

## Configuration

| Variable | Required | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| `DOCMAKE_API_KEY` | yes | | API key from app.docmake.io, Settings > API Keys |
| `DOCMAKE_OUTPUT_DIR` | no | `~/Downloads/DocMake` | Where rendered documents are saved |
| `DOCMAKE_API_BASE` | no | `https://app.docmake.io/api/v1` | API base URL, override for self-hosted setups |

## Tools

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| `list_templates` | List the templates in your workspace, with search and pagination |
| `get_template` | A template's field tree: every variable it expects, ready to map to render data |
| `render_document` | Render a template to PDF or DOCX and save the file locally |
| `create_template` | Create a new template from a document schema JSON |
| `import_docx` | Import a local .docx file as a new template (base64 on the remote server) |
| `get_usage` | Plan, render quota, and rate limits for the current billing period |

The server also exposes your templates as MCP resources and ships a `generate-document` prompt for a guided render flow.

## How rendering works

`render_document` is strict by default: if any template variable has no value in `data`, the render fails and returns the list of missing keys, so the assistant can ask you for the values instead of producing an incomplete document. Pass `strict: false` to render with each variable's fallback text instead.

Variables can declare a default value in the template editor. A defaulted variable never counts as missing: omit it from `data` and the default is rendered, even in strict mode. `get_template` shows each field's `default` (and `example`, a preview-only sample that is never rendered).

Rendered files are saved to `DOCMAKE_OUTPUT_DIR` and never overwrite an existing file.

## Privacy Policy

Full policy: [https://docmake.io/privacy](https://docmake.io/privacy)

**What this server collects.** Nothing of its own. It has no telemetry and no
analytics, and it never reads your chat history, memory, or files other than a
`.docx` you explicitly pass to `import_docx`.

**What it sends, and where.** Every tool call is a request to the DocMake API at
`https://app.docmake.io/api/v1` over HTTPS, authenticated with your API key.
Those requests carry only what the call needs: a template id, the data you asked
to render, or the `.docx` you asked to import. DocMake processes that data to
render your document.

**Storage and retention.** Your templates and account data live in your DocMake
workspace and are retained until you delete them or close the account. Rendered
documents are written to your own machine, under `DOCMAKE_OUTPUT_DIR`
(`~/Downloads/DocMake` by default), and are never uploaded anywhere else. Your
API key stays on your machine: the desktop extension keeps it in your operating
system keychain, and a manual setup keeps it in your MCP client's config file.

**Third-party sharing.** Render data is not sold, and it is not shared with
third parties beyond the subprocessors DocMake needs to run the service, listed
in the full policy.

**Contact.** support@docmake.io for privacy questions, data export, or deletion.
