@docmake/mcp

Official Model Context Protocol server for DocMake, 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 under Settings > API Keys (free plan works).

Claude Desktop

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

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

Claude Code

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.

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
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

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.
