word

This MCP server provides a set of Word (.docx) editing tools and a Word-to-PDF conversion capability. You can list, read, modify, delete, and convert Word documents, with all file operations supported via absolute or relative paths. The word_to_pdf tool preserves formatting and images when converting to PDF, using LibreOffice in headless mode. Tools include: list_files_in_folder to enumerate files in a folder, read_word_content to extract text from a .docx, replace_word_words to perform text replacements and save a new file, delete_word_file to remove a Word document, and word_to_pdf to generate a PDF from a Word file. The server expects file paths relative to the current working directory of the process, with no pre-selected working folder concept.

Prerequisites:

• Node.js and npm installed on your system.
• LibreOffice installed for Word to PDF conversion.

Installation steps:

1. Install dependencies: npm install

2. Install LibreOffice for Word → PDF conversion: npm run install-libreoffice

3. Build the server: npm run build

4. (Optional) Start in watch mode for auto-rebuild during development: npm run watch

5. Run the server (example): node build/index.js

Notes and tips:

• The Word to PDF conversion relies on LibreOffice being available in your system path. If it's not detected, ensure LibreOffice is installed and accessible by the process environment.
• All file paths can be absolute or relative to the process working directory. There is no reserved working folder anymore.
• When deploying, ensure the container or host has enough permissions to read/write the specified file paths and to execute LibreOffice in headless mode.
• Debugging MCP servers uses standard IO; for a richer debugging experience, consider using the MCP Inspector tool referenced in the README.
