Word MCP Live
Bridges Claude and other MCP clients to Microsoft Word via COM on Windows and JXA on macOS, exposing 124 tools for live document manipulation. You can write, format, and track changes in open Word files without the save-close-reopen cycle, with every AI edit mapping to a single undo operation. The server handles threaded comments, cross-references, equations, table operations, and layout diagnostics. It also runs in cross-platform mode for batch processing saved .docx files when Word isn't running. Useful when you need an AI to perform actual document production work, not just generate markdown that you manually paste into Word.
