Docgen MCP Server runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 45 installs a week from npm. Last commit 22 Aug 2026.
Render HTML/markdown to PDF, export rows to xlsx, and fill AcroForm PDFs.
Today is the operative word: we check Docgen MCP Server every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
MCP_HTTP_HOST (The hostname for the HTTP server.), MCP_HTTP_PORT (The port to run the HTTP server on.), MCP_HTTP_ENDPOINT_PATH (The endpoint path for the MCP server.), MCP_AUTH_MODE (Authentication mode to use: 'none', 'jwt', or 'oauth'.), MCP_LOG_LEVEL (Sets the minimum log level for output (e.g., 'debug', 'info', 'warn').), DOCGEN_DOCUMENT_TTL_SECONDS (How long a rendered document is retrievable before it expires, in seconds.), DOCGEN_MAX_DOCUMENT_BYTES (Hard ceiling on a single rendered artifact in bytes; exceeding it aborts the render.), DOCGEN_RENDER_TIMEOUT_MS (Per-render wall-clock budget in milliseconds; exceeding it aborts the render.), DOCGEN_INLINE_MAX_BYTES (Artifacts at or under this byte size are returned inline as base64; larger ones omit it.), DOCGEN_PDF_ENGINE (PDF rendering engine. Only 'lightweight' is implemented; 'chromium' is reserved and rejected at startup.).
