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.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add mcp-office-word -- uvx mcp-office
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-office-word": {
      "args": [
        "mcp-office"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

command = "uvx"
args = ["mcp-office"]

  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-office-word": {
      "args": [
        "mcp-office"

  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: WORD_ALLOWLIST_ROOTS (Comma-separated directory roots allowed for file access. Required — no files are accessible without this.), WORD_ENABLE_WRITE (Set to 'true' to enable write operations (document content editing and styles).), WORD_ENABLE_COM (Set to 'true' to activate COM-backed tools: manage_tracked_changes and export_document (PDF/HTML). Windows-only — requires pywin32 and Microsoft Word.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

MCP Office Word — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Office Word?
MCP Office Word runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package mcp-office was installed 113 times last week.
How do I connect MCP Office Word?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls mcp-office straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MCP Office Word?
The pypi package mcp-office was installed 113 times in the last week. Week over week that is +10%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MCP Office Word open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 7 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
