⚙️ Configuration

Claude Desktop

  1. Locate the configuration file:

    • Linux: ~/.config/claude-desktop/claude_desktop_config.json
    • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
    • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

  2. Add this configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "document-generator": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["--yes", "--cache", "/tmp/.npx-cache", "document-generator-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}
  1. Restart Claude Desktop

Amazon Q Developer

  1. Open VS Code with Amazon Q extension
  2. Access Amazon Q settings
  3. Add the MCP server:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "document-generator": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["--yes", "--cache", "/tmp/.npx-cache", "document-generator-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Other MCP Agents (Cline, Continue, etc.)

For other agents that support MCP, add the server configuration:

{
  "name": "document-generator",
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["--yes", "--cache", "/tmp/.npx-cache", "document-generator-mcp@latest"]
}

Check your agent's specific documentation for configuration details.

🎯 How to Use

After configuration, you can use natural commands in any MCP agent:

Example Prompts

  • "Create a Word document about sales analysis"
  • "Generate a PDF report about the project"
  • "Make a technical manual in Word and PDF"
  • "Create API documentation in Word format"
  • "Document this JavaScript code with examples"

Available Tools

  • gerar_documento_word: Creates Word documents, PDF, or both
  • gerar_documento_pdf: Creates PDF documents only

📝 Supported Formatting

The MCP automatically processes:

Markdown

  • # Heading 1 → Heading 1 (20pt)
  • ## Heading 2 → Heading 2 (16pt, blue)
  • ### Heading 3 → Heading 3 (14pt)
  • #### Heading 4 → Heading 4 (12pt)
  • - Item → Bulleted list
  • 1. Item → Numbered list
  • **text** → Bold text
  • *text* → Italic text
  • ***text*** → Bold + Italic
  • `code` → Inline code
  • > quote → Blockquote
  • --- → Horizontal line

Code Blocks

```javascript
async function example() {
  const data = await fetch('api.com');
  return data.json();
}
```

Auto-Detected JSON (New in v1.0.9!)

JSON objects and arrays are automatically detected and formatted as code blocks:

{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {
    "users": [
      {"id": 1, "name": "John"}
    ]
  }
}

No need for ``` backticks! Just paste your JSON and it will be automatically formatted with syntax highlighting.

Syntax Highlighting Colors (VS Code Dark theme):

  • 🟣 Keywords: async, function, const, await, etc. (#C586C0)
  • 🟠 Strings: "text", 'text' (#CE9178)
  • 🟢 Comments: // comment, /* block */ (#6A9955)
  • 🟢 Numbers: 42, 3.14, 0xFF (#B5CEA8)
  • 🟡 Functions: fetch, console.log (#DCDCAA)
  • 🔵 Types/Classes: Promise, Array (#4EC9B0)

🎨 Features Highlights

Professional Syntax Highlighting

  • Dark background (#1E1E1E) for code blocks
  • VS Code Dark theme colors
  • Language indicator header
  • Automatic line wrapping

Smart Pagination

  • Code blocks never split between pages
  • Headings kept with following content
  • Automatic page breaks when needed
  • Consistent spacing

Responsive Formatting

  • All content respects A4 margins
  • Automatic line breaks for long text
  • Proper width control for all elements
  • No content overflow

🧪 Testing

To test if it's working:

echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}' | npx document-generator-mcp@latest

Expected output: List of available tools (gerar_documento_word, gerar_documento_pdf)

🔧 Troubleshooting

Error "use strict: not found"

If you get this error, npm is using an old cached version. Solutions:

  1. Use this optimized configuration:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "document-generator": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["--yes", "--cache", "/tmp/.npx-cache", "document-generator-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}
  1. Or clear the cache:
npm cache clean --force
rm -rf ~/.npm/_npx

Documents not generating

  • Check if generated_documents/ folder exists
  • Verify Node.js version (18+ required)
  • Check MCP server logs in your agent

📁 Generated Files

Documents are saved in ./generated_documents/ with unique timestamps.

Example: api_documentation_1759715959772.docx
