English · Español · 简体中文 · Português · Deutsch

Safe Docx is a local MCP server and CLI for reading, searching, editing, comparing, converting, and saving document files. It preserves DOCX structure and can produce clean or tracked-changes output.

Example

Ask your coding agent:

Edit NDA.docx. Change the governing law from New York to Delaware.
Save a clean copy and a tracked-changes copy. Do not change anything else.

Safe Docx finds the clause, applies the targeted edit, and writes both files for review. The rest of the document stays outside the requested edit.

What Safe Docx Is Not Optimized For

Safe Docx is not a visual editor or layout engine. It does not provide browser rendering, real-time collaboration, or pixel-level pagination guarantees. .dotx templates must be converted to .docx before use.
