The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol, introduced by Anthropic in November 2024, that defines how an AI application (the client) connects to external services (MCP servers). A server exposes tools, resources and prompts through JSON-RPC 2.0 messages, over stdio locally or over HTTP (Streamable HTTP) remotely. One integration then works with any compatible client.

Why it matters when generating documents with AI

  • A document MCP server gives Claude, Cursor, Codex and other clients the ability to create files without writing integration code.
  • Tools are described with JSON Schema, the same format used by tool calling.
  • A local server can read files from disk; a remote one receives them by URL or as base64.
  • Authentication depends on the transport: environment variables locally, HTTP headers remotely.

With Doconda

Doconda’s MCP server gives your agent the tools to create, review and edit documents. Locally it runs with npx -y @doconda/mcp and the DOCONDA_API_KEY variable; remotely it is at https://api.eu.doconda.com/mcp with an Authorization header. Setup for each client is in MCP server.
