Creates, reads and edits Word documents: tables of contents, page numbers and letterheads, tracked changes, comments and find-and-replace, while preserving existing formatting. The official Anthropic skill behind Claude's document features; source-available, not open source.

From Firecrawl: converts Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDF, EPUB, RTF and more into clean Markdown locally in milliseconds, keeping headings, tables, footnotes and formulas so agents can read attachments. Needs Node.js; optional Firecrawl cloud OCR for scans uploads the whole file.

MiniMax's official skill plugin with dev guides for frontend, full-stack, Android, iOS, Flutter, React Native and GLSL shaders, plus PDF, PowerPoint, Excel and Word document skills and image, video and music generation. Media skills need a MiniMax API key. Still in beta.

Converts PDFs to editable Word files, keeping paragraphs, tables, images and layout as closely as possible, and can extract tables alone, handy when a contract or exam only exists as PDF. Needs Python; digital PDFs only, OCR scans first. No longer actively maintained by Artifex.

Translates whole EPUB books, Word files, SRT subtitles and TXT with local Ollama or cloud LLMs (OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek), keeping layout and timings. Builds a glossary for consistent terms and can resume jobs. Mainly a desktop app; the CLI runs from source; cloud models need an API key.

Converts PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, EPUB, web pages and images to clean Markdown locally, keeping page anchors, tables and two-column reading order, with full-text search across folders. Formerly pdf-reader-mcp; no uploads, no API key. Needs Node.js 18+; OCR for scans needs tesseract.

The Docling project's official MCP: converts PDF, Word, PowerPoint and more into structured documents with layout and table detection and OCR for scans, and lets agents build new documents paragraph by paragraph and export Markdown. Local mode needs Python and uv, or use your own Docling Serve.

130+ office skills for contract review, NDAs, job descriptions, offer letters, invoices and expenses, meeting notes, email, and Excel, PowerPoint and PDF work. Writing skills work as-is; Airtable, Slack and other automations need those services. Legal and finance output needs expert review.

Writes an agent's edits to Word contracts as native tracked changes and comments while keeping the original formatting; can also compare two versions and strip author metadata before sending. Built for contract redlining. Runs locally with Node.js, no account; a lawyer must review all changes.

Official MCP from Nutrient (formerly PSPDFKit): merge PDFs, convert between Office and PDF, OCR, watermark, redact personal data, add digital signatures, and extract fields from invoices and contracts. Files are processed in Nutrient's cloud; needs a free account (page-based credits) and Node.js.

Drafts US-law contracts: the agent gathers terms for standard templates (NDA, SAFE, offer letter, cloud services agreement) and outputs a DOCX to review in Word, plus guides and checklists citing source law. Use the hosted URL, or run locally for sensitive matters. Drafts only; a lawyer must review.

DeepL's official CLI: translate text and PDF, Word, PowerPoint and Excel documents while keeping formatting, with glossaries and translation memory. Needs a DeepL API key (free plan available); install from source with Node.js 24.15+. Have legal translations reviewed.

Midpage's official plugin: from its US case law database, drafts briefs and motions (not complaints), research memos and litigation updates, checks citations and outputs annotated Word files linked to source opinions. Needs Midpage (2-week trial); Word output needs Node 18+. Lawyer review required.
