doc-coauthoring

Anthropic

Anthropic skill that structures a collaborative drafting workflow for co-writing documents with Claude.

Turns 'write this for me' into an actual editing loop. Better documents, fewer full rewrites.

/plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills && /plugin install example-skills@anthropic-agent-skills

Anthropic's official skill for creating and editing Word documents with proper formatting, styles, and tracked changes.

The canonical Word skill, from the people who ship it inside Claude itself. Start here.

/plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills && /plugin install document-skills@anthropic-agent-skills

excel-mcp-server

Haris Musa

Creates and manipulates Excel workbooks — sheets, formulas, charts, pivots — without Excel installed.

Spreadsheet automation on a machine that has never seen Microsoft Office. Server-side Excel work, solved.

claude mcp add excel -- uvx excel-mcp-server stdio

markdownify-mcp

Zach Caceres

Converts almost anything — PDFs, images, audio, web pages, Office files — into Markdown.

One hammer for every file-shaped nail. Audio transcription in the same tool is the sleeper feature.

git clone https://github.com/zcaceres/markdownify-mcp && bun install

markitdown-mcp

Microsoft

Microsoft's MarkItDown as an MCP server: converts Office files, PDFs, images, and more to Markdown.

Microsoft's own answer to 'make this file model-readable'. The converter everything else wraps.

pip install markitdown-mcp && claude mcp add markitdown -- markitdown-mcp

Lets Claude read, search, and write your Obsidian vault via the Local REST API community plugin.

Your second brain finally gets a first-class reader. The standard Obsidian bridge.

claude mcp add obsidian -- uvx mcp-obsidian

mcp-pandoc

Vivek Vells

Document format conversion via pandoc: markdown, HTML, DOCX, PDF, EPUB, and more.

Pandoc has converted documents correctly since before LLMs existed. Giving Claude the keys is obvious.

claude mcp add pandoc -- uvx mcp-pandoc

notion-mcp-server

Notion

Notion's official MCP server for reading, searching, and writing Notion pages and databases.

First-party, maintained, and markdown-optimized for token efficiency. Skip the community forks.

claude mcp add notion -- npx -y @notionhq/notion-mcp-server

Office-PowerPoint-MCP-Server

GongRzhe

PowerPoint creation and editing through python-pptx: 32 tools across templates, charts, images, and layouts.

More granular slide control than the official skill when you need to edit deck internals, not generate them.

npx -y @smithery/cli install @GongRzhe/Office-PowerPoint-MCP-Server --client claude

Office-Word-MCP-Server

GongRzhe

Creates, reads, and edits Word documents via python-docx. Archived March 2026 but still widely installed.

Archived, but the install base speaks for itself. Fine until the official docx skill covers your edge case.

npx -y @smithery/cli install @GongRzhe/Office-Word-MCP-Server --client claude

Anthropic's official skill for PDF manipulation: creation, form filling, merging, and extraction.

PDFs are where automation goes to die. This skill is the exception.

/plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills && /plugin install document-skills@anthropic-agent-skills

pdf-reader-mcp

SylphxAI

Rust-native, local-first PDF reading for agents: structured text, tables, OCR, and page-level citations.

Page-level citations mean you can check Claude's homework. Rare rigor in the PDF space.

claude mcp add pdf-reader -- npx -y @sylphx/citra

Anthropic's official skill for creating and editing PowerPoint presentations with layouts and themes.

Decks that don't look like a robot made them. The official skill clears that bar surprisingly often.

/plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills && /plugin install document-skills@anthropic-agent-skills

Anthropic's official skill for building and editing Excel spreadsheets, including formulas and formatting.

Real formulas, not numbers pasted where formulas should be. That alone justifies the install.

/plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills && /plugin install document-skills@anthropic-agent-skills
