Notes
- Thin client of the public Cloud API (
/api/templates,/api/meta,/api/generate). Quotas and rate limits are enforced by Documentero as usual. - Do not put the API key in tool arguments — keep it in MCP env only.
- Word templates support output format:
docx/pdf; Excel templates support output format:xlsxonly. - Remote Streamable HTTP hosting (
https://mcp.documentero.com/mcp) is planned; this release is stdio only.
