AI-native surgical editing of Word .docx and OpenDocument .odt files with formatting preservation
Runs on your machine from its package; the steps are below.
At most: creates or changes data: records, files, settings.
Odel charges nothing per call. The publisher may charge for its own service.
Runs locally over stdio
This server isn't hosted — your MCP client launches it from a package registry. Use one of the commands below, or drop the config into your client (e.g. Claude Desktop).
Run
npx -y @usejunior/safe-docx
MCP client config
{
"mcpServers": {
"safe-docx": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@usejunior/safe-docx"
]
}
}

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.
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.
Follow the complete editing walkthrough.
npm install --global @usejunior/safe-docx
Then configure your MCP client with the installed executable's absolute path. For Claude Code:
claude mcp add safe-docx -- /absolute/path/to/safe-docx
Add Safe Docx to ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"safe-docx": {
"command": "/absolute/path/to/safe-docx",
"args": []
}
}
}
Restart agy, then ask it to edit a .docx file. Antigravity may ask you to approve the MCP server before first use.
See Installation and verification for locating the executable, pinning a version, and configuring clients.
Browse the Safe Docx Conformance Explorer to navigate ECMA-376 sections, OOXML schema declarations, capability claims, explicit non-goals, and measured cross-implementation outcomes.
The generated repository conformance report remains the source-controlled record of targeted sections, non-goals, and verification references.
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.
