How It Works

This MCP server acts as a bridge between Claude and Quip documents. It works by:

1. Receiving requests from Claude through the MCP protocol

2. Executing a Python script (quip_edit_fixed.py) with the appropriate parameters

3. Returning the results back to Claude

Prerequisites

• Node.js v18 or higher

• TypeScript

• Python with quip library installed

• A valid Quip access token

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/AvinashBole/quip-mcp-server.git cd quip-mcp-server

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Build the project:

   npm run build

4. Configure your MCP settings:

   { "mcpServers": { "quip": { "command": "node", "args": ["path/to/quip-server/build/index.js"], "env": { "QUIP_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-quip-access-token", "QUIP_BASE_URL": "https://platform.quip.com" }, "disabled": false, "autoApprove": [] } } }

Usage

Once connected, the following MCP tools become available to Claude:

• quip_read_document: Read a Quip document by its thread ID

• quip_append_content: Append content to a document

• quip_prepend_content: Add content to the beginning of a document

• quip_replace_content: Replace document content

• quip_create_document: Create a new document (currently unsupported)

Example usage in Claude:

Python Script Integration

The server expects a Python script called quip_edit_fixed.py in the path specified by the PYTHON_SCRIPT_PATH constant. This script should support the following operations:

• read: Read document content

• append: Add content to the end of a document

• prepend: Add content to the beginning of a document

• replace: Update document content
