Headless document pipelines via Claude Code

This MCP Server exposes your Docdown tools directly to your terminal environment. You can pipe terminal outputs or local JSON files straight into `generate_new_document` using simple shell commands. The agent chains tools to locate templates, pull field requirements, and generate files. It handles the entire CLI-based execution without needing a browser.

Automated template schema validation

This validation tool runs `get_template_field_schema` and `get_template_details` to validate your inputs before sending them to the Docdown API. This prevents broken automation scripts and failed CI/CD runs. If a template is missing required inputs, the agent outputs the exact missing fields to your terminal. This makes debugging MCP shell scripts incredibly fast.

Terminal-based document tracking

This MCP tool uses `list_recently_generated_docs` and `get_document_status` to track your document generation queue. You can check the progress of background jobs without leaving your SSH session. It can also query `get_docdown_account_metadata` to output your current plan usage and limits. This is perfect for keeping tabs on your API consumption.
