It may be either LOCAL (in such case, a mount of the /app/output folder to host folder is required) or S3 (in such case, AWS credentials and S3 bucket info is required) - see the template docker-compose.yml file

Custom templates

You may use custom templates so the tool creates the presentation e.g. on your company style slides or letterhead. In such case, a directory containing “template_4_3.pptx”, “template_16_9.pptx” or “template.docx” must be mounted to “/app/templates/” (see docker-compose.yml). In your template, you must ensure the proper position of the slide layout templates in your master slides. The title slide shall be third, title and content slide shall be fifth and section slide shall be eight. In word template, standard word styles must be present.

How to add to LibreChat

In your librechat.yaml file, add the following section:

mcpServers:
  office-docs:
    type: sse # type can optionally be omitted
    url: # URL of your docker container e.g. http://localhost:8958/sse
    timeout: 120000 # the generation of docx content may take longer time

How to use in LibreChat

After the server is added to LibreChat as per above, restart LibreChat to connect to MCP server and discover tools. Then, create an agent and add the respective tools to agent.

When the agent is created, you may ask the agent to create presentation on any topic, to create word document or draft e-mail.
