Paper Format Agent MCP Server

中文说明 | English A local DOCX formatter for theses and papers. It changes fonts, spacing, indents, headings and captions to match a format guide. It does not rewrite the paper. Before saving, it compares a fingerprint of the body and table text from before and after the run. If the text changed, it aborts instead of writing the formatted file.

People connecting this server to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.
