Adeu
Let your coding agent redline Word contracts and deliverables with real Track Changes instead of pasted Markdown.
Overview
Adeu is an MCP server for the Ship phase that lets AI agents edit DOCX files with non-destructive redlining and Track Changes semantics.
What is this MCP server?
- MCP server (Python and Node) that translates DOCX ↔ a token-efficient virtual DOM for LLM edits
- Preserves Word formatting and complex DOCX XML while agents change text
- Fills the gap left by python-docx-style generators that cannot do professional redlining
- Published on Smithery with PyPI (adeu) and npm (@adeu/core) SDK packages
- MIT-licensed stack aimed at legal, deal, and enterprise Word workflows
- Dual MCP implementations: Python and Node.js
- SDK packages: PyPI `adeu` and npm `@adeu/core`
- Listed on Smithery (adeu/adeu)

What problem does it solve?
You need Word reviewers to see real tracked changes, but your agent only knows how to rewrite plain text or Markdown and breaks document formatting when it tries.
Who is it for?
Indie consultants and founders who iterate legal or commercial Word docs with an agent while legal or clients stay in Track Changes.
Skip if: Teams that only publish Markdown or Google Docs and never deliver or review `.docx` files.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you connect Adeu, your agent can propose Word-native edits and redlines stakeholders can accept or reject without rebuilding the document by hand.
- Agent-driven text edits applied through Adeu’s DOCX abstraction
- Review-ready Word documents with formatting preserved
- Redline-friendly workflows aligned with Track Changes expectations
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Redlining and negotiated edits happen after drafts exist and before sign-off, which maps to the Ship phase’s review gate rather than initial authoring. Non-destructive DOCX edits, compare, and track-changes workflows are classic document review tasks, not greenfield writing or distribution.
How it compares
DOCX redlining MCP integration, not a general document generator or a brainstorming skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is ai.adeu/adeu for?
Solo builders and small teams who ship Microsoft Word deliverables and want Claude Code or similar agents to edit them without destroying formatting or skipping Track Changes.
When should I use ai.adeu/adeu?
Use it during contract, proposal, or policy review when you already have a DOCX and need agent-suggested redlines that reviewers can treat like normal Word revisions.
How do I add ai.adeu/adeu to my agent?
Install the Python or Node MCP server (or register via Smithery), point your MCP client at the Adeu server, and invoke tools against local or uploaded `.docx` files per the repo README.
