MCP Server

Open in Claude Open in ChatGPT

DocSpring’s MCP server lets an AI assistant work in your DocSpring account. It can find your templates, fill them in and generate PDFs, edit fields and publish versions, set up signature requests and manage folders and webhooks. It’s a remote server that uses the Model Context Protocol: you add its URL to your assistant and sign in to DocSpring. There’s no API token to copy.

Region	MCP server URL
US	`https://mcp.docspring.com/mcp`
EU	`https://mcp-eu.docspring.com/mcp`

Use the URL of the region your account is in. If you sign in to DocSpring at app-eu.docspring.com, your account is in the EU. The examples below use the US URL.

For coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Gemini CLI), the DocSpring plugin adds the MCP server together with DocSpring’s agent skills, which teach the agent DocSpring’s workflows.

Connect your assistant

Add the URL to your assistant, then sign in to DocSpring in your browser and choose what the assistant can do (see Access).

Claude

Claude.ai, Claude Desktop and Claude’s mobile apps share the same connectors. These buttons open Claude’s “Add custom connector” dialog with DocSpring’s URL filled in:

Add to Claude (US) Add to Claude (EU)

To add it by hand, go to Customize > Connectors, click + Add, then Add custom connector. Enter DocSpring as the name and the MCP server URL, then click Add and sign in. In a chat, turn DocSpring on from the + menu under Connectors.

Custom connectors work on every Claude plan (the Free plan allows one). On Team and Enterprise plans, an owner adds the connector in Organization settings > Connectors, then each member connects it from Customize > Connectors.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user docspring https://mcp.docspring.com/mcp

Then run /mcp in Claude Code, select docspring and sign in. --scope user adds the server for all of your projects. If you’re signed in to Claude Code with a Claude subscription, a DocSpring connector you added in Claude is already there.

ChatGPT

Adding an MCP server to ChatGPT needs a Business, Enterprise or Edu workspace, and only works on the web. In a Business workspace, an admin or owner adds it. ChatGPT Pro can add it with read-only tools.

Open Plugins, click +, then Add custom MCP server.
Enter DocSpring as the name, the MCP server URL as the connection, and choose OAuth for authentication.
Confirm, click Create as a plugin, and sign in to DocSpring.

In a chat, type @ and choose DocSpring.

Codex

codex mcp add docspring --url https://mcp.docspring.com/mcp
codex mcp login docspring

The Codex CLI, its IDE extension and the ChatGPT desktop app share this configuration.

Cursor

Add to Cursor (US) Add to Cursor (EU)

Or add the server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (every project) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docspring": { "url": "https://mcp.docspring.com/mcp" }
  }
}

Cursor asks you to sign in once it has added the server.

VS Code

Add to VS Code (US) Add to VS Code (EU)

Or run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette and choose HTTP, or add the server to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "docspring": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.docspring.com/mcp" }
  }
}

VS Code opens your browser to sign in the first time it connects.

Other assistants

Any MCP client that supports remote servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth sign-in can connect: Gemini CLI, Zed, Goose and others. Add the MCP server URL as a remote or HTTP server, and the client opens DocSpring’s sign-in when it first connects. For example, in Gemini CLI:

gemini mcp add --scope user --transport http docspring https://mcp.docspring.com/mcp

Access

When you sign in, DocSpring asks you to choose what the assistant can do. Read and write is selected until you choose another:

Access	What the assistant can do
Read only	See your templates, folders, submissions and their PDFs, and check data against a template
Read and write	Also create and edit templates and their fields, publish versions, generate PDFs, and create signature requests
Full access	Also delete templates, versions and folders, expire submissions, and create webhooks that send your submissions to a URL

If an assistant asks for less than full access when it signs in, DocSpring lists what it asked for instead, and you connect it with that access or cancel.

The assistant only sees the tools that its access allows. MCP Server Tools lists them.

Each connected assistant is listed under Connected apps on the Integrations page in DocSpring. Anyone in the account can disconnect it there, and its access stops straight away. To change an assistant’s access, disconnect it and sign in again.

Live PDFs use your account’s credits, as they do through the API. Test PDFs are free and have a watermark, and the tools ask the assistant to make test PDFs unless you ask for a real document. Setting up a new template’s fields automatically uses your account’s free AI pages for the month, then credits, as it does in the template editor.

Example prompts

In a chat assistant:

“List my DocSpring templates and show me the fields on the rental agreement.”
“Create a template from https://example.com/form.pdf, set up its fields, then show me the first page.”
“Generate a test PDF of the invoice template for Acme Corp, with three line items of your choice.”
“Rename the name field on the contract template to full_name, then publish a new version.”
“Set up a signature request on the NDA template for two signers and give me their signing links.”
“Move every template with ‘Draft’ in its name into a new folder called Drafts.”

In a coding agent, working in your app’s repository:

“Create a DocSpring template from forms/application.pdf, set up its fields, and generate TypeScript types for its data.”
“Write the code that fills our onboarding template from a customer record with the DocSpring SDK, then generate a test PDF to check it.”
“Make a test PDF of the lease template for each customer in fixtures/customers.csv.”

Security

An assistant with access can read your submissions’ data, which can include personal data. Connect only assistants your organization allows to handle it.
Text that an assistant reads, such as a PDF from the web or a submission’s data, can contain instructions meant to make it misuse its tools. Most assistants ask before they call a tool that changes something, and the tools that delete or expire data are marked as destructive, so clients ask you to confirm each call. Choose Read only when the assistant only needs to look.
The webhooks an assistant creates send your submissions’ data to a URL. An assistant can only see and change the webhooks it created, and they’re deleted when you disconnect it. It doesn’t see the webhooks you set up in DocSpring or with an API token.
