adeu
VerifiedTranslates DOCX to CriticMarkup for safe AI-driven Word edits.
What is the adeu MCP server?
Adeu provides a two-way abstraction layer between .docx files and LLMs. It translates documents into CriticMarkup with a semantic appendix, validates edits, and applies changes as native track changes without altering layout or fonts.
The server supports both Python and Node.js backends and integrates with live Microsoft Word on Windows. It acts as a safety gate that blocks ambiguous or invalid edits before they reach the file.
