Agree a good one this is needed but there are 4-5 semi functional Word MCP servers including one from the vendor. This one still isn't feature complete. This is going to sound rude, and I don't mean it that way, but how did you get accepted to YC for this? Was this some kind of pivot off your accepted idea and business plan?

Legit question :) so we've worked on a few ideas since we've been accepted to YC, one of them was the document editor for pharma.

After working on that for a while, we've decided to shift focus and work on the DOCX angle. We felt there's a big opportunity here since .docx is such a widely used format.

As to the feature complete point - I agree. We already cover the most common features today (paragraphs, lists, tables, tracked changes, header/footer) and we're working hard on implementing more. Our main focus right now is to be the most accurate, cheapest and fastest solution out there for common scenarios.

I've built tools using the agent in https://github.com/eigenpal/docx-editor. I can use my existing AI and don't need to connect to an external service, plus it is open source. Why would I use your solution instead?

we need to fill templates that customers give us, we’ve already built an agent harness with python-docx. It’s not perfect but it ~works. Does Vespper completely replace that or can our harness be used alongside your MCP?

Btw we open sourced a Word add-in project that shows how to build a Word add-in with Vespper MCP: https://github.com/vespperhq/examples/tree/main/word-add-in
