Docuseal MCP Server

Provides an MCP bridge to DocuSeal for templates, submissions, and submitters via stdio for local or cloud deployment.

Installation

Add the following to your MCP client configuration file.

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "caffeinebounce-docuseal-mcp-server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/absolute/path/to/docuseal-mcp-server/dist/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DOCUSEAL_URL": "http://localhost:3030",
        "DOCUSEAL_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

You deploy the Docuseal MCP Server to bridge DocuSeal’s APIs with your MCP client either as a self-hosted service or in the cloud. It exposes endpoints for templates, submissions, and submitters, and can run locally as a standard input/output (stdio) server that your MCP orchestrator can start and monitor.

How to use

To use this MCP server, run it as a local process and connect your MCP client to it via the provided stdio configuration. You will typically start the server once and reference the dist/index.js entry it uses, allowing your MCP client to perform template management, submission handling, and signer management through the familiar MCP toolset.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation.

Install and build the server from source.

npm install
npm run build

Run the MCP server

Start the MCP server using the runtime command shown in the configuration example. The server runs as a local stdio process and is invoked by your MCP manager.

npm start

Configure the MCP client to use the Docuseal server

In your MCP client configuration, reference the stdio server with the exact command and arguments shown. The client will launch the server as a child process and communicate through standard I/O channels.
