Upload and summarize document

This example demonstrates how to use the ONLYOFFICE DocSpace MCP Server from an MCP-compatible client to upload a document to a specific room folder and generate a structured summary based on the document content.

Before you start​

Please make sure your MCP client is configured to use the DocSpace MCP Server so it can access your DocSpace portal and perform actions on your behalf. You need to follow the Connecting clients guide to add the DocSpace MCP Server to your client configuration and provide the required credentials.

If you are not sure which server option to use, start from the DocSpace MCP Server overview and choose one of the installation modes:

  • use the public Remote Server if your client supports remote MCP servers;
  • run the Local Server if your client requires a locally hosted MCP server.

Workflow steps​

1. Prepare the destination and the expected output​

Before sending a request, decide:

  • Room name where the document should be stored
  • Folder name inside the room (for example, "Legal" or "Contracts")
  • Document you want to upload
  • Summary format you want to receive (bullet points, short paragraph, or sections)

This makes the request clear and reduces the need for follow-up questions.

2. Upload the document to DocSpace​

Send a request that includes the room name, folder name, and the file you want to upload.

Example request: Upload the attached contract to the "Legal" folder in the "Website Redesign" room.

What you should expect:

  • The destination room and folder are located.
  • The document is uploaded to DocSpace.
  • The upload result is confirmed (file name and destination folder).

If the folder might not exist yet, include it in the request:

Example request: Upload the attached contract to the "Legal" folder in the "Website Redesign" room. Create the folder if it does not exist.

3. Generate a structured summary​

Request a summary in a clear format so it is easy to reuse (for example, to share with a team).

Example request: Summarize the document in bullet points grouped by "Obligations", "Deadlines", and "Risks".

What you should expect:

  • A structured summary based on the document text.
  • Clear separation of key points, deadlines, and risk-related clauses.

If you need a shorter output, specify it:

Example request: Summarize the document in 5 bullet points, focusing only on deadlines and responsibilities.

备注

If the document is a scanned file or contains mostly images, the available text for summarization may be limited.

4. Verify the outcome​

Request a short confirmation that the file is stored correctly and the summary is complete.

Example request: Confirm the document is stored in the "Legal" folder of the "Website Redesign" room, and provide the file link.

What you should expect in the response:

  • Room and folder name where the file is stored
  • File name
  • (Optional) a direct link to open the file in DocSpace
  • The generated summary

Result​

  • The document is uploaded to the correct room folder in DocSpace.
  • A structured summary is generated in the requested format.
  • The user receives confirmation and can continue the workflow (share, review, or store the output).
