Quip MCP server

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to Quip, the place where your team keeps documents and notes. Once it is set up, you can ask your AI to find a doc, read it, write a new one, or add a comment, and it will do that in your Quip account. It is handy if you spend a lot of your day in Quip and want to skip the clicking around.

What this MCP server does

You type a request in your AI chat, like finding a document or adding a note. The AI sends that request to this helper program running on your computer. The helper signs in to Quip using your personal API token and does the work there. Then it sends the result back to your AI, which shows it to you in the chat. For changes like creating or editing a document, the helper makes the change in Quip and tells you it is done.

What it gives back to you

You get answers in the chat, like a list of matching documents with their titles and IDs, or the full text of one document in clean markdown. For searches and recent documents, you see a short list you can pick from. When you create, edit or delete something, the AI tells you what it changed in Quip. Comments come back as a readable list of who said what.
