SuperDocs Plugin for Claude Code
The fastest way to install SuperDocs in Claude Code. One command, one prompt for your API key, three things installed at once: the MCP server, the workflow prompts, and the skill.What you get
| Component | Count | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| MCP tools | 21 | Chat, structural editing, attachments, sessions, jobs, templates, pre-signed upload/download |
| Workflow prompts | 4 | /superdocs:draft_from_outline, /superdocs:edit_styled_docx, /superdocs:convert_format, /superdocs:review_contract_for_redflags |
| Skill | 1 | Auto-loads when you ask Claude to edit, draft, or export documents — no need to think about which tool to use |
Install
sk_… API key. Get one from use.superdocs.app → Settings → API Keys → Create. Free plan includes 500 AI operations per month.
The key is stored in your OS keychain (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, Linux Secret Service) — never in plaintext config.
Verify
superdocs in the list. Then in a Claude Code session, type / and you’ll see the 4 workflow prompts in the slash menu.
To test the connection:
“Use the SuperDocs health tool to check the API”If you see
{"status": "healthy"}, everything works.
Use it
After install, just ask Claude to do document work. The skill auto-loads and Claude reaches for SuperDocs:Updates
The plugin auto-updates when a new version is published. To pin a specific version:Troubleshooting
“No commands match/superdocs:” — The plugin didn’t load. Check claude plugin list and reinstall if missing. Restart Claude Code (the plugin loads at session start).
“401 Unauthorized” on tool calls — API key is wrong or revoked. Reinstall the plugin or update the key with claude plugin config superdocs api_key.
Tools work but skill doesn’t auto-load — The skill loads probabilistically based on your prompt phrasing. If you want to force it, mention “use SuperDocs” explicitly.
Stale prompt content after a SuperDocs backend update — Run claude plugin update superdocs to pull the latest plugin version.
What’s bundled vs. backend-served
The plugin itself is small — just the manifest + the skill markdown. The 21 tools and 4 prompts are served live fromhttps://api.superdocs.app/mcp/ (Streamable HTTP, sk_ Bearer auth). Tool descriptions, prompt templates, and behavior changes ship from the backend instantly — no plugin update needed for those.
The plugin’s job is to make install painless. The smarts live on the server.
