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

ComponentCountWhat it does
MCP tools21Chat, structural editing, attachments, sessions, jobs, templates, pre-signed upload/download
Workflow prompts4/superdocs:draft_from_outline, /superdocs:edit_styled_docx, /superdocs:convert_format, /superdocs:review_contract_for_redflags
Skill1Auto-loads when you ask Claude to edit, draft, or export documents — no need to think about which tool to use

Install

claude plugin install superdocsapp/superdocs-plugin
You’ll be prompted for your sk_… API key. Get one from use.superdocs.appSettings → 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

claude plugin list
You should see 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:
"Edit /Users/me/contracts/draft.docx — make all H2 headings bold and add a new section at the end called 'Approvals'."
"Draft an NDA between Acme Corp and Globex Industries, governed by Delaware law, 2-year term."
Or invoke a workflow prompt directly:
/superdocs:draft_from_outline

Updates

The plugin auto-updates when a new version is published. To pin a specific version:
claude plugin install superdocsapp/superdocs-plugin@1.0.0
To uninstall:
claude plugin uninstall superdocs

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 from https://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.

Source

The plugin is open source under MIT. Browse, clone, fork, or report issues at github.com/superdocsapp/superdocs-plugin.

Manual install (without the plugin)

For cases where you can’t use plugins (older Claude Code, project-scoped .mcp.json shared via git, etc.), see the Claude Code manual setup section.
