Zovo Document Compare MCP

Compares two document versions to identify word-level differences, generating a redline PDF, an Excel change list, and a Word file with tracked changes. It handles various formats including .docx, text PDFs, and .txt files, flagging material changes like numbers and negations.

Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Zovo Document Compare compares two versions of a document (pasted text, or uploaded Word .docx, text PDF or .txt files) word by word and reports every changed word: a redline PDF with deletions struck through in red, insertions underlined in blue and change numbers in the margin, an Excel change list, and a Word file with real tracked changes. Numbers, negations (not, no, never) and modal verbs (shall, may, must) in a change are flagged as material. Only whitespace and quote style are normalized. It does not give legal advice, does not read scanned PDFs or images, and compares only the main text (not headers, footers, footnotes or comments).

compare_documents — Compare two documents
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Use this when the user wants to compare two documents for differences, compare two versions of a contract, lease, policy or any text, or wants a redline comparison. Put the full text of each version into original_text and revised_text word for word (do not summarize, shorten or fix it); if the user shares screenshots or images of pages, transcribe their text word for word into those fields. For uploaded Word .docx, text PDF or .txt files, pass them in original_file and revised_file. Returns each changed word with the paragraph number, flags changes to numbers, negations and modal verbs (shall, may, must) as material, and makes a redline PDF, an Excel change list and a Word file with tracked changes. Only whitespace and quote style are normalized. Does not read scanned PDFs, does not compare formatting, headers or footers, and does not give legal advice. Do not use for comparing spreadsheets or data tables.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http zovo-document-compare-mcp https://text-compare.zovo.one/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add zovo-document-compare-mcp --url https://text-compare.zovo.one/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable zovo-document-compare-mcp in your MCP settings.
