What do people build with it?

USE CASE 1

Wire an AI assistant into an existing business system to let users request and receive Word or Excel reports through chat.

USE CASE 2

Add controlled report delivery to an AI workflow so rendered files are sent to verified recipients via email or chat.

USE CASE 3

Build an authorization layer that keeps AI agents from deciding who can export reports or where files are stored.

USE CASE 4

Create a template-driven reporting pipeline where AI selects the report type and the backend securely renders and delivers it.

Requires you to implement your own adapter protocols for templates, rendering, and delivery, the kit provides only the skeleton and contracts, not working renderers or database queries.

So what is it?

This repository helps business systems let AI agents generate and deliver Office reports, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF files, without giving the AI control over sensitive security decisions. It provides a reusable integration skeleton, not a finished product or a file renderer. The goal is to keep identity, authorization, business data, file paths, and delivery confirmation under backend control while the AI agent handles the user-facing workflow. The main concern this project addresses is the authorization boundary between the AI and the backend. The AI must not decide who the user is, whether the user is allowed to export a report, or where files are stored. Report data must come from trusted backend queries, not from facts the model invents or raw text a user pastes in. Recipients for delivered files must come from the current session or platform context, never from the model itself. The backend only marks a report as sent after the target platform confirms successful delivery. The kit includes several reusable pieces written in Python. There is a skill guide for agents, a machine-readable contract manifest, adapter protocols a project must implement, and checks for forbidden model fields. It also includes lifecycle data structures, a replay guard skeleton, and sample tests. Using these pieces, a project can list authorized templates, create report intents, render files from backend-signed data, query artifact status, and send reports through controlled delivery adapters to platforms like email or chat. The recommended workflow follows a set sequence of tool calls. The agent lists templates, selects a report type, creates an artifact intent, asks the backend to render it, checks lifecycle status, and requests delivery. Each step keeps sensitive details, such as storage keys and renderer commands, hidden from the model. The project intentionally does not provide real users, database queries, template files, renderer commands, or actual delivery implementations. Those must come from your own business system. The full README is longer than what was shown.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1

Help me implement the adapter protocols from this office-reporting-mcp-kit so my AI agent can list templates, create a report intent, and request rendering from my backend.

Prompt 2

Using the office-reporting-mcp-kit skeleton, walk me through the lifecycle of a report from intent creation to delivery confirmation, and show me where to plug in my own renderer and delivery adapters.

Prompt 3

Set up the forbidden model fields checks from this kit so my AI agent never sees storage keys, renderer commands, or recipient addresses.

Prompt 4

Based on this kit, write sample tests that verify the backend only marks a report as sent after the target platform confirms successful delivery.
