Works with Claude Desktop and Claude Code
For macOS.
Your agent suggests changes to your document, and you decide on every one: accept, reject or edit it. Then your agent writes the next draft.
Your agent picks out what matters in your document for your purpose, including anything it doesn’t say. Nothing changes; you see what counts at a glance.
Step 1 · Open
Drop the PDF on SmartDoc, or ask your agent to open it. It shows the document exactly as it is, page for page.
Step 2 · Ask
Open the focus menu, write what the review is for, and copy the prompt for your agent.
Step 3 · Review
Paste the prompt into your agent. It reads the CV and adds suggestions as it goes, each beside the text it’s about.
Step 4 · Decide
Choose a rewrite, accept a change, or edit it yourself. Nothing changes until you say so.
Step 4 · Decide
When your agent needs a fact, it asks. Your answer goes into the next draft.
Step 5 · Redraft
Copy one prompt. Your agent writes Draft 1 from your decisions, and it opens in SmartDoc by itself.
Step 6 · Highlight
Switch to Review and highlight and say what you’re looking for. Your agent picks out the key information, including what’s missing.
Step 7 · Tailor
Right-click a draft and make a variation for one job. Your agent tailors it, and the original stays as it is.
Free and open source
No account, no trial, no paid plan. SmartDoc is released under the MIT licence, which means it stays free: once it’s out, nobody can take that back.
It’s one of the most common licences for free software, written at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In plain terms:
At home or at work, for as long as you like. You never pay, and you never need permission.
All of SmartDoc’s code is public. Anyone can read it, copy it, or change it to suit them.
Anyone who shares a copy keeps the licence with it. It comes as it is, without a guarantee.
Install
SmartDoc connects to your agent: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any agent that runs MCP servers. It opens by itself whenever your agent needs it.
Install it as an extension.
Nothing else to install: Claude Desktop has what SmartDoc needs built in.
Add it with one command.
claude mcp add --scope user smartdoc -- npx -y @smartdoc/mcpNeeds Node.js 18 or later, which runs the command above (npx comes with it). Claude Desktop doesn’t need it.
Any agent that runs MCP servers can use SmartDoc.
npx -y @smartdoc/mcp{
"mcpServers": {
"smartdoc": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@smartdoc/mcp"
]
}
}

Good to know
SmartDoc works with the agent you already use. No new account, no new subscription: just a better way to work on documents together.
Your agent suggests; you decide. Nothing in your document changes until you’ve said yes.
Every draft is kept, and every variation too. Step back to any version whenever you like.
Tailor a variation for each job or reader, and keep the original just as it was.
Mark any line to rewrite, question or keep, and your agent answers each one.
Ask your agent what a reader would look for, and see it highlighted on the page.
Your agent opens SmartDoc by itself, right where you left off.
No sign-up and no plan to choose. SmartDoc is free.
Every line of SmartDoc is on GitHub, for anyone to read.
