Docusign MCP

Search, read, and manage DocuSign envelopes, recipients, templates, documents, and signing status via DocuSign's hosted MCP server (https://mcp.docusign.com/mcp). Use when the user asks about DocuSign envelopes, recipients, templates, documents, or signing workflows.

DocuSign

Quick start

Always invoke through bash {baseDir}/scripts/invoke.sh — never call mcporter directly. The wrapper seeds the OAuth vault from the env-supplied tokens when needed, then calls mcporter.

bash {baseDir}/scripts/invoke.sh list maverick-docusign --schema

For structured output (also surfaces transport errors as JSON envelopes — workaround for mcporter #153):

bash {baseDir}/scripts/invoke.sh call --output json maverick-docusign.TOOL_NAME key=value | jq '.result.content'

Safety

Write operations that create, send, void, update, or modify envelopes, recipients, templates, and documents can affect real signing workflows. Confirm clear user intent before invoking write tools — search and read tools are safe to call freely while exploring. Read envelope status, recipients, tabs, and document details before updating anything.

Authentication

Tokens are provisioned and rotated automatically. If a call returns HTTP 401 that doesn't recover within a few seconds, the OAuth grant has been revoked — re-authorize the integration to refresh credentials.

Data flow

Tool calls travel to DocuSign's hosted MCP service at https://mcp.docusign.com/mcp over HTTPS, authenticated via OAuth. DocuSign sees the envelope, recipient, template, document, and signing-status data referenced by each call. Use this skill for DocuSign-related work only; do not pass unrelated sensitive content through these tools.

Dependencies

• mcporter (github.com/steipete/mcporter) — MCP CLI used to invoke DocuSign's hosted MCP server. Auto-installed via npm install -g --ignore-scripts mcporter if missing on PATH (see install spec in frontmatter). The install spec uses unpinned mcporter (npm latest); operators with strict supply-chain controls should override the install to pin a specific version (e.g. mcporter@<version>).
• jq (stedolan.github.io/jq) — JSON processor used by the vault initializer. System dependency; install via your OS package manager (apt install jq, brew install jq, etc.).
• flock (part of util-linux) — file locking used to serialize concurrent vault writes. Available by default on Linux; on macOS install via brew install flock.
• shasum (Perl, ships with Digest::SHA) — computes the SHA-256 hashes used to derive the mcporter vault key and the provisioned-token marker. Preinstalled on macOS and on Debian/Ubuntu (incl. the deployed cloudflare/sandbox Ubuntu 22.04 image); on minimal Linux images install perl-Digest-SHA. The script invokes shasum -a 256 rather than GNU sha256sum so it runs on stock macOS without coreutils.
