Most AI agents can browse the web, write code, and send messagesβ€”but ask one to create a spreadsheet or build a slide deck, and things get awkward fast. Mila is here to change that. It's an office suite built from the ground up for programmatic access, giving AI agents a full document toolkit through a clean REST API and an MCP server.

What Is Mila?

Mila is a collaborative platform with three document types: rich-text Documents with HTML support, Spreadsheets with tabs and formulas using A1 notation, and Slides on a 960Γ—540 canvas with speaker notes and themes. Everything lives at api.mila.gg/v1, making it easy to integrate with any AI workflow.

The MCP Server

Mila exposes 23 tools through its MCP server at mcp.mila.gg. These include create_document, get_document, update_document, delete_document for text files; create_sheet, get_sheet_tab, append_rows for spreadsheets; and create_slide_presentation, append_slides for presentations. The MCP (Model Context Protocol) standard lets AI assistants connect to external tools seamlessly.

Setting Up With Claude Desktop

Adding Mila to Claude Desktop is straightforward. Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop settings: the URL https://mcp.mila.gg with your API key in the Authorization header. Once configured, Claude can create and edit office documents mid-conversationβ€”perfect for generating reports or drafting content on the fly.

OpenClaw Integration

OpenClaw users have it even easier. Install the Mila skill directly with a single command: npx clawhub@latest install mila. This gives your OpenClaw agent full access to Mila's capabilities, letting it generate spreadsheets from data, draft documents from conversation context, build presentation decks, and track information in structured sheets.

Real-Time Collaboration

One standout feature: Mila supports real-time collaboration. Multiple users and agents can work on the same document simultaneously, meaning your AI agent can build a report while you review and edit it live. This opens up interesting workflows where humans and AI collaborate on the same file in real time.

Key Takeaways

  • Mila provides 23 tools for documents, spreadsheets, and slides via MCP
  • Integration takes minutes with Claude Desktop config or OpenClaw's clawhub
  • Free tier covers personal use; API keys support granular permissions like documents:read or sheets:write
  • Real-time collaboration means AI and humans can work together on files

The Bottom Line

Mila fills a real gap in the AI agent ecosystem. Most agents can interact with APIs and databases, but office productivity has been a blind spotβ€”until now. Whether you're building automated workflows or just want Claude to generate your quarterly reports, Mila makes it possible without leaving your AI's context. The free tier is generous enough to experiment, and the MCP integration means this isn't a proprietary trap either.
