claude2doc

Paste Claude's markdown output directly into a Google Doc with formatted headers, bold, code blocks, etc, without touching the clipboard or browser.

How it works

terminal (paste markdown) → claude CLI → Toolshed API → Google Doc

Toolshed's append_to_google_drive_doc handles markdown-to-Doc rendering server-side, so formatting is applied correctly every time.

Setup (one-time)

1. Install Claude Code CLI

Follow https://claude.ai/claude-code to install and authenticate.

2. Add the Toolshed Google Drive MCP server

claude mcp add --scope=user --transport stdio toolshed_gdrive '${TOOLSHED_STDIO_SHIM}' google_drive

3. Delegate OAuth to Toolshed

Visit https://toolshed.corp.stripe.com/oauth and grant Google Drive editing access. This lets Toolshed write to docs on your behalf.

4. Install claude2doc

git clone https://github.com/nidhi-stripe/claude2doc.git
cd claude2doc
sudo ./install.sh

This copies claude2doc to /usr/local/bin/. You need sudo because /usr/local/bin/ is a system directory.

Usage

Interactive mode

claude2doc

1. Paste your Claude output
2. Press Ctrl+D or type END on its own line
3. Paste the Google Doc URL (or just the doc ID)
4. Done — open the doc and see formatted content

With --doc flag

claude2doc --doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1abc123def456/edit

Then just paste content and press Ctrl+D.

Create a new doc

claude2doc --doc new

You'll be prompted for a title. The new doc URL is printed when done.

Doc bookmarks

Save a bookmark so you never have to paste a URL again:

claude2doc --save prd https://docs.google.com/document/d/1abc123def456/edit
claude2doc --doc prd   # uses the saved URL

List all saved bookmarks:

claude2doc --list

Remove a bookmark:

claude2doc --remove prd

Bookmarks are stored in ~/.claude2doc.json.

Piped input

echo "## My heading" | claude2doc --doc 1abc123def456

Testing

Quick test to verify everything is wired up:

printf '## Hello from claude2doc\n\nIf you can read this, **it works!**\nEND\n' | claude2doc --doc <YOUR_DOC_URL>

Open the doc — you should see a formatted heading and bold text appended at the bottom.

Requirements

• Stripe engineer (depends on internal Toolshed MCP)
• claude CLI installed and authenticated
• Toolshed Google Drive OAuth delegated
• TOOLSHED_STDIO_SHIM env var (set automatically by Stripe dev environment)
