A Model Context Protocol server for Excel file manipulation
Excel MCP Server is a Python-based Model Context Protocol server that enables AI agents to create, read, and modify Excel workbooks without requiring Microsoft Excel to be installed on the machine. It connects to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and other MCP-compatible clients through three transport options: stdio for local use, streamable HTTP (the recommended method for remote connections), and a deprecated SSE mode. The server exposes tools covering a broad range of spreadsheet operations, including formula writing, font and border formatting, conditional formatting, chart generation across multiple chart types such as line, bar, pie, and scatter, pivot table creation, and Excel table management with custom styling. A notable implementation detail is its path-handling split: stdio calls pass file paths per tool invocation, while the HTTP and SSE transports enforce a server-side EXCEL_FILES_PATH directory and reject absolute paths or directory traversal attempts. The server suits developers, data analysts, and automation engineers who need an AI agent to programmatically build or manipulate spreadsheets as part of a larger workflow.
