ExcelMcp - MCP Server for Microsoft Excel

Automate Excel with AI — A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for comprehensive Excel automation through conversational AI.

MCP Server for Excel enables AI assistants (GitHub Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT) to automate Excel through natural language commands. Automate Power Query, DAX measures, VBA macros, PivotTables, Charts, formatting, and data transformations (25 tools with 230 operations).

🛡️ 100% Safe - Uses Excel's Native COM API - Zero risk of file corruption. Unlike third-party libraries that manipulate .xlsx files directly, this project uses Excel's official API ensuring complete safety and compatibility.

💡 Interactive Development - See results instantly in Excel. Create a query, run it, inspect the output, refine and repeat. Excel becomes your AI-powered workspace for rapid development and testing.

🧪 LLM-Tested Quality - Tool behavior validated with real LLM workflows using pytest-skill-engineering. We test that LLMs correctly understand and use our tools.

Technical Requirements:

⚠️ Windows Only - COM interop is Windows-specific
⚠️ Excel Required - Microsoft Excel 2016 or later must be installed
⚠️ Desktop Environment - Controls actual Excel process (not for server-side processing)

🎯 What You Can Do

25 specialized tools with 230 operations:

🔄 Power Query (1 tool, 12 ops) - Atomic workflows, M code management, load destinations
📊 Data Model/DAX (2 tools, 19 ops) - Measures, relationships, model structure
🎨 Excel Tables (2 tools, 27 ops) - Lifecycle, filtering, sorting, structured references
📈 PivotTables (3 tools, 30 ops) - Creation, fields, aggregations, calculated members/fields
