Excel Mcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server written in TypeScript that reads .xlsx Excel files. It parses all sheets, extracts headers, and returns the first 10 rows of data, enabling interactive tools to understand spreadsheet contents via the MCP protocol.
Install dependencies with npm install, build the project with npm run build, then start the server by running ./build/index.js. The server listens for requests over stdio. Alternatively, configure it in your MCP client using the npx command shown in the README.
.xlsx filesIt provides a single tool `read_excel` that reads and understands an Excel file at a given path.
The `read_excel` tool requires one parameter: `filePath` (string), the full path to a `.xlsx` file.
It returns the names of all sheets, the header row for each sheet, and the first 10 rows of data from each sheet.
The server runs via Node.js and listens on stdio. You can start it directly with `./build/index.js` after building, or via `npx excel-mcp` in an MCP configuration.
No. The README specifies only stdio transport and does not mention any authentication mechanism.
