Overview

What is Excel Mcp?

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.

How to use Excel Mcp?

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.

It provides a single tool `read_excel` that reads and understands an Excel file at a given path.
