Frequently asked questions

1

What are the prerequisites for using Excel MCP Server?

Python 3.10 or higher is required. No Microsoft Excel installation is needed.

It uses Server-Sent Events (SSE). For use with Claude Desktop (which requires stdio), you can use Supergateway to convert SSE to stdio.

Add a JSON configuration to Cursor with the server’s SSE URL (e.g., `http://localhost:8000/sse`) and set the `EXCEL_FILES_PATH` environment variable to the directory containing your Excel files.

4

Where are Excel files stored by default?

They are stored in the `./excel_files` directory relative to where the server runs. This path can be changed with the `EXCEL_FILES_PATH` environment variable.
