mcp.tc/i/excelÜber den Server
Works with .xlsx, .xlsm, .xltx and .xltm files through openpyxl. You can read and write cells, formulas and dates, format ranges, manage sheets, rows and columns, add tables, charts, conditional formats and data validation, write static summary tables, and read VBA macro code (never run). Formulas are stored, not calculated, and real PivotTables cannot be created.
Runs locally over stdio with uvx: uvx excel-mcp-server stdio --allow-dir /path/to/workbooks. No sign-in or API key is needed. Access is limited to the folder you allow, formulas that reach the network or other programs are rejected, and a read-only mode is available. A Streamable HTTP mode and a Docker image also exist.

Does Excel need an API key?
No. It doesn’t declare any keys or environment variables. It runs with your user account’s permissions, so check what its tools can reach.
Is Excel a remote or a local server?
Local. Your client starts it as a process on your computer with uvx excel-mcp-server stdio --allow-dir /path/to/workbooks, which needs uv (Python).
