Que pouvez-vous faire avec MCP Server for Excel ?

Installation

Ajoutez ceci à la configuration MCP de votre client (Claude Desktop : claude_desktop_config.json ; Cursor : .cursor/mcp.json ; VS Code et les autres utilisent la même forme « mcpServers »).

NUGET package Sbroenne.ExcelMcp.McpServer
Claude Code 
claude mcp add mcp-server-for-excel -- dnx Sbroenne.ExcelMcp.McpServer@2.5.6 --yes
Configuration JSON (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code) 
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "mcp-server-for-excel": {
            "command": "dnx",
            "args": [
                "Sbroenne.ExcelMcp.McpServer@2.5.6",
                "--yes"
            ]
        }
    }
}
NPM package @sbroenne/mcp-server-excel
Claude Code 
claude mcp add mcp-server-for-excel -- npx -y @sbroenne/mcp-server-excel@2.5.6
Configuration JSON (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code) 
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "mcp-server-for-excel": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",

ExcelMcp - MCP Server for Microsoft Excel

**Website** · **Installation** · **Features** · **Troubleshooting** · **2-minute demo**

Automate real Microsoft Excel with AI. Excel MCP Server lets GitHub Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, and other agents control Excel through natural-language requests—using either MCP or a token-efficient CLI.

Unlike file-parser tools, ExcelMcp drives the actual Excel application through its official COM API. It can refresh Power Query, recalculate formulas, evaluate DAX, run VBA and Python =PY(), and preserve PivotTables, charts, macros, the Data Model, and workbook formatting.

63 MCP tools across 33 feature areas, with 424 operations, cover end-to-end Excel automation.

[!IMPORTANT] Requires Windows, Microsoft Excel 2016 or later, and an interactive desktop. It is not intended for Linux, macOS, or server-side batch processing.

🚀 Get Started

Use caseRecommended path
VS CodeInstall the extension
Claude Desktop or another MCP clientInstall the MCP Server
Coding agents (fewer AI tokens)Install the CLI
Not sure which to choose?Read the installation overview

For GitHub Copilot CLI, install either plugin from the Awesome Copilot Excel listings:

copilot plugin install excel-mcp@awesome-copilot
# Or, for command-line Excel automation:
copilot plugin install excel-cli@awesome-copilot

Close open Excel workbooks before starting; ExcelMcp requires exclusive access while automating them.

What You Can Automate

  • Data & analytics: Power Query, DAX, Power Pivot, Excel Tables, PivotTables, and data connections.
  • Cells & workbooks: ranges, formulas, formatting, worksheets, files, calculation, and named ranges.
  • Charts & visuals: charts, slicers, conditional formatting, screenshots, drawings, and sparklines.
  • Automation & advanced: VBA, Python in Excel, Goal Seek, scenarios, data tables, windows, and XML Maps.

Explore the capabilities behind all 424 operations. Current command details come from CLI help or the MCP tool descriptions.

See It in Action

Ask in plain language:

  • "Import products.csv with Power Query and load it to the Data Model."
  • "Create a PivotTable showing revenue by region, then add a column chart."
  • "Use Goal Seek to find the price that produces $100,000 profit."
  • "Show me Excel while you work."

Because Excel performs the work, you can inspect results live and continue editing the workbook normally.

See more examples and use cases.

MCP Server or CLI?

Both entry points expose the same Excel commands and behavior, so the choice is technical. Coding agents can use either one.

InterfaceWorks withWhy
MCP ServerAny MCP-compatible clientTool discovery and persistent sessions
CLI (excelcli)Agents that can run terminal commandsBuilt-in help without loading MCP tool definitions, usually with fewer AI tokens

The MCP Server calls the ExcelMcp service in-process. The CLI uses a background daemon so workbook sessions persist across commands.
