Awesome MCP › Desktop Automation
ExcelMcp is a Model Context Protocol server for Microsoft Excel written in C# on .NET 10. Instead of parsing workbook files, it drives the installed Excel application through the official COM automation API, so it performs live operations that file parsers cannot: refreshing Power Query, recalculating, refreshing PivotTables and the data model, evaluating DAX, running VBA macros and Python formulas, and editing existing workbooks while formulas, PivotTables, charts, macros and formatting stay intact. The server exposes 26 tools covering 234 operations, grouped into Power Query, data model and DAX measures, Excel tables, PivotTables, charts, VBA modules, ranges, worksheets, OLEDB and ODBC connections, named ranges, file and session management, calculation mode, slicers, conditional formatting, screenshots of ranges or sheets as PNG for visual verification by the model, and window management that shows or hides Excel, arranges windows and reports progress in the status bar. Because it controls the desktop application through COM, it runs only on Windows with Excel 2016 or later installed and a desktop session present, and it is not intended for server-side batch processing or for Linux and macOS users. Workbooks must be closed before use because the server needs exclusive access. Distribution includes a VS Code extension, a bundle for Claude Desktop and a standalone executable for any MCP client. The same functionality is also offered as a command-line interface, which the authors recommend for coding agents because a single command consumes far fewer tokens than a full set of tool schemas, while the MCP server suits conversational clients that benefit from tool discovery. Tool behaviour is validated with real language-model workflows through a companion test harness. Intended users are data analysts, developers and teams keeping Power Query, VBA or DAX code under version control.
