It can refresh Power Query, recalculate formulas, evaluate\nDAX, run VBA and Python `=PY()`, and preserve PivotTables, charts, macros, the\nData Model, and workbook formatting.\n\n**31 tools with 326 operations** cover end-to-end Excel automation.\n\n> [!IMPORTANT]\n> Requires **Windows**, **Microsoft Excel 2016 or later**, and an interactive\n> desktop. It is not intended for Linux, macOS, or server-side batch processing.\n\n## 🚀 Get Started\n\n| Use case | Recommended path |\n|---|---|\n| **VS Code** | [Install the extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sbroenne.excel-mcp) |\n| **Claude Desktop or another MCP client** | [Install the MCP Server](https://excelmcpserver.dev/installation-mcp-server/) |\n| **Coding agents and scripts** | [Install the CLI](https://excelmcpserver.dev/installation-cli/) |\n| **Not sure which to choose?** | [Read the installation overview](https://excelmcpserver.dev/installation/) |\n\nClose open Excel workbooks before starting; ExcelMcp requires exclusive access\nwhile automating them.\n\n## What You Can Automate\n\n- **[Data & analytics](https://excelmcpserver.dev/features/data-analytics/):**\n  Power Query, DAX, Power Pivot, Excel Tables, PivotTables, and data connections.\n- **[Cells & workbooks](https://excelmcpserver.dev/features/cells-workbooks/):**\n  ranges, formulas, formatting, worksheets, files, calculation, and named ranges.\n- **[Charts & visuals](https://excelmcpserver.dev/features/charts-visuals/):**\n  charts, slicers, conditional formatting, screenshots, drawings, and sparklines.\n- **[Automation & advanced](https://excelmcpserver.dev/features/automation-advanced/):**\n  VBA, Python in Excel, Goal Seek, scenarios, data tables, windows, and XML Maps.\n\nExplore the [complete reference for all 326 operations](https://excelmcpserver.dev/features/).\n\n## See It in Action\n\n[![A sales table, regional summary, and chart created in the real Excel application by Excel MCP Server](https://excelmcpserver.dev/assets/images/excel-demo-table-chart.png)](https://excelmcpserver.dev/use-cases/)\n\nAsk in plain language:\n\n- *\"Import products.csv with Power Query and load it to the Data Model.\"*\n- *\"Create a PivotTable showing revenue by region, then add a column chart.\"*\n- *\"Use Goal Seek to find the price that produces $100,000 profit.\"*\n- *\"Show me Excel while you work.\"*\n\nBecause Excel performs the work, you can inspect results live and continue editing\nthe workbook normally.\n\n[See more examples and use cases](https://excelmcpserver.dev/use-cases/).\n\n## MCP Server or CLI?\n\nBoth entry points expose the same Core commands and behavior.\n\n| Interface | Best for | Why |\n|---|---|---|\n| **MCP Server** | Conversational assistants and exploratory work | Rich schemas, tool discovery, and persistent sessions |\n| **CLI (`excelcli`)** | Coding agents, automation, and scripts | One compact tool surface and substantially lower token usage |\n\nThe MCP Server calls the ExcelMcp service in-process. The CLI uses a background\ndaemon so workbook sessions persist across commands.\n\n```text\nAI assistant or script\n        │\n   MCP Server / CLI\n        │\n ExcelMcp Core commands\n        │\n Real Excel COM API\n```\n\n[Read the architecture](docs/ARCHITECTURE.md) or browse the\n[MCP Server](https://excelmcpserver.dev/mcp-server/) and\n[CLI](https://excelmcpserver.dev/cli/) guides.\n\n## ⭐ GitHub Star History\n\n[![GitHub stars over time for ExcelMcp](https://excelmcpserver.dev/assets/images/star-history.svg)](https://github.com/sbroenne/mcp-server-excel/stargazers)\n\n## 📋 Additional Information\n\n[Documentation](https://excelmcpserver.dev/) ·\n[Changelog](https://excelmcpserver.dev/changelog/) ·\n[Contributing](https://excelmcpserver.dev/contributing/) ·\n[Security](https://excelmcpserver.dev/security/) ·\n[Privacy](https://excelmcpserver.dev/privacy/)\n\n**License:** MIT License - see [LICENSE](LICENSE) file\n\n## Related Projects\n\nOther projects by the author:\n\n- [PowerPoint MCP Server](https://powerpointmcpserver.dev/) — AI-powered PowerPoint automation via MCP, the sister project to this one\n- [pytest-skill-engineering](https://github.com/sbroenne/pytest-skill-engineering) — LLM-powered testing framework for AI agents\n- [Windows MCP Server](https://windowsmcpserver.dev/) — AI-powered Windows automation via MCP\n- [OBS Studio MCP Server](https://github.com/sbroenne/mcp-server-obs) — AI-powered OBS Studio automation\n",
