Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Runs an external command src/daemon/client.ts:77, src/launch/launchExcel.ts:463, src/utils/check-for-updates.ts:82

  const child = spawn(process.execPath, [DAEMON_SCRIPT_PATH, ...mcpArgs], {

Builds a file path from a variable src/launch/launchExcel.ts:396, src/telemetry/persistence.ts:19, src/utils/files.ts:12

    const baseCandidate = path.join(entry, command);

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Excel Webview2 MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Excel Webview2 MCP?

Excel Webview2 MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @dsbissett/excel-webview2-mcp was installed 53 times last week.

How do I connect Excel Webview2 MCP?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @dsbissett/excel-webview2-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Excel Webview2 MCP?

The npm package @dsbissett/excel-webview2-mcp was installed 53 times in the last week. Week over week that is +63%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Excel Webview2 MCP open source?

We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript and 2 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
