Available tools 8

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

cell
get_cell_display_value
Return the formatted display string for one cell. Use when an agent needs what a user would see, not the raw numeric value.
read_cell
Read one cell with calculated value, display text, formula text, formula diagnostics, and serialized content. Use after set_cell_contents to verify readback.
set_cell_contents
Write raw content to one cell and recalculate dependents in memory only. Start with --writable when the edit should persist to JSON.
set_cell_contents_and_readback
Write raw content to one cell, recalculate dependents, read a dependent range in the same tool call, and return persistence proof. Use this for stateless MCP clients such as hosted Open WebUI integrations.
export
export_workpaper_document
Export the current WorkPaper JSON document for persistence, review, or handoff to another agent. Does not write files by itself.
range
read_range
Read calculated values plus serialized formulas/inputs for an A1 range. Use for audit readback after edits; use read_cell for one address.
sheets
list_sheets
Discover sheet names and used dimensions before reading or editing a WorkPaper. Returns metadata only; use read_range or read_cell for values.
validate
validate_formula
Validate formula syntax with the WorkPaper parser before writing it to a cell. This checks syntax only; use set_cell_contents plus readback to evaluate.

Bilig WorkPaper — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Bilig WorkPaper do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: export_workpaper_document, get_cell_display_value, list_sheets, read_cell, read_range, set_cell_contents and 2 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Bilig WorkPaper working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 563 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Bilig WorkPaper?
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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Bilig WorkPaper need an API key?
No. Bilig WorkPaper completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Bilig WorkPaper?
It answers our handshake in 563 ms on average, which is faster than 18% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Bilig WorkPaper?
The npm package @bilig/workpaper was installed 232 times in the last week. Week over week that is -14%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Bilig WorkPaper open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 35 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
