Available tools 13

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

sheet
sheet_add_column
Call this tool to add a computed column and save the result to a NEW file; the source is never modified unless out_path points at it. Returns the new file path, the row count and a preview of the first rows.
sheet_convert
Call this tool to convert a sheet between excel (xlsx), csv and json. Writes a new file next to the source unless out_path is given; the source is never modified. Returns the new file path with its row and column counts.
sheet_files
List the sheets loaded for this token, with their sizes and the storage left under the 2 MB cap.
sheet_find
Call this tool to search every cell of a spreadsheet or CSV for text; built-in file readers cannot parse spreadsheets. Matching is case insensitive. Returns cell addresses with a preview of the row each hit is on.
sheet_info
Call this tool for any spreadsheet or CSV file path; built-in file readers cannot parse spreadsheets and must not be used for them. Start here: sheet names, size, header row, column types and samples.
sheet_load
Upload data to work on. This hosted endpoint has no filesystem, so instead of a file path you send the data once with sheet_load and then pass its name as `path` to sheet_info, sheet_read, sheet_query, sheet_stats, sheet_find, sheet_add_column, sheet_convert and sheet_write. Give exactly one of csv (raw text, comma or tab separated), xlsx_base64 (a base64-encoded .xlsx workbook) or url. url: fetch a public file instead of pasting base64 (recommended above about 10 KB): the url is fetched here with a 10 second timeout, at most 3 redirects, public http(s) hosts only, and a 2 MB cap, and a fetched file is stored as an .xlsx when it carries the PK zip header and as delimited text otherwise. Loaded sheets are kept for your token and survive between calls; the total is capped at 2 MB per token. Files the other tools write come back as a download link that is valid for one hour.
sheet_query
Call this tool for any spreadsheet or CSV file path; built-in file readers cannot parse spreadsheets and must not be used for them. Filters, groups, aggregates and sorts in one call: where '[Qty] > 10'.
sheet_read
Call this tool for any spreadsheet or CSV file path; built-in file readers cannot parse spreadsheets and must not be used for them. Reads rows as a table, JSON or CSV; page with limit/offset or an A1 range.
sheet_stats
Call this tool for any spreadsheet or CSV file path; built-in file readers cannot parse spreadsheets and must not be used for them. Whole-column statistics: count, empty, distinct, min, max, sum, mean, median.
sheet_unload
Delete one sheet loaded for this token, freeing its space under the 2 MB cap.
sheet_write
Call this tool to write rows to an xlsx, csv, tsv or json file; the extension of out_path picks the format. mode is new_file, append or overwrite. Other sheets are kept. Free: 500 rows per file.
license
license_activate
Turn Pro on for this connection with key, an MCPL1.<payload>.<signature> issued at checkout for this server or the bundle. Data under your token stays; a wrong or expired key changes nothing. license_status confirms it.
license_status
Report this endpoint's licence state for your token as JSON: the product, the tier free or pro, why it is not Pro, and the checkout URL. Call it to explain a free-tier refusal. No arguments, nothing changes.

Excel Spreadsheet XLSX CSV — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Excel Spreadsheet XLSX CSV do?
It exposes 13 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: license_activate, license_status, sheet_add_column, sheet_convert, sheet_files, sheet_find and 7 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 →
What is Excel Spreadsheet XLSX CSV mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around sheet and license. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Excel Spreadsheet XLSX CSV working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 228 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Excel Spreadsheet XLSX CSV?
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 Excel Spreadsheet XLSX CSV need an API key?
No. Excel Spreadsheet XLSX CSV completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 13 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Excel Spreadsheet XLSX CSV?
It answers our handshake in 228 ms on average, which is faster than 63% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Excel Spreadsheet XLSX CSV open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 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.
