Introduction

The JSON to Excel MCP (Model Context Protocol) provides a standardized interface for converting JSON data into CSV format string using the Model Context Protocol. This MCP implementation offers two specific tools for data conversion:

  • json_to_excel_mcp_from_data: Converts JSON data string into CSV format.

  • json_to_excel_mcp_from_url: Converts JSON file from a provided URL (.json format) into CSV format string.

JSON to Excel MCP is part of JSON to Excel toolkit by WTSolutions:

Example Prompt 1

Convert JSON file to Excel, file URL: https://mcp.wtsolutions.cn/example.json

Example Prompt 2

(applicable only when you do not have a URL and working with online AI LLM)

I've just uploaded one .json file to you, please extract its URL and send it to MCP tool 'json_to_excel_mcp_from_url', for JSON to Excel conversion.

Response Format

The MCP tools return a JSON object with the following structure:

Field

Type

Description

isError

boolean

Indicates if there was an error processing the request

msg

string

'success' or error description

data

string

Converted CSV data string, '' if there was an error. This CSV data can be easily imported into Excel.

Example Success Response

{
  "content": [{
    "type": "text",
    "text": "{\"isError\":false,\"msg\":\"success\",\"data\":\"Name,Age,IsStudent\nJohn Doe,25,false\nJane Smith,30,true\"}"
  }]
}

Above is the response from MCP tool, and in most cases your LLM should interpret the response and present you with a JSON object, for example as below.

Note, different LLM models may have different ways to interpret the JSON object, so please check if the JSON object is correctly interpreted by your LLM model.

{
  "isError": false,
  "msg": "success",
  "data": "Name,Age,IsStudent\nJohn Doe,25,false\nJane Smith,30,true"
}

Example Failed Response

{
  "content": [{
    "type": "text",
    "text": "{\"isError\": true, \"msg\": \"Invalid JSON format\", \"data\": \"\"}"
  }]
}

Above is the response from MCP tool, and in most cases your LLM should interpret the response and present you with a JSON object, for example as below.

Note, different LLM models may have different ways to interpret the JSON object, so please check if the response is correctly interpreted by your LLM model.

{
  "isError": true,
  "msg": "Invalid JSON format",
  "data": ""
}

or it is also possible that your LLM would say "Invalid JSON format, please provide a valid JSON string" to you.

Data Type Handling

The API automatically handles different data types in JSON:

  • Numbers: Converted to numeric values in CSV

  • Booleans: Converted to 'true'/'false' strings

  • Strings: Escaped and quoted if necessary

  • Arrays: Converted to JSON.stringify array string

  • Objects: Converted to JSON.stringify object string

Error Handling

The MCP returns descriptive error messages for common issues:

  • Invalid JSON format: When input data is not a valid JSON string

  • Empty JSON data: When input data is an empty JSON string

  • Network Error when fetching file: When there's an error downloading the file from the provided URL

  • File not found: When the file at the provided URL cannot be found

  • Server Internal Error: When an unexpected error occurs

    A3.7/5.0

    Scored across 2 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: one processes JSON data directly, while the other fetches JSON from a URL before conversion. There is no overlap or ambiguity between them.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    Both tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with 'json_to_excel_mcp_from_' prefix, differentiated by 'data' and 'url' suffixes. The naming is perfectly uniform and predictable.

    Tool Count3/5

    Two tools are borderline for a JSON-to-Excel conversion server, as it feels thin but covers the basic input methods (direct data and URL). It's reasonable but could benefit from additional tools like format customization or batch processing.

    Completeness4/5

    The server covers the core conversion functionality from JSON to CSV (implied Excel format) for both data and URL inputs, with minor gaps such as lack of output format options or error handling tools, but agents can work around these.
