LibreOffice MCP Tools
LibreOffice MCP-Tools
[!WARNING] Dieses Projekt wurde von GitHub Copilot geschrieben und wurde nicht vollständig von einem Menschen überprüft. Der Code kann Fehler, Sicherheitsprobleme oder unerwartetes Verhalten enthalten. Die Nutzung erfolgt auf eigenes Risiko. Nicht ohne gründliche Überprüfung in der Produktion verwenden.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP)-Server, der KI-Agenten (Claude, Copilot, Gemini, Cursor usw.) die Fähigkeit gibt, Office-Dokumente zu lesen, zu schreiben und zu bearbeiten – über LibreOffice, mit einem token-effizienten Design, das die LLM-Kontextnutzung minimiert.
Inspiriert von der Architektur von chrome-devtools-mcp.
✨ Funktionen
22 MCP-Tools für das Lesen, Schreiben, Tabellenkalkulationen und Präsentationen
Token-effizientes Design: Gliederungsbasierte Navigation, bereichsbasierter Zugriff, Paginierung
Breite Formatunterstützung: DOCX, DOC, XLSX, XLS, PPTX, PPT, ODT, ODS, ODP, RTF, CSV, TXT, PDF
Legacy-Format-Brücke:
.doc,.xls,.pptwerden vor dem Parsen automatisch über LibreOffice konvertiertKein LibreOffice für einfaches Lesen erforderlich: Native Parser verarbeiten DOCX, XLSX, PPTX direkt
LibreOffice erforderlich für: Legacy-Formate, PDF-Export, Formatkonvertierung

💡 Workflow zur Token-Einsparung
Für maximale Token-Effizienz folgen Sie diesem Muster:
1. document_open(filePath) → get docId
2. document_get_metadata(docId) → understand size/type
3. document_get_outline(docId) → see structure
4. document_read_range(docId, startIndex=N, endIndex=M) → read specific sectionAnstatt das gesamte Dokument auszugeben, navigieren Sie genau zu dem, was Sie benötigen.
Tabellenkalkulations-Workflow:
1. document_open(path) → docId
2. spreadsheet_list_sheets(docId) → see all sheets
3. spreadsheet_get_range(docId, sheetName="Sales", range="A1:D20") → targeted data🏗 Architektur

document_get_outlineA
Get the structural outline of a document:
Writer documents: headings hierarchy (H1, H2, H3...)
Calc spreadsheets: list of sheet names with row/column counts

Scored across 27 tools
Most tools have distinct purposes with clear boundaries, such as document operations versus presentation or spreadsheet tools. However, some overlap exists: document_read_text and document_read_range both handle reading content, and document_convert and document_export both involve format conversion, which could cause minor confusion in selection.
Tool names follow a highly consistent verb_noun pattern with clear prefixes (document_, presentation_, spreadsheet_) that group related operations. All names use snake_case uniformly, making them predictable and easy to parse for agents.
With 27 tools, the count is borderline high for a single server, potentially overwhelming for agents. While the tools cover a broad range of LibreOffice operations, the number feels heavy and could be streamlined by consolidating overlapping functions like reading or conversion tools.
The tool set provides comprehensive coverage for document, presentation, and spreadsheet workflows, including creation, reading, updating, conversion, and metadata operations. There are no obvious gaps; agents can perform full CRUD/lifecycle tasks across all supported file types without dead ends.
