Office MCP Server

An MCP server that lets Claude control Microsoft Word and Excel on macOS via AppleScript.

98 tools - 59 for Word, 39 for Excel - covering documents, text, tables, formatting, navigation, clipboard, headers/footers, sections, images, and more.

Features

  • Rich object clipboard - copy and paste content with full formatting between documents, not just plain text. Move styled paragraphs, images, and table fragments without losing anything.

  • Deep table operations - full CRUD on rows, columns, and cells in both Word and Excel. Find columns by header text, add/delete rows and columns, read and write individual cells.

  • Cross-app coverage - one server handles both Word and Excel. Create a spreadsheet, process data, then build a formatted report in Word - all in a single conversation.

  • Headers, footers, and sections - read and write headers/footers per section, insert images into them, control page setup, margins, and orientation. Most MCP servers ignore these entirely.

  • Formatting-aware - read current text and paragraph formatting (font, size, bold, color, alignment, indents, spacing). Apply styles, format selections, set number formats in Excel.

  • Image support - insert images into documents and headers/footers, resize inline shapes, create reusable image refs for repeated insertion.

  • 98 tools total - 59 for Word, 39 for Excel. Not a thin wrapper - full document automation.
