ExcelMcp CLI
Excel automation for coding agents through terminal commands. It offers the same features as the Excel MCP Server and usually uses fewer AI tokens.
Run the self-contained Excel automation CLI through npm:
npx -y @sbroenne/excelcli@latest --help
npx -y @sbroenne/excelcli@latest -q session open "C:\Data\Book.xlsx"For repeated use, install the excelcli command on your PATH:
npm install --global @sbroenne/excelcli@latest
excelcli --versionRequires Node.js 18 or later, Windows x64 or ARM64, and Microsoft Excel 2016 or later on an interactive desktop. No separate .NET runtime is needed. Keep optional dependencies enabled so npm installs the matching Windows runtime. ARM64 Node.js selects the native ARM64 runtime; x64 Node.js selects x64, including on ARM64 Windows. A missing matching package is an error, not a fallback to another architecture.
The launcher forwards arguments, standard input/output, and exit codes to the existing CLI. Excel operations and session management are unchanged.
@latest selects the current npm release using normal npm caching. It does not
replace an already running background service. Finish and explicitly save/close
workbook sessions before stopping that service to use a new version.
Network access is needed for package downloads and update checks.
