### Description (declared)

# excel-mcp-polars

An MCP server that lets LLMs inspect, query, and transform tabular files using [Polars](https://pola.rs/) — the fast, Arrow-native DataFrame library.

Supports **Excel** (`.xlsx`, `.xlsm`, `.xlsb`, `.xls`), **CSV**, **TSV**, and **Parquet** files.

## Quick start

### With `uvx` (no install needed)

The fastest way — `uvx` downloads and runs the package on demand:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "excel": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["excel-mcp-polars"]
    }
  }
}
```

### With `pip`

```bash
pip install excel-mcp-polars
```

Then use `excel-mcp` as the command in your client config (see setup sections below).

---

## Client setup

### Claude Desktop

Edit the config file:

- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

**With `uvx`** (no prior install needed):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "excel": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["excel-mcp-polars"]
    }
  }
}
```

**With `pip install excel-mcp-polars`**:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "excel": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "excel-mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Restart Claude Desktop. You can now ask:

> "Load sales.xlsx, filter to Q4, group by region, and show me total revenue."

### Claude Code (CLI)

```bash
claude mcp add excel-mcp -- uvx excel-mcp-polars
```

### GitHub Copilot / VS Code

**Option A — Workspace config** (`.vscode/mcp.json`, committed to the repo):

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "excel": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["excel-mcp-polars"]
    }
  }
}
```

**Option B — User settings** (`settings.json`):

```json
{
  "mcp.servers": {
    "excel": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["excel-mcp-polars"]
    }
  }
}
```

After saving, run **MCP: Start Server** from the VS Code command palette.

> **Note on `pip install`**: If you installed via `pip` instead of `uvx`, replace `"uvx"` / `"args"…
