# SheetForge MCP > Local-first Excel MCP server for AI agents that need structured reads, workbook introspection, and safer `.xlsx` mutation. SheetForge MCP is an Excel MCP server for `.xlsx` automation over the Model Context Protocol. It is built for AI agents, MCP clients, and automation workflows that need more than raw cell access: compact structured reads, workbook-aware guidance, layout-aware inspection, and safer write paths with Python and `openpyxl`, without launching Microsoft Excel or LibreOffice. If you are looking for an Excel MCP server for spreadsheet automation, workbook inspection, Excel report generation, dashboard authoring, or `.xlsx` editing from AI tools, SheetForge MCP is built for that workflow. Instead of treating every sheet as a blind cell grid, SheetForge helps agents distinguish native Excel tables, worksheet-shaped datasets, layout-heavy dashboards, and chart sheets, then choose the right read or mutation path for each workbook task. Package name: `sheetforge-mcp` CLI command: `sheetforge-mcp` Published package release: `0.13.0` Repository docs track the current main-branch tool surface, which currently exposes `82` MCP tools. Verified Recipes v1 is included in `0.11.0`: reusable native-table reports with explicit checks and verified preview/commit. Verified Explanations v1 is included in `0.12.0`: read-only, independently reconciled changes between recomputed recipe results. Verified Rebase and Verified Scenarios v1 are included in `0.13.0`: intent-preserving keyed edits and outcome-checked alternatives with verified commits. ## Why SheetForge - outcome-checked alternatives via `evaluate_workbook_scenarios`: compare explicit keyed changes against exact overall/group metric bounds, then commit one selected outcome with post-save recomputation and rollback - intent-preserving table edits via `apply_table_patch`: rebind keyed updates against a pinned base, reject changed premises and conflicting writes, and commit a fresh verified…
