excel

MCP tool from Desktop Touch MCP by Harusame64

Author and run Excel VBA macros via COM. action='runvba' writes a macro into a managed Trusted Location and runs it; action='checkaccessvbom' is a read-only preflight. Runs VBA where formula-only tools cannot. One-time setup: node scripts/enable-access-vbom.mjs.

How to use it

excel is exposed by the Desktop Touch MCP MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), and the excel tool becomes available to the model automatically. See the full listing for setup details and every tool this server provides.

Launch apps and auto-detect new HWNDs (supports localized titles).

Instant session orientation: all window thumbnails + UI summaries in one call.
