format_excel_cells

MCP tool from Excel Vision MCP by VOYAGER-Inc

Style a range: font, colors, borders, alignment, number formats. Only the attributes you pass are changed — existing styling is preserved.

How to use it

Project documentation lists format_excel_cells for the Excel Vision MCP MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
