Spreadsheet automation, data analysis, reporting, and collaborative data workflows. It lets agents call Microsoft Excel actions like Get workbook, List worksheets, Read range, and Update range without writing custom integration code.

Question 2

Which Microsoft Excel actions are available through MCP?

The Agen Microsoft Excel MCP connector exposes 5 scoped actions including Get workbook, List worksheets, Read range, and Update range. Each action is mapped to a specific Microsoft Excel OAuth scope so agents only get the permissions they need for the task.
