# excel-webview2

Hub wrote this skill from its listing of `io.github.dsbissett/excel-webview2-mcp` v0.0.13. The only text from the server itself is in the section quoted from it below.

## How to reach it

- The client starts it as a local process (stdio): `npx -y @dsbissett/[email protected]`.
- Your MCP client knows it as `excel-webview2` (`clients/` configures it under that name); call its tools by the names below. Claude Code shows them as `mcp__excel-webview2__<tool>`.
- No credentials.

## Tools

59 tools. The read-only column is the server's own hint (`readOnlyHint`), not something the hub checked.
