senoff / xlsx-for-ai
MCP server + CLI giving AI agents 50 spreadsheet tools for .xlsx — live-recalc formulas (~390 Excel functions), repair broken references & external links, read/write, diff, and audit. Works in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any MCP client.
senoff/xlsx-for-ai holds a health index of 78 out of 100, placing it in the Good band. It scores highest on Security (84/100) and lowest on Community & Adoption (36/100). It was last updated 1 day ago. A single contributor accounts for most of its recent work.
Software health index
Metrics are grouped into weighted categories on one standardized 1–100 scale. Overall starts as their weighted mean, calibrated against the distribution of the public record so bands carry percentile meaning; when public evidence triggers the High-Risk Jurisdiction Policy, the rating is adjusted and receives an At Risk ceiling of 34.
Score profile
Each axis is a category. The shape matters more than the average — a healthy subject fills the whole shape, while a spike-and-crater profile means strength in one dimension is masking risk in another.
The weighted overall 67 is calibrated to 78 on the published index scale (record calibration 2026-08-02).
Ownership
This repository is owned by a personal account. A single-owner project carries more continuity risk than an organization-backed one.

Dependency advisories 0
Installing npm:xlsx-for-ai@4.0.3 pulls in 95 packages, direct and transitive: 0 carry known advisories, of which 0 are direct dependencies.
No known advisories affect the assessed dependencies.
An advisory means the version recorded in the dependency graph falls inside an advisory’s affected range. Reachability is not analysed, and the graph includes development and test pins — a finding may concern tooling rather than shipped software.
