How do I install Microsoft Office?

Copy the stdio config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.

Does Microsoft Office need an API key?

The publisher lists these environment variables: MCP_OFFICE_SIDECAR_STATE, MCP_OFFICE_SIDECAR_DISABLE, REBEL_DISABLE_OFFICE_SIDECAR, MCP_OFFICE_SIDECAR_STATE_DIR, MCP_OFFICE_ADDIN_DIR.

What transport does Microsoft Office use?

Microsoft Office runs locally over stdio.

When was Microsoft Office last checked?

Last checked 2026-11-11. Microsoft Office MCP server: read and edit Word documents, Excel workbooks, and PowerPoint files

Credentials from the publisher

MCP_OFFICE_SIDECAR_STATE — Absolute path to sidecar state file (host-managed; sidecar writes port + token here)
MCP_OFFICE_SIDECAR_DISABLE — Kill-switch — set to 1 to refuse to spawn or talk to the sidecar
REBEL_DISABLE_OFFICE_SIDECAR — DEPRECATED legacy alias for MCP_OFFICE_SIDECAR_DISABLE — still honored for backward compatibility with v0.1.1 operator-set kill-switches; will be removed in a future major version. Use MCP_OFFICE_SIDECAR_DISABLE instead.
MCP_OFFICE_SIDECAR_STATE_DIR — Sidecar state directory (certs, per-app manifests). Normally derived from MCP_OFFICE_SIDECAR_STATE; hosts managing the sidecar lifecycle directly can override.
MCP_OFFICE_ADDIN_DIR — Absolute path to the built add-in static files. Defaults to the package's dist/addin/ directory.

Claude Code has no install link for a local command. Copy the command below and run it in a terminal.
