If you already use Excel Online By Cdata, the excel online by cdata mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. CData JDBC Driver connects to Excel Online by exposing them as relational SQL models.
Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
excel_online_get_tables — The excel_online_get_tables tool exposed by this serverexcel_online_get_columns — The excel_online_get_columns tool exposed by this serverexcel_online_run_query — The excel_online_run_query tool exposed by this serverPlenty of database access servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Excel Online By Cdata's toolset — excel_online_get_tables, excel_online_get_columns, excel_online_run_query — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by CDataSoftware; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
