Pptx-XlsxSAFE

This repository contains Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for interacting with Microsoft Office applications through AI assistance. Currently supported applications:

• PowerPoint: Create and manipulate presentations
• Excel: Interact with workbooks and spreadsheets

Both servers use pywin32 for COM automation, allowing direct interaction with running Office applications.

Prerequisites

• Windows operating system
• Microsoft Office installed (PowerPoint and/or Excel)
• Python 3.7+
