# Office Mcp Skill
## Overview
This skill wraps Office document operations as MCP tools, allowing Claude to create, edit, and manipulate Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files with standardized interfaces.
## How to Use
1. Describe what you want to accomplish
2. Provide any required input data or files
3. I'll execute the appropriate operations
**Example prompts:**
- "Create Word documents with AI-generated content"
- "Build Excel spreadsheets with formulas"
- "Generate PowerPoint presentations"
- "Batch edit Office documents"
## Domain Knowledge
### Office MCP Tools
| Tool | Input | Output |
|------|-------|--------|
| `create_docx` | Title, sections, styles | .docx file |
| `edit_docx` | Path, changes | Updated .docx |
| `create_xlsx` | Data, formulas | .xlsx file |
| `create_pptx` | Slides, layout | .pptx file |
### Integration with Claude Skills
```markdown
# Example: Combining Skills + MCP
User: "Create a sales report from this data"
1. Data Analysis Skill → Analyze data
2. office-mcp/create_docx → Generate Word report
3. office-mcp/create_xlsx → Generate Excel summary
4. office-mcp/create_pptx → Generate PowerPoint deck
```
### MCP Server Implementation
```python
from mcp import Server
from docx import Document
from openpyxl import Workbook
server = Server("office-mcp")
@server.tool("create_docx")
async def create_docx(title: str, content: str, output_path: str):
doc = Document()
doc.add_heading(title, 0)
doc.add_paragraph(content)
doc.save(output_path)
return {"status": "success", "path": output_path}
@server.tool("create_xlsx")
async def create_xlsx(data: list, output_path: str):
wb = Workbook()
ws = wb.active
for row in data:
ws.append(row)
wb.save(output_path)
return {"status": "success", "path": output_path}
```
## Best Practices
1. **Validate inputs before document operations**
2. **Use temp files for large documents**
3. **Return structured responses with file paths**
4. **Handle errors gracefully with meaningful messages**
## Installation
```bash
# Install required dependencies
pip install python-docx openpyxl python-pptx reportlab jinja2
```
