What is the XLSX.now MCP server?

It lets an AI assistant use XLSX.now converters as structured tools. The client can discover supported routes, start a conversion, check its status, and return a secure download URL.

MCP endpoint

https://xlsx.now/mcp

The server uses stateless Streamable HTTP transport. Your client must support remote HTTP servers and custom authentication headers.

Connect XLSX.now to Codex

  1. 1 Create an API key Sign in and open Dashboard → API Access.
  2. Save the key
    export XLSXNOW_API_KEY="xlsxnow_your_key_here"
    
  3. Add the remote server
    codex mcp add xlsx-now \
      --url https://xlsx.now/mcp \
      --bearer-token-env-var XLSXNOW_API_KEY
    
  4. Check the connection
    codex mcp get xlsx-now
    

Connect other MCP clients

Configuration names vary, but the URL and authentication header are the same:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xlsx-now": {
      "url": "https://xlsx.now/mcp",
      "headers": { "X-Api-Key": "xlsxnow_your_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

Authentication

Create or regenerate the key in the API dashboard. You may also send it as Authorization: Bearer …. It uses the same credits, limits, and ownership rules as the REST API and is never returned in tool output.

Verify the MCP connection

Ask your client: “List the available XLSX.now converters.” This calls list_converters without using credits. Then ask for API usage to confirm authentication.

If it fails: 401 means an invalid key; 402 means insufficient credits; 429 means the request limit was reached.

Example workflow

Ask your assistant:

Security and limits

  • Only public HTTP and HTTPS source URLs are accepted.
  • Private, loopback, link-local, and reserved addresses are blocked.
  • Every redirect is validated before it is followed.
  • Source downloads are size-limited and use temporary storage.
  • Files follow the normal XLSX.now retention policy.
