Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security36
- Malware scan not yet available for this package.Unverified
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
- Install-script risk not yet assessed.Unverified
- 3 of 22 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency48
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass

- Actively maintained (last published 97 days ago).Pass
- Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability75
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 8425 tokens (~125/item across 67 items; 65 tools + 2 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management83
- Stability observed for 25 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial

- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 22% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety75
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- 0 of 2 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "run_macro" implies "execute" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
- An AI judge read all 66 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the MCP Office Word server?
MCP Office Word runs locally as a PyPI package, launched with uvx mcp-office. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Params: path, sheet, address (or ranges), bold, italic, font_size, font_color, bg_color, confirm. "alignment" Apply horizontal/vertical/wrap_text alignment. Params: path, sheet, address, horizontal, vertical, wrap_text, confirm. "border" Apply border to all sides of a cell or range. Params: path, sheet, address, border_style, color, confirm. "sheet_list" Apply formatting to the same address across multiple sheets. Params: path, sheets, address, style, number_format, alignment, column_widths, row_heights, confirm. "copy_format" Copy formatting only (no values) from src to dst range. Params: path, src_sheet, src_address, dst_sheet, dst_address, copy_border, confirm. "write_with_format" Write a 2-D array and apply formatting in one call. Params: path, sheet, address, data, style, number_format, alignment, confirm. "conditional" Apply a conditional-formatting rule to a range. Params: path, sheet, address, rule_type, condition, format_spec, formula, confirm.
