Install @anh9thgg/mcp-excel in Codex
What you need first
- Codex, installed.
- Node.js, which
gives the
npxcommand the server starts with.
Steps
- Run this in a terminal. It writes the server into
~/.codex/config.toml, which the Codex CLI, its IDE extension and the ChatGPT desktop app share.
codex mcp add mcp-excel -- npx -y @anh9thgg/mcp-excel - Start Codex again and type
/mcp: the server is listed.
Check it worked
Ask Codex: List the tools of mcp-excel.
If it does not start
- spawn npx ENOENT
- Node.js is not on the PATH that Codex sees. Install it, or write the
full path of
npxin the config.
