CSV File Tools
Inspect, filter, sort and edit CSV text with four free tools. No account or API key required.
What it does
CSV File Tools is an MCP server, a connector that lets an AI assistant use it as a tool. It is hosted: an assistant connects to it over the internet, nothing to install.
From the publisher's description, Electra Index matched it to one capability: spreadsheet automation. That makes it a candidate for tasks such as build financial models or clean and merge spreadsheets.
Facts come from the Official MCP Registry, as declared by the publisher. Capabilities are matched automatically (low confidence) and are not a test of the tool.

4 tools offered to AI assistants
inspect_csv· Return record, maximum column and cell counts with up to 20 preview records. Preserve ragged and empty records; never infer types or a delimiter.filter_csv_rows· Keep data records whose explicit zero-based column equals an exact string. Header defaults to preserved. Reject missing target columns; preserve empty and ragged records otherwise.sort_csv_rows· Stably sort data records by an explicit zero-based column using literal code-unit string order, asc or desc. Header defaults to preserved. No numeric, date or locale inference. Reject missing target columns.edit_csv_cells· Apply up to 1,000 explicit edits to existing cells only. Zero-based row indices include the header. Duplicate coordinates apply in input order. Return complete CSV with literal string values; never evaluate formulas.
What "online" means: the server answered an MCP connection at the time of the check. It is not a guarantee of security, quality or continuous uptime. How we test: we open an MCP session and ask for the tool list, as an AI assistant would. We never run a tool and never send a key. Checked every few days. Method
Is this your server? Monitoring Pro: a check every 30 minutes and an email within the hour when it stops answering. Launch offer: $39.99 once, for life.
