XLS.now MCP Server
Convert XLS spreadsheets to modern document, image and spreadsheet formats.
What it does
XLS.now MCP Server 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 clean and merge spreadsheets or build financial models.
Facts come from the Official MCP Registry, as declared by the publisher. Capabilities are matched automatically (low confidence). None of this is a test of the tool.

Live check
Electra Index connected to the hosted endpoint 2h agoONLINE XLS.now MCP Server answered an MCP connection on 27 Oct 2026 and introduced itself as xls.now 1.0.0 (MCP protocol 2025-06-18).
The server did not list its tools to an anonymous client.
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.
