Generate Excel file?

[adrianmihalko]

On chatgpt.com I can generate Excel files, but when I am trying to do the same in LibreChat I get error:

I can't directly create or send files, including Excel files. However, I can guide you on how to create an Excel file using various tools like Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or programming languages like Python. Let me know which method you prefer, and I can provide you with the steps or code to do so.

Currently it is not supported?

Any news on this ?
This feature should be a must have!

Hello @danny-avila

I don't understand how the code interpreter could be used to tell the chatbot to put in an Excel file some data that it's generating.
Could you give me more details on the right procedure?
Thanks

This looks awesome. I was thinking about creating something similar that could work with existing MS Office Documents. Does Librechat have the ability to send a full file to an MCP server?

Not yet, there is however a request to implement it. However this would be the easy part, the actual modification of the file would be the hard one (especially when working with docx files is quite cumbersome in general).

Do you happen to know which issue or discussion contains the request to implement it?

Hey @dvejsada
i've installed and runned your MCP server but Librechat is not able to connect.
At launch it tries 3 times and fail.

2025-09-04T10:56:34.114Z debug: [MCP][office-docs] Transport sending: {"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-06-18","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"@librech... [truncated]

This is the server URL i see in the container terminal
🔗 Server URL: http://0.0.0.0:8958/mcp⁠

so this is my config in the librechat.yml file

mcpServers:
  office-docs:
    type: streamable-http
    url: http://0.0.0.0:8958/mcp  # Adjust URL if running on different host
    timeout: 120000  # Allow extra time for document generation

Am I missing something ?

It has to be http://localhost:8958/mcp if running locally on your computer. Port 8958 must be also published to host from container.
