MCP client configuration template

Copy this to your MCP client config directory and fill in your paths.

For Claude Desktop: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

For VS Code Copilot: use the "servers" root key instead — this file uses Claude Desktop format only.

Replace ALL occurrences of:

C:\path\to\mcp-office → absolute path where you cloned this repo

C:\path\to\your\files → directory where your Office files live

Only include servers for packages you have installed.

Restart your MCP client after saving.
