office-mcp

What This Skill Does

The office-mcp skill is a specialized toolset designed for OpenClaw AI agents, enabling direct interaction with Microsoft Office formats (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint). By wrapping complex document manipulation libraries into standardized MCP tools, it allows users to automate the creation and editing of professional-grade files through simple natural language commands. This skill handles the underlying logic of document structure, allowing the AI to generate reports, build complex spreadsheets with formulas, and structure presentation decks from scratch.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, ensure you have the OpenClaw agent runtime installed. Run the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/lijie420461340/office-mcp

Additionally, you must install the core Python dependencies to support document generation. Use the following command:

pip install python-docx openpyxl python-pptx reportlab jinja2

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for knowledge workers, data analysts, and administrative assistants who need to convert raw data into structured documentation. It is particularly effective for generating recurring monthly reports, batch-producing invoices in Excel, or rapidly prototyping presentation outlines based on research notes provided to the AI. Because the skill leverages native Python libraries, it maintains high fidelity to standard Office formats.

Example Prompts

1. "Create a formal project proposal in Word based on the meeting notes I just uploaded, including a title page and three distinct sections."
2. "Take the sales data from my recent CSV and build an Excel spreadsheet that calculates quarterly totals and highlights margins in a new sheet."
3. "Generate a 5-slide PowerPoint presentation covering the Q3 marketing strategy, using the bullet points provided in the current chat."

Tips & Limitations

For optimal results, ensure your input data is clean and structured. When working with large files, always utilize the recommended temporary file storage paths to avoid memory overhead. The skill currently supports standard formatting; however, highly complex macros or specific custom branding templates may require manual adjustment post-generation. Always validate the generated content before final distribution. If the AI encounters a complex file, it may be beneficial to break the request into smaller operations to maintain stability.
