Indie developer JulianPoleszczuk released office-mcp, an MCP server that lets Claude control PowerPoint, Excel and Word on Windows through COM automation. Built because no similar tool existed, it targets users still on Office 2019 without official Copilot support. Repo: github.com/JulianPoleszczuk/office-mcp (5 stars), feedback and feature ideas welcome.
