Safety notes✓Office Word MCP Server can create, copy, merge, convert, protect, sign, and modify Word documents. Editing tools can alter paragraphs, tables, lists, images, footnotes, endnotes, formatting, styles, comments, and document properties. Review generated documents before sharing, signing, converting to PDF, or using them as legal, financial, HR, policy, or customer-facing material. Keep backups before running broad search-and-replace, merge, delete, protection, or formatting operations on important documents.✓Office PowerPoint MCP Server can create, open, save, inspect, and modify presentation files. Editing tools can add or change slides, text, images, shapes, tables, charts, themes, templates, transitions, hyperlinks, connectors, and slide masters. Review generated decks before using them for customers, sales, training, executive briefings, financial plans, legal reviews, or public communication. Keep backups before running broad formatting, template, master-slide, image, or chart changes on important presentations.✓Excel MCP Server can create, read, update, rename, copy, delete, format, validate, chart, and analyze workbook and worksheet content. File-writing tools can overwrite reports, templates, formulas, charts, and analysis outputs, so review diffs or backups before using it on important workbooks. For Streamable HTTP transport, keep file paths relative to the configured `EXCEL_FILES_PATH` directory and restrict server access to trusted users. Generated formulas, charts, pivot tables, and validation rules should be reviewed before use in financial, operational, or customer-facing work.
Privacy notes✓Word documents can contain personal data, comments, tracked decisions, hidden metadata, embedded images, confidential business text, signatures, and restricted-editing sections. Document text, filenames, comments, metadata, prompts, tool arguments, generated outputs, and conversion logs may be visible to the MCP client and model provider. Review generated files and extracted comments before sharing logs, diffs, or documents publicly.✓Presentations can contain confidential plans, customer names, product screenshots, business metrics, embedded images, speaker context, and hidden metadata. Filenames, prompts, tool arguments, generated slide text, extracted deck content, and save/export logs may be visible to the MCP client and model provider. Review generated presentations and extracted content before sharing logs, prompts, or decks outside the trusted project boundary.✓Workbooks can contain personal data, financial records, customer lists, credentials, proprietary metrics, formulas, hidden sheets, comments, and metadata. Workbook contents, file names, formulas, charts, prompts, tool arguments, and generated outputs may be visible to the MCP client and model provider. Protect remote deployments, logs, generated files, and shared workbook paths when handling private or regulated data.
