The excel-mcp-server was using outdated FastMCP API parameters (version, description, dependencies, env_vars) that are no longer supported in the current FastMCP version. Updated the initialization to use only the supported parameters (name and instructions) to resolve the TypeError.
Also added explicit dependency on fastmcp>=2.0.0,<3.0.0 to ensure compatibility with FastMCP 2.x API and prevent future breaking changes from major version updates.
This fixes the "TypeError: FastMCP.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'version'" error when running excel-mcp-server.
Fixes#76
- Add cell_validation.py module for Excel data validation metadata extraction
- Implement get_data_validation_for_cell() and get_all_validation_ranges()
- Include validation metadata in read_data_from_excel responses automatically
- Add get_data_validation_info MCP tool for validation rule summaries
- Resolve range references in list validations to actual cell values
- Support all validation types: list, whole, decimal, date, time, textLength
- Include operators (between, notBetween, equal, greaterThan, etc.) in metadata
This allows LLMs to understand Excel validation constraints including
dropdown options, numeric ranges, date constraints, and text length limits.
* feat: Add stdio transport method.
Update relevant documentation and code to support both SSE and stdio connection methods, initialize the EXCEL_FILES_PATH variable and perform the corresponding path handling.
* Remove PyPI mirror configuration.
- Improve `copy_range_operation` with more robust error handling and style copying
- Enhance `delete_range_operation` with shift direction support
- Update README with Cursor IDE connection instructions
- Remove unnecessary parameters from `create_pivot_table`
- Improve logging and error validation in sheet operations
