In MCP Servers

How to read this: HVTrust (0–100) weighs supply-chain signals (provenance, OSSF Scorecard, signed commits, open license) alongside real-world adoption. Grade D reflects the trust score band: A ≥ 80, B ≥ 65, C ≥ 50, D < 50. Evidence coverage C is separate — it grades how many independent signal types back the score (2 of 5), so a high score on thin evidence stays visible. Full methodology →

Common questions about Excel MCP Server

Public trust evidence for Excel MCP Server is thin: several supply-chain signals are missing or weak. This does not mean the project is unsafe — it means an outside observer cannot easily verify the usual integrity checks. Treat with extra scrutiny.

Does Excel MCP Server publish package provenance?

No published build provenance is currently detected for Excel MCP Server. This is common for open-source projects but means consumers cannot independently verify that the package on the registry matches the GitHub source.

Does Excel MCP Server have an OpenSSF Scorecard?

Excel MCP Server has an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 3.6/10. The Scorecard checks for branch protection, signed releases, dependency updates, fuzzing, code review, and other supply-chain hygiene items. See the full check breakdown on this page.

Is Excel MCP Server actively maintained?

Slowing down. Last push was 167 days ago — keep an eye on whether activity resumes.

What license does Excel MCP Server use?

Excel MCP Server ships under MIT. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.

Are Excel MCP Server's commits signed?

84% of the last 100 commits to Excel MCP Server are verified-signed (GPG, SSH, S/MIME, or GitHub's signing flow). Signed commits help confirm that code was authored by who the commit claims.

Not a safety endorsement. HVTracker describes what public signals show, not whether a project is safe for your use case. Run your own security review before adopting in production.
