KitchenSink4PPTCommunity Edition

Everything plus the kitchen sink for PowerPoint (.pptx), headlined by the fixture nobody else carries: SVG in, grouped native shapes with glued connectors out. Move the node, the arrows follow. Plus the first file-based structural table surgery, slide management done right, and nothing to switch on.

KitchenSink4XLCommunity Edition

Everything plus the kitchen sink for Excel (.xlsx), headlined by the thing every other server gets wrong: a spreadsheet remembers its answers, not its thinking, so a stale number looks exactly like a live one. This one labels every value it hands back, names the cells that went stale, and asks Excel itself to recalculate when it matters. Structural edits carry their formulas with them. All seven are on the floor from the first message.

KitchenSink4WebCommunity Edition

Everything plus the kitchen sink for the open web: your AI reads whole pages for the price of a paragraph, shadow roots included. Reading works by default; clicking and writing require your permission. Every read ends with the price it paid and a list of what it skipped.

ONE TRIP

Whole store

Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, and other AI apps that support local MCP servers, including open-source clients.

ChatGPT on the web uses a separate remote connection. These local installers do not configure it.

Mac support: Excel and PowerPoint (untested in this release), and Web. The Word desktop bundle is Windows-only. Features that control Microsoft Office require Windows and the relevant Office app.

Choose your computer and the app you use. Open its instructions below.

These are separate MCP tools. Choose one product or install the compatible set; each connects to your AI app separately.

Claude Desktop

  1. Set up the launcher once

    These tools use uv, a small launcher. If you already installed it for another KitchenSink product, skip to the next step.

    Open the Windows Start menu, type PowerShell, and open Windows PowerShell. Copy this command, paste it into that window, and press Enter.

    winget install --id=astral-sh.uv -e

    When it finishes, close and reopen your command window before continuing.

  2. Download your extension

    Download Word Community EditionDownload PowerPoint Community EditionDownload Excel Community EditionDownload Web Community Edition

    This .mcpb file is for Claude Desktop. Your browser usually saves it in Downloads. Download each product you want.

  3. Add it to Claude Desktop

    In Claude Desktop, open Settings → Extensions → Advanced settings → Install Extension. Select the .mcpb file you downloaded. Repeat for each product, then fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop.

  4. Check that it worked

    Open Settings → Extensions and check that your KitchenSink extension is enabled. Start a new chat and ask the app to use its KitchenSink tools to show the server information. A successful tool result confirms it is connected.

HOUSE RULES

How this store is run

Nobody wants to install a tool for a job that comes up once. The one time the job does come, though, nobody has the hours to go find the tool either. So these shelves hold everything, including things you may never touch, and the day you need one, it is already there. Everything on them is built to the same house standard: a backup lands before your file changes, the work is checked after, and when something cannot be done, your AI says so plainly instead of guessing. The spec sheets hang in each aisle.

Everything plus the kitchen sink.

One server per document format, complete enough that your agent never has to shop anywhere else.

Engineered not to corrupt.

Atomic validated saves, automatic backups before every change, byte-identical passthrough of everything untouched, and adversarial test evidence published with every release.

Refuses rather than guesses.

When a target is ambiguous, the tools refuse and show the candidates. A confident wrong edit is the one product this store does not stock.

THE FRONT DESK

CUSTOMER SERVICE

NOW SERVING · TAKE A NUMBER · EVERY FIXTURE HAS ITS OWN DESK
AISLE W · PLUMBING

Word (KitchenSink4Word)

Sink acting up?

Leaks, missing attachments, and feature requests for KitchenSink4Word all go to the plumbing desk. Structured forms ask exactly what a fix needs; never attach a private document, rebuild the structure with placeholder text.

Visit the Word service desk → AISLE P · PAINT

PowerPoint (KitchenSink4PPT)

Streaks in the finish?

Glitches, refusals, and feature requests for KitchenSink4PPT go to the paint desk. Same structured forms, same house policy; never attach a private deck, rebuild the structure with placeholder text.

Visit the PPT service desk → AISLE X · ELECTRICAL

Excel (KitchenSink4XL)

Found a number you can't trust?

A value labeled wrong, a refusal that made no sense, a save that touched something it shouldn't have, or a capability the sink should have and doesn't. File it at the counter: the forms ask exactly what a fix needs. Never paste real spreadsheet data; describe the shape of the workbook instead.

Visit the Excel service desk → AISLE G · GARDEN

Web (KitchenSink4Web)

Weeds in the garden?

Overgrown pages, surprise costs, and feature requests for KitchenSink4Web go to the garden desk. Same structured forms, same house policy; never paste a private page, describe its shape instead.

Commercial fitting? Free under the AGPL for anyone who meets its terms, and it stays that way. If your company wants to build one of these servers into a closed product of its own, that needs a commercial license, and terms are worked out case by case. Contact us about a commercial license.

Bug reports and feature requests are public GitHub issues and require a free account. Licensing inquiries use the private contact form.

Bugs and feature requests go to the product desks above. For business or licensing questions, contact us directly.
