ExcelMcp 2.0.1

What's New

Patch Changes

  • #811 d43a165 Thanks @sbroenne! - Reliable Agent Plugin packages: ExcelMcp plugins now use the host-provided persistent cache, preserve CLI pipeline output, and ship current installation and tool examples.

  • #809 cbbc529 Thanks @sbroenne! - Reliable MCP Registry releases (#808): Releases now stamp and verify both MCP Registry version fields, and report publishing failures instead of hiding them.

  • #813 3ad8ca3 Thanks @sbroenne! - Verified plugin runtime downloads: The ExcelMcp Copilot plugins now check downloaded and cached Windows runtime ZIPs against SHA-256 checksums published with the exact GitHub release before extraction.
