libreoffice-mcp-tools copilot-instructions.md

libreoffice-mcp-tools copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from passerbyflutter/libreoffice-mcp-tools. It costs 2,788 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Coding rules for a TypeScript server that lets AI tools read and edit office files through LibreOffice, including documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDFs, and CSV files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing or reviewing this server’s TypeScript code, document tools, spreadsheet access, pagination, and project architecture.
Why use it?
It keeps file access compact and structured, so agents do not need to load entire documents or spreadsheets at once.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

libreoffice-mcp-tools copilot-instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

LibreOffice MCP Tools — Copilot Instructions

Project Overview

A TypeScript MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI/LLM agents read, write, and edit Office documents (DOCX, DOC, XLSX, XLS, PPTX, PPT, ODF, PDF, CSV, TXT) via LibreOffice. Designed to minimize token usage through structured, range-based, outline-first document access.

Reference architecture: chrome-devtools-mcp

Architecture Principles

Token Efficiency (Core Design Goal)

  1. Outline-firstdocument_get_outline returns headings/sheet names/slide titles BEFORE content
  2. Range-based accessdocument_read_range with paragraph/row/slide offsets, never dump whole doc
  3. Pagination — ALL list tools support limit + offset params
  4. Structured JSON — spreadsheet data as {headers: string[], rows: any[][]} not raw CSV
  5. Markdown output — text documents rendered as compact markdown (headings → #, bold → **, etc.)
  6. Metadata-first — word count, page count, sheet names BEFORE reading content

Technology Stack

  • Language: TypeScript, ESM modules ("type": "module" in package.json)
  • MCP SDK: @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
  • Schema validation: zod
  • Build: tsc (TypeScript compiler)
  • Native document parsers (fast, no LibreOffice needed for reads):
    • DOCX/DOTX: mammoth for text extraction, docx for writing
    • XLSX/XLS/ODS/CSV: xlsx (SheetJS)
    • PPTX: jszip + custom XML parser
  • LibreOffice CLI (soffice --headless) for:
    • Converting legacy binary formats (DOC→DOCX, XLS→XLSX, PPT→PPTX) before parsing
    • Exporting to PDF, HTML, etc.
    • Writing to ODF formats
    • Complex write operations on any format

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
