Csvto tools (2)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
inspect_fileReport the columns, row count and any parse warnings for a CSV, JSON or Excel file without loading the whole thing into the conversation. Use before converting so you know the shape of the data.
read_rowsRead a slice of rows from a tabular file, with optional search and sorting, returning them as a compact table. Use this to look at part of a large file without pulling the whole thing into the conversation: ask for the rows you need rather than reading the file directly.

What its tools let an agent do: 2 read
Install Csvto in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y csvto-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.
claude mcp add csvto-mcp -- npx -y csvto-mcp
What the publisher says
From the Csvto repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
csvto
CSV, JSON and Excel conversion that runs where your data already is.
path; it converts locally and writes the result beside it. Nothing is uploaded, and file contents never pass through the model's context.
- csvto-mcp — an MCP server. Point your AI assistant at a file
network, so the same tested code runs in a browser, in a local MCP process, or on a server.
- @csvto/core — the conversion engine. No DOM, no fs, no
The same engine powers the browser tools at csvtosite.com, where conversion happens client-side and files are likewise never uploaded.
Install the MCP server
claude mcp add csvto -- npx -y csvto-mcpOr in any MCP client's config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"csvto": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "csvto-mcp"] }
}
}Requires Node 18+. Full tool list and behaviour: packages/mcp/README.md.
Types are inferred per column, not per cell
This is the part that matters, and where most converters quietly corrupt data. A column converts to numbers only if every value in it survives the round trip exactly. If one value would change, the whole column stays text:
- 01234 keeps its leading zero instead of becoming 1234
- A 16-digit account number stays itself instead of becoming 1.23457E+14
- 1250.50 keeps its trailing zero instead of becoming 1250.5
- A column never ends up as a mix of numbers and strings
Verified in tests: 01234 survives a CSV → xlsx → CSV round trip intact.
Develop
npm install
npm test # 49 tests
npm run buildpackages/core must stay environment-free — no window, no fs, no fetch. That constraint is what lets one tested engine serve every surface.
