What the publisher says
From the GridPath repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
GridPath
Let AI edit the Excel files you already have: faster, for fewer tokens, and you get them back intact.
GridPath is an engine for editing real .xlsx files. Give it to your coding agent and the same edit takes a fraction of the time and tokens, because the agent calls spreadsheet tools instead of writing and debugging scripts:
tools (workbook map, row search, structural edits) replace the write-a-script, run-it, recalculate-somewhere-else loop.
- Faster and cheaper. An in-process calculation engine and purpose-built
pivots, VBA, add-in data and everything else come back byte-identical.
- Intact. A surgical saver rewrites only the parts an edit touched; charts,
written until you accept.
- Reviewed. You see every changed cell, before and after, and nothing is
Claude Code (Sonnet 5.5) on a real 1.4 MB, 55,000-formula analyst model, same prompt with and without GridPath:
Both lanes got every edit right. The difference is time, tokens, and seeing the diff before it's saved. Full runs, including the ones we lose, are in the evals repo.
It comes as two front doors on the same engine:
Source-available under the FSL-1.1-Apache-2.0; each release becomes Apache 2.0 after two years.
MCP server
claude mcp add gridpath -- npx -y gridpath mcp --review-requiredYour agent edits the real .xlsx through GridPath's tools (describe, find, read, write, runscript, structure ops). Every change returns a readback and a review link**: changed cells before/after, accept or reject per batch, save. Nothing is written until you save; with --review-required only the review page can save. No Python, no LibreOffice, no Excel needed. Details, host config snippets and the tool list: packages/gridpath/README.md.
Desktop app
Open a .xlsx, type what you want, review the diff, accept it. Multiple workbooks side by side, each with its own agent; other files attachable as read-only references. Your file never leaves your machine, and it works with the Claude or ChatGPT subscription you already pay for.
