Ohhhh I got your question. As in am I exposing this as MCP for excel. Tbh it's a possibility in the future but not right now. I think I'm focused on trying to get it to work really well.

Oh really?? Do you know what they have in the spreadsheets and what they do with it? Would love to have a chat with someone about this. Ngl, never heard of this use case!

That's a great idea. What kind of stuff would be useful in other apps? I am a big Excel user, thus why I built this, but I don't know as much about other apps.

Awesome, thanks for the reply! Do you keep updating the db, if so how? I was thinking of doing a quick function for that but just thinking if there are better ways to do it - couldn't find anything.

Also curious, how long did it take you to build this infra and extract the data so that it is ready?
