Upon calling tool excel_read with next request body:

{
  "inputPath": "..<file_path>.xls(?x)",
  "includeHeaders": true
}

clients (Claude code, Cursor) receive response of:

Unknown tool: excel_read

However in Cursor MCP server settings the tool does show up and in logs of the server a successful tool call is logged:
