BiorOffice

Microsoft Office automation as a BioRouter extension. BiorOffice packages the open-source OfficeCLI engine (Apache-2.0, by iOfficeAI) into a self-contained .brxt bundle that installs directly into BioRouter. Once installed, the BioRouter agent can create, read, analyze, and edit Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), and PowerPoint (.pptx) documents — no Microsoft Office installation required.

Repository layout

Path	Contents
extension/	The .brxt source: manifest.json, pyproject.toml, Python launcher (src/bioroffice/), bundled OfficeCLI binary (bin/), and 4 bundled skills (skills/)
officecli/	Vendored OfficeCLI source code (upstream iOfficeAI/OfficeCLI@main, Apache-2.0)
dist/bioroffice.brxt	The built, installable extension bundle
scripts/build_brxt.sh	Builds dist/bioroffice.brxt from extension/
scripts/functional_test.py	End-to-end MCP test: PPTX deck, rich DOCX, formula-heavy XLSX
e2e/bioroffice-install.spec.ts	Playwright spec that installs the .brxt through the real BioRouter GUI and has the live agent create a document
CHECKLIST.md	Comprehensive install / validation / usage checklists

How it works

BioRouter agent ──MCP (stdio)──► uv run --directory ~/.config/biorouter/extensions/bioroffice bioroffice
                                   │  (Python launcher: pick platform binary, restore exec bit,
                                   │   verify SHA-256, auto-download if missing)
                                   └─ exec → officecli mcp   (native MCP server, 1 tool: `officecli`)

• One MCP tool, full surface — officecli covers create / view / get / query / set / add / remove / move / swap / validate / batch / raw / help / load_skill across all three formats, including formula evaluation (150+ Excel functions), charts, pivot tables, and an agent-friendly HTML/PNG rendering engine.
• Bundled BioRouter skills (auto-discovered at session start): bioroffice-office-suite, bioroffice-word, bioroffice-excel, bioroffice-powerpoint.
• Dynamic specialized skills the agent loads on demand via load_skill: word, academic-paper, pptx, pitch-deck, morph-ppt, morph-ppt-3d, excel, financial-model, data-dashboard.
• Self-contained & pinned — OfficeCLI v1.0.108 (macOS arm64) ships inside the bundle with SHA-256 verification; other platforms auto-download the same pinned release on first launch.

Install into BioRouter

GUI: Extensions → Add Extension → Browse file → dist/bioroffice.brxt → Install Extension

CLI:

biorouter extension install dist/bioroffice.brxt

Build & test

scripts/build_brxt.sh                                   # → dist/bioroffice.brxt
python3 scripts/functional_test.py <installed-ext-dir>  # 24-check MCP test suite
