When using Claude Cowork the current installation methods do not work in the VM that is created to run Cowork in isolation. If the binary was included in the package repositories for npm and PyPi it would make using Office CLI much simpler. Without opening the network to include the iOffice AI website or GitHub the binaries need to be packaged with a plugin or an mcpb extension.
This seems like a small change and it would have a big impact on using this inside of Claude Cowork.
