Description

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.

Research direction

Start by examining the existing installation methods and the npm and PyPI package definitions, then trace how the binary is distributed. Check how a plugin or mcpb extension could package it for Claude Cowork's isolated VM. Done means both package repositories include the required binary and installation works without access to the iOffice AI website or GitHub.
