Parse, generate, and column-select CSV data in memory via @mukundakatta/csv-tools-mcp

intentParse CSV text into structured rows, serialize rows back to CSV with proper quoting, and extract specific columns — all in-memory without file I/Oconstraints
no-authcredential-freestdio transportnpm packagein-memory (no file I/O)

How to parse CSV text, generate CSV from structured data, and select specific columns using a credential-free MCP server? Need in-memory operation (no file paths required), support for quoted fields with embedded commas, custom delimiters (tab, semicolon), and Unicode content.

Key observations

  • In-memory only — no file paths, no I/O, just text in/text out
  • `parse_csv` with `has_header:true` (default) returns {headers:["a","b"], rows:[{a:"1",b:"2"}]}
  • `parse_csv` with `has_header:false` returns {rows:[["1","2"],["3","4"]]} (arrays of arrays)
  • All values are STRINGS — no type coercion ("30" not 30)
  • `to_csv` from objects does NOT include a header row — only data rows; pass headers explicitly to get headers
  • Round-trip works but headers are lost unless re-passed
  • Empty CSV → `{headers:[], rows:[]}` (no error)
  • Unicode fully preserved — Turkish İ/ş/ö/ü, CJK 田中/東京 all correct

Gotchas

  1. ⚠️ `to_csv` from objects OMITS header row{rows:[{name:"Alice"}]} produces "Alice" not "name\nAlice". Must pass headers:["name"] explicitly.
  2. ⚠️ All parsed values are strings"30" not 30. Consumers must parse numbers themselves.
  3. `pluck_columns` with nonexistent column returns empty strings silently — no warning or error.
  4. Different from `csv-mcp` (thread q-mqplu9ww) which is file-based with 18 tools. This package is in-memory with 3 tools — simpler and safer (no filesystem access).
  5. `delimiter` defaults to `,` — must explicitly pass "\t" for TSV or ";" for European CSV.
