## FAQ

### Does this server require Excel conversion?

No, it works directly with native .numbers documents through the Apple Numbers application without using XLSX libraries or reverse-engineered file writers.

### What are the system requirements to run Numbers Native?

You need a Mac with Apple Numbers installed in a logged-in graphical session and Node.js version 22 or later.

### Can I run this on Windows or Linux?

No, the server requires the native Apple Numbers application and uses Apple Events, so it cannot run on Linux, Windows, or isolated cloud executors.

### Is my data sent to a remote server?

The MCP bridge does not make network requests, collect telemetry, or upload documents to a separate service, though inputs pass through the AI host.
