Microsoft 365

You set up a local MCP server that connects your Microsoft 365 data to your preferred AI assistant. It lets you read emails, manage calendars, access files, and interact with Teams, all while keeping control and security in your environment.

How to use

You interact with Claude Desktop or any MCP-compatible AI, and the MCP Adapter translates your requests into actions on the MCP Server. After you’ve authenticated with Microsoft and started the server, your AI can read emails, fetch calendar events, access files, and perform Teams actions using natural language queries. The adapter runs on your machine and communicates with the local server, enabling multi-user access with data isolation.

How to install

Prerequisites: Install Node.js 18+ and make sure you have a Microsoft 365 account and an Azure App Registration ready for OAuth.

# 1) Clone the project
# Replace with your actual repository path if you clone locally
git clone https://github.com/Aanerud/MCP-Microsoft-Office.git
cd MCP-Microsoft-Office

# 2) Install dependencies (this also sets up the database)
npm install

# 3) Edit the environment file with your Azure app details
# Add these values to .env:
# MICROSOFT_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id-here
# MICROSOFT_TENANT_ID=your-tenant-id-here

# 4) Start the server for local development
npm run dev:web

Additional sections

Configuration, security, and troubleshooting details are covered to help you run a robust MCP server. You can authenticate with Microsoft, generate an MCP token for your AI client, and connect the local MCP Adapter to the server so your AI can perform actions across Mail, Calendar, Files, Teams, and more.

Security and multi-user isolation ensure each user’s data remains private. Tokens are stored securely, tokens are renewed automatically where supported, and the server enforces access controls and rate limits.

If you need to adjust client connections, configure the local adapter path, and ensure Claude Desktop points to the adapter with the correct MCP server URL and token.
