Teams

Teams MCP provides a dedicated MCP server that integrates Microsoft Graph APIs with Microsoft Teams, users, and organizational data. It enables AI assistants to authenticate, query, manage Teams, channels, chats, and messages, and perform advanced searches across conversations.

How to use

You connect to this MCP server from your MCP client (such as Cursor, Claude, or VS Code) using the provided configuration. Once connected, you can authenticate with Microsoft Graph, fetch your user information, search users, list and manage Teams and channels, read and send messages in channels or chats, and perform advanced message searches using Microsoft Search.

Key capabilities you can leverage include: authentication flow with token management, retrieving current user and directory data, listing teams you are a member of, listing channels within teams, reading and sending channel messages with optional importance levels, managing team members, listing chats, creating chats, retrieving chat history, and performing KQL-based searches across messages.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js 18+ and a Microsoft 365 account with appropriate permissions. You also require an Azure App Registration configured with Microsoft Graph permissions.

Steps to set up and run the MCP server locally:

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the project
npm run build

# Set up authentication
npm run auth

Configure the MCP server in your client by using the following MCP server entry. This enables your client to start the server via npx and load the Teams MCP configuration.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "teams-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@floriscornel/teams-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

To run in development mode, start the server with hot reload. For production, build the project and start the compiled output.

# Development mode with hot reload
npm run dev

# Production mode
npm run build && node dist/index.js

Configuration

The MCP server is configured via a JSON snippet that you load into your MCP client configuration. Use the following entry for the Teams MCP server.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "teams-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@floriscornel/teams-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Security

All authentication flows use OAuth 2.0 with Microsoft Graph, and tokens are securely stored and refreshed automatically. Sensitive data is not logged or exposed, and the integration follows Microsoft Graph security practices.

Examples

Authenticate with Microsoft Graph to start the flow and then verify your status, using the standard MCP client commands.

Example authentication and status check commands you would run in your MCP client environment include initiating the OAuth flow and checking the current authentication state.
