## Manual Setup

### 1. Azure App Registration

1. Go to [Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com) → Microsoft Entra ID → App registrations
2. New registration → Name: `microsoft-mcp`
3. Supported account types: Personal + Work/School
4. Authentication → Allow public client flows: Yes
5. API permissions → Add these delegated permissions:
   - Mail.ReadWrite
   - Calendars.ReadWrite
   - Files.ReadWrite
   - Contacts.Read
   - People.Read
   - User.Read
6. Copy Application ID

### 2. Installation

```bash
git clone https://github.com/elyxlz/microsoft-mcp.git
cd microsoft-mcp
uv sync
```

### 3. Authentication

```bash
# Set your Azure app ID
export MICROSOFT_MCP_CLIENT_ID="your-app-id-here"

# Run authentication script
uv run authenticate.py

# Follow the prompts to authenticate your Microsoft accounts
```

### 4. Claude Desktop Configuration

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:

**macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`  
**Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "microsoft": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/elyxlz/microsoft-mcp.git", "microsoft-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "MICROSOFT_MCP_CLIENT_ID": "your-app-id-here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Or for local development:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "microsoft": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["--directory", "/path/to/microsoft-mcp", "run", "microsoft-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "MICROSOFT_MCP_CLIENT_ID": "your-app-id-here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Multi-Account Support

All tools require an `account_id` parameter as the first argument:

```python
# List accounts to get IDs
accounts = list_accounts()
account_id = accounts[0]["account_id"]

# Use account for operations
send_email(account_id, "user@example.com", "Subject", "Body")
list_emails(account_id, limit=10, include_body=True)
create_event(account_id, "Meeting", "2024-01-15T10:00:00Z", "2024-01-15T11:00:00Z")
```

## Development

```bash
# Run tests
uv run pytest tests/ -v

# Type checking
uv run pyright

# Format code
uvx ruff format .

# Lint
uvx ruff check --fix --unsafe-fixes .
```

## Example: AI Assistant Scenarios

### Smart Email Management
```python
# Get account ID first
accounts = list_accounts()
account_id = accounts[0]["account_id"]

# List latest emails with full content
emails = list_emails(account_id, limit=10, include_body=True)

# Reply maintaining thread
reply_to_email(account_id, email_id, "Thanks for your message. I'll review and get back to you.")

# Forward with attachments
email = get_email(email_id, account_id)
attachments = [get_attachment(email_id, att["id"], account_id) for att in email["attachments"]]
send_email(account_id, "boss@company.com", f"FW: {email['subject']}", email["body"]["content"], attachments=attachments)
```

### Intelligent Scheduling
```python
# Get account ID first
accounts = list_accounts()
account_id = accounts[0]["account_id"]

# Check availability before scheduling
availability = check_availability(account_id, "2024-01-15T10:00:00Z", "2024-01-15T18:00:00Z", ["colleague@company.com"])

# Create meeting with details
create_event(
    account_id,
    "Project Review",
    "2024-01-15T14:00:00Z", 
    "2024-01-15T15:00:00Z",
    location="Conference Room A",
    body="Quarterly review of project progress",
    attendees=["colleague@company.com", "manager@company.com"]
)
```

## Security Notes

- Tokens are cached locally in `~/.microsoft_mcp_token_cache.json`
- Use app-specific passwords if you have 2FA enabled
- Only request permissions your app actually needs
- Consider using a dedicated app registration for production

## Troubleshooting

- **Authentication fails**: Check your CLIENT_ID is correct
- **"Need admin approval"**: Use `MICROSOFT_MCP_TENANT_ID=consumers` for personal accounts
- **Missing permissions**: Ensure all required API permissions are granted in Azure
- **Token errors**: Delete `~/.microsoft_mcp_token_cache.json` and re-authenticate

C2.8/5.0

Scored across 35 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes targeting specific Microsoft 365 resources (contacts, emails, events, files) with clear action verbs, though some overlap exists between search_* tools and unified_search which could cause confusion about when to use which search method. The authentication tools (authenticate_account and complete_authentication) are clearly sequential rather than overlapping.

Naming Consistency5/5

Excellent consistency with a clear verb_noun pattern throughout all 35 tools (e.g., create_contact, delete_email, get_event, list_files, update_file). All tools use snake_case exclusively with no deviations in naming convention, making the tool set highly predictable and readable.

Tool Count3/5

35 tools is borderline heavy for a Microsoft 365 integration, though it covers multiple domains (authentication, contacts, email, calendar, OneDrive). The count feels somewhat excessive with separate search tools for each resource type plus a unified search, creating potential redundancy that could be streamlined.

Completeness5/5

Excellent coverage of Microsoft 365 domains with complete CRUD operations for contacts, emails, events, and files, plus comprehensive search capabilities and authentication workflow. The tool set provides full lifecycle management with no obvious gaps - agents can create, read, update, delete, list, and search across all supported resource types.
