Context Weaver

An MCP server that gives LLMs read-only access to Microsoft Project Online (Project for the Web) via the Microsoft Graph API.

Built on the Model Context Protocol — works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and any MCP-compatible client.

What It Does

Context Weaver exposes 7 read-only tools that let an LLM query your Microsoft Project data:

v0 is read-only by design. No task mutations, no accidental side effects.

Prerequisites

• Node.js ≥ 20

• Microsoft 365 account with Project for the Web (Planner-based)

• Azure AD app registration (see Setup below)

Setup

1. Register an Azure AD App

1. Go to Azure Portal → App registrations

2. Click New registration

   • Name: Context Weaver

   • Supported account types: Single tenant (or multi-tenant if needed)

   • Redirect URI: Web → http://localhost:3847/auth/callback

3. Under Authentication, enable Allow public client flows

4. Under API permissions, add:

   • Tasks.Read (Delegated)

   • Tasks.Read.Shared (Delegated)

   • Group.Read.All (Delegated)

   • User.Read (Delegated)

5. Copy the Application (client) ID and Directory (tenant) ID

2. Configure Environment

cp .env.example .env

Edit .env:

AZURE_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
AZURE_TENANT_ID=your-tenant-id

3. Install & Build

npm install
npm run build

Usage

With Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "context-weaver": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/context-weaver/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "AZURE_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",
        "AZURE_TENANT_ID": "your-tenant-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

With Claude Code

claude mcp add context-weaver node /absolute/path/to/context-weaver/dist/index.js

Development

npm run dev

Example Prompts

Once connected, try:

• "What projects do I have access to?"

• "Show me all overdue tasks"

• "List the tasks in the Design phase of Project X"

• "What's assigned to me this week?"

• "Get the full details and checklist for task ABC123"

Design Decisions

• Project for the Web (Planner-based), not classic Project Online (PWA/OData). Planner has better Graph API coverage and is Microsoft's forward-looking product.

• Per-user delegated auth — the server never holds elevated service account privileges.

• Read-only in v0 — write operations planned for v1 with human-in-the-loop confirmation.

• Three dependencies — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, @azure/msal-node, zod. Graph calls use native fetch.

Roadmap

• v0.1 — Read-only MVP (this release)

• v0.2 — Write operations (create/update tasks) with confirmation prompts

• v0.3 — Dependency tracking (Dataverse or local graph)

• v0.4 — Slack connector (search decisions, summarize threads)

• v0.5 — GitHub connector (PR status, issue sync)

• v1.0 — Self-correcting agent loop (schedule validation)

Known Limitations

• Planner doesn't support task dependencies natively. Dependency tracking requires Dataverse direct access or a local graph — planned for v0.3.

• get_assignments only works for the authenticated user. Fetching another user's assignments requires iterating all plans they're members of.

• Tokens are in-memory only. You'll need to re-authenticate each session. Persistent encrypted storage planned for v0.2.
