An MCP Server with a tool for Microsoft Teams chat notifications.

Components

Tools

The server implements one tool:

• send-notification: Sends a notification message to Microsoft Teams

  • Takes "message" and "project" as required string arguments

  • Supports Markdown formatting for messages

  • Uses Azure AD authentication to securely communicate with Teams

Configuration

This requires a Microsoft Teams bot to use for the notifications. You can use my example Notification Bot created with Teams Toolkit.

The server requires the following environment variables to be set:

• BOT_ENDPOINT: The URL endpoint of your Microsoft Teams bot

• MICROSOFT_APP_ID: Application (client) ID from Azure AD app registration

• MICROSOFT_APP_PASSWORD: Client secret from Azure AD app registration

• MICROSOFT_APP_TENANT_ID: Your Azure AD tenant ID

• EMAIL: The email address for the user receiving notifications

You can set these in a .env file in the project root directory.
