🤖 Claude Code CLI Setup

Configuration

Add this MCP server to your Claude Code configuration:

Location: ~/.claude.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "office365": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/office365-mcp-server/office365-sdk.js"],
      "env": {
        "AZURE_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id-here",
        "AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret-here",
        "AZURE_AUTHORITY": "https://login.microsoftonline.com/your-tenant-id-here",
        "OFFICE365_USER_EMAIL": "your-email@yourdomain.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

Important:

• Replace /absolute/path/to/office365-mcp-server/ with the actual path

• Use absolute paths, not relative paths

• Add your actual Azure credentials to the env section

Verify Installation

1. Restart Claude Code CLI

2. In a new conversation, type:

   list office 365 tools

3. You should see 45 available tools

Troubleshooting: If tools don't appear, check:

• Path to office365-sdk.js is absolute and correct

• All environment variables are set in ~/.claude.json

• Node.js 18+ is installed: node --version

• Dependencies are installed: npm install

🚀 Usage

Once configured in Claude Code CLI, you can use natural language to interact with Office 365:

Example Commands

Email:

"Show me my last 10 emails"
"Search for emails from jeff@example.com about Q4 budget"
"Send an email to team@company.com with subject 'Meeting Notes'"
"What emails are in my Sent Items folder?"

Calendar:

"What's on my calendar this week?"
"Create a meeting tomorrow at 2pm for 1 hour"
"Show all events in the next 30 days"

Files:

"List files in my OneDrive root folder"
"Search for files containing 'proposal'"
"Show me PDF files modified this month"

Contacts:

"List all my contacts"
"Find contact information for John Smith"

Teams:

"List all my Teams"
"Show channels in the Marketing team"
"Get recent messages from the General channel"

Tasks:

"Show my task lists"
"What tasks are incomplete?"
"Create a task in my To-Do list"

📚 Available Tools

📧 Email Management (16 tools)

📅 Calendar Operations (9 tools)

📁 OneDrive Files (8 tools)

👥 Contacts (4 tools)

💬 Microsoft Teams (5 tools)

✅ Tasks & To-Do (4 tools)

For complete tool documentation, see OFFICE365_TOOLS.md

🧪 Testing

Option 1: Test with Claude Code CLI

Simply use the natural language commands in Claude Code after setup.

Option 2: Standalone Testing

Test the server independently:

# Test basic authentication
node tests/simple-test.js

# Test MCP server protocol
node tests/simple-mcp-server.js

Note: Standalone testing requires credentials in .env file.

🔐 Security

Best Practices

✅ Environment Variables: All credentials stored in environment variables ✅ No Hardcoded Secrets: No credentials in source code ✅ Git Protection: .gitignore prevents credential commits ✅ Validation: Startup validation ensures all required variables are set ✅ Admin Consent: Application permissions require admin approval

Security Features

• Application Permissions: Server-to-service authentication (no user prompts)

• Scoped Access: Limited to configured user account

• Audit Logging: Use Azure AD audit logs to monitor access

• Secret Rotation: Rotate client secrets every 90 days (recommended)

Security Documentation

• SECURITY.md - Security policy and responsible disclosure

• SECURITY_SCAN_REPORT.md - Vulnerability analysis

• FINAL_SECURITY_AUDIT.md - Pre-publication audit

⚠️ Never commit .env files or expose credentials in code!

🐛 Troubleshooting

Tools Not Appearing in Claude Code

Check:

1. Path in ~/.claude.json is absolute (not relative)

2. All environment variables are set in ~/.claude.json env section

3. Claude Code CLI has been restarted after configuration

4. Run node office365-sdk.js - should start without errors

Authentication Errors

401 Unauthorized:

• Verify AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET is correct (use Value, not Secret ID)

• Check secret hasn't expired in Azure Portal

• Ensure AZURE_CLIENT_ID and AZURE_AUTHORITY are correct

403 Forbidden:

• Admin consent not granted - check Azure Portal API permissions

• Wait 5-10 minutes after granting consent for propagation

• Verify permissions show "✓ Granted" status

Missing Permissions

Error: "Insufficient privileges to complete the operation"

Solution:

1. Go to Azure Portal → App registrations → Your app

2. API permissions → Check all required permissions are added

3. Click "Grant admin consent" again

4. Verify all show "✓ Granted" status

Connection Issues

Server fails to start:

• Check Node.js version: node --version (need 18+)

• Reinstall dependencies: rm -rf node_modules && npm install

• Verify all environment variables are set

• Check for typos in ~/.claude.json (validate JSON syntax)
