Quick Start
- Install dependencies:
npm install - Azure setup: Register app in Azure Portal (see detailed steps below)
- Configure environment: Copy
.env.exampleto.envand add your Azure credentials - Configure Claude: Update your Claude Desktop config with the server path
- Start auth server:
npm run auth-server - Authenticate: Use the authenticate tool in Claude to get the OAuth URL
- Start using: Access your M365 data through Claude!
Installation
Prerequisites
- Node.js 14.0.0 or higher
- npm or yarn package manager
- Azure account for app registration
Install Dependencies
npm install
Azure App Registration & Configuration
App Registration
- Open Azure Portal
- Search for "App registrations"
- Click "New registration"
- Name: "M365 MCP Server"
- Account type: "Accounts in any organizational directory and personal Microsoft accounts"
- Redirect URI: Web →
http://localhost:3333/auth/callback - Click "Register"
- Copy the "Application (client) ID" for your
.envfile
App Permissions
- Go to "API permissions" under Manage
- Click "Add a permission" → "Microsoft Graph" → "Delegated permissions"
- Add these permissions:
offline_accessUser.ReadMail.Read,Mail.ReadWrite,Mail.SendCalendars.Read,Calendars.ReadWriteFiles.Read,Files.ReadWrite
- Click "Add permissions"
For Power Automate (optional):
- Requires additional Azure AD configuration with Flow API scope
- See Power Automate section below for details
Client Secret
- Go to "Certificates & secrets" → "Client secrets"
- Click "New client secret"
- Add description and select expiration
- Copy the VALUE (not the Secret ID)
Configuration
1. Environment Variables
cp .env.example .env
Edit .env:
# Get these values from Azure Portal > App Registrations > Your App
MS_CLIENT_ID=your-application-client-id-here
MS_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret-VALUE-here
MS_TENANT_ID=your-tenant-id-here
USE_TEST_MODE=false
Important Notes:
- Use
MS_CLIENT_IDandMS_CLIENT_SECRETin the.envfile - Set
MS_TENANT_IDfor single-tenant apps to avoid/commonendpoint errors - For Claude Desktop config, you'll use
OUTLOOK_CLIENT_IDandOUTLOOK_CLIENT_SECRET - Always use the client secret VALUE, never the Secret ID
2. Claude Desktop Configuration
Add to your Claude Desktop config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"m365-assistant": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/outlook-mcp/index.js"],
"env": {
"USE_TEST_MODE": "false",
"OUTLOOK_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",
"OUTLOOK_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret"
}
}
}
}
Authentication
Graph API (Outlook + OneDrive)
- Start auth server:
npm run auth-server - Use the
authenticatetool in Claude - Visit the provided URL and sign in
- Tokens saved to
~/.outlook-mcp-tokens.json
Power Automate (Optional)
Power Automate requires a separate token with the Flow API scope. Configure additional Azure AD permissions for https://service.flow.microsoft.com//.default scope.
Limitations:
- Only solution-aware flows are accessible
- Only manual trigger flows can be run via API
- Requires environment ID for most operations
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
"Cannot find module"
npm install
"Port 3333 in use"
npx kill-port 3333
npm run auth-server
"Invalid client secret" (AADSTS7000215)
- Use the secret VALUE, not the Secret ID
"Authentication required"
- Delete
~/.outlook-mcp-tokens.jsonand re-authenticate
Testing
# Run with MCP Inspector
npm run inspect
# Run in test mode (mock data)
npm run test-mode
# Run Jest tests
npm test
Extending the Server
- Create new module directory
- Implement tool handlers in separate files
- Export tool definitions from module index
- Import and add to
TOOLSarray inindex.js
