ms-365-admin-mcp-server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Microsoft 365 administration via Graph API application permissions (client credentials).

Complementary to Softeria/ms-365-mcp-server which uses delegated permissions. This server is designed for admin operations: security monitoring, identity audits, incident response, and service health.

Features

• 515 tools covering security, audit, identity, app credentials, guest users, Exchange, Intune (devices, apps, MAM, reports), governance (PIM, access reviews, entitlement, lifecycle), compliance, threat intelligence, advanced hunting, Defender for Identity, Copilot admin, custom security attributes, LAPS, policies, reports, incident response, eDiscovery, Cloud PC, call records, Universal Print, information protection, SharePoint admin, and records management
• Application permissions (client credentials) — no user interaction required
• Read-only by default — write operations require explicit --allow-writes
• Risk classification on write tools (low/medium/high/critical)
• Presets to filter tools by domain (security, audit, identity, etc.)
• Two transports: stdio (default) and HTTP (StreamableHTTP)
• Multi-cloud: Microsoft global and China (21Vianet)
• Key Vault support for secrets management

Remote HTTP server: device_code authentication (RFC 8628)

If the server runs in HTTP / OAuth mode on a remote host (e.g. Azure Container Apps) and the client connects via mcp-remote, the standard flow requires a browser to reach localhost:14543/oauth/callback. When that isn't possible — macOS Platform SSO hijacks the WebKit flow, Claude Code runs in a headless Docker container, the user is on a remote SSH dev env — use the ms-365-admin-mcp-auth bootstrap to pre-seed mcp-remote's token cache instead.

npx @okapi-ca/ms-365-admin-mcp-server@latest auth \
  --server https://your-mcp-host.azurecontainerapps.io/mcp

The helper prints a URL and a user code; you sign in on any device you trust (phone, another laptop) and the tokens are written to ~/.mcp-auth/mcp-remote-<version>/. Claude Desktop / Claude Code then launches mcp-remote normally and finds the cached tokens without ever opening a browser.

See docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md for Docker / remote-dev patterns and exit code reference.

Remote HTTP deployment

Local HTTP mode

node dist/index.js \
  --transport http \
  --port 8080 \
  --allowed-clients "app-id-1,app-id-2"

The --allowed-clients flag is mandatory in HTTP mode. It validates incoming bearer tokens against Microsoft's JWKS endpoint (signature verification, audience, tenant, and client ID checks).

Docker

docker build -t ms365-admin-mcp .
docker run -p 8080:8080 \
  -e MS365_ADMIN_MCP_CLIENT_ID=... \
  -e MS365_ADMIN_MCP_CLIENT_SECRET=... \
  -e MS365_ADMIN_MCP_TENANT_ID=... \
  ms365-admin-mcp --allowed-clients "your-app-id"

Azure Container Apps

A Bicep template is provided in infra/main.bicep. It deploys:

• User-Assigned Managed Identity (UAMI)
• Key Vault (RBAC, purge protection, 90-day soft-delete)
• Log Analytics workspace + Application Insights
• Container App Environment
• Container App using the UAMI, with MS365_ADMIN_MCP_KEYVAULT_URL wired to the vault

MY_OID=$(az ad signed-in-user show --query id -o tsv)

az deployment group create \
  --resource-group rg-mcp-admin \
  --template-file infra/main.bicep \
  --parameters baseName=ms365mcpprod \
               containerImage=your-acr.azurecr.io/ms365-admin-mcp:latest \
               kvAdminObjectIds="['$MY_OID']"

Seed the vault with ms365-admin-mcp-{client-id,tenant-id,client-secret} after deploy — see docs/HTTP_DEPLOYMENT.md.

Development

npm run dev              # Run with tsx (hot reload)
npm run generate         # Download OpenAPI spec + generate client
npm run build            # Build with tsup
npm run test             # Run vitest
npm run lint             # ESLint
npm run format           # Prettier
npm run verify           # Full pipeline (generate + lint + format + build + test)
npm run inspector        # MCP Inspector for interactive testing

Adding a new tool

1. Add the endpoint entry in src/endpoints.json
2. Run npm run generate to regenerate the client
3. The tool is automatically registered at startup by registerGraphTools()
4. Run npm run verify to validate

Security

• Read-only by default -- mutations require --allow-writes
• Risk levels on write tools (critical/high/medium/low) with LLM-visible warnings
• JWT signature verification via Microsoft JWKS (RS256) in HTTP mode
• Mandatory authentication in HTTP mode (--allowed-clients required)
• Rate limiting (100 req/min) on the MCP endpoint
• Security headers (nosniff, DENY, no-store, CSP)
• Non-root Docker user
• Sensitive data redacted from logs
