Microsoft Graph MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI assistants to Microsoft Graph API. Search Teams messages, manage chats, send messages, and interact with your Microsoft 365 environment through natural language in Claude and other AI assistants.

🚀 Quick Start

Configuration

Claude Code

Add the server using the Claude Code CLI:

claude mcp add -s user \
    microsoft-graph \
    npx mcp-microsoft-graph@latest \
    -e "MS_GRAPH_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id" \
    -e "MS_GRAPH_TENANT_ID=your_tenant_id"

Manual Configuration (Any MCP Client)

Alternatively, add this configuration to your MCP client's configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "microsoft-graph": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-microsoft-graph@latest"],
      "type": "stdio",
      "env": {
        "MS_GRAPH_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
        "MS_GRAPH_TENANT_ID": "your_tenant_id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Get Your Azure AD Credentials

To get your CLIENT_ID and TENANT_ID:

1. Go to Azure Portal → Azure Active Directory → App registrations
2. Click New registration
3. Give it a name (e.g., "MCP Microsoft Graph")
4. Set Supported account types to "Single tenant"
5. Click Register
6. Copy the Application (client) ID - this is your MS_GRAPH_CLIENT_ID
7. Copy the Directory (tenant) ID - this is your MS_GRAPH_TENANT_ID
