MCP server for Microsoft Teams, Outlook Calendar, and Mail via Microsoft Graph API
Requires Python: >=3.10

# Graph MCP

An MCP server that connects Claude to Microsoft Teams, Outlook Calendar, and Mail through the Microsoft Graph API.

## What it does

Gives Claude access to 29 tools:

| Category | Tools |
|---|---|
| **Auth** | Check status, login (browser OAuth), logout |
| **Chats** | List chats, read/send messages, create chats, list members |
| **Teams & Channels** | List teams, list channels, read/send messages, list members, read/send replies |
| **Calendar** | List calendars, list events (with date range), get event details |
| **Mail** | List emails, read email, search emails, send email, reply to email |
| **Users** | Search organization directory |
| **Presence** | Get/set your presence, get another user's presence |
| **Search** | Search messages across all chats and channels |

## Prerequisites

You need an Azure App Registration:

1. Go to [Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com) > App registrations > New registration
2. Set platform to **Mobile and desktop applications**
3. Set redirect URI to `http://localhost:3000/auth/callback`
4. Mark as **Public client** (no client secret needed)
5. Under API permissions, add these **delegated** permissions:

   - `offline_access`, `openid`, `profile`, `User.Read`
   - `User.ReadBasic.All`
   - `Chat.Read`, `Chat.ReadWrite`, `ChatMessage.Send`
   - `ChannelMessage.Read.All`, `ChannelMessage.Send`
   - `Team.ReadBasic.All`, `Channel.ReadBasic.All`, `ChannelMember.Read.All`
   - `Calendars.Read`
   - `Mail.Read`, `Mail.Send`
   - `Presence.Read`, `Presence.Read.All`, `Presence.ReadWrite`

## Install

```
pip install graph-mcp
```

Or from a cloned repo:

```
pip install -e .
```

## Setup

```
graph-mcp setup
```

This asks for your Azure Client ID and Tenant ID, then gives you the exact command:

```
claude mcp add graph -e AZURE_CLIENT_ID=your-id -e AZURE_TENANT_ID=your-tenant -- /path/to/graph-mcp
```

Paste it, start Claude Code, and ask Claude to log in. It opens your browser for OAuth sign-in — that's it.

## How it works

```
Claude Code  ──stdio──>  graph-mcp  ──HTTPS──>  Microsoft Graph API
                              │
                         ~/.graph-mcp/
                           tokens.enc  (encrypted)
                           .key        (auto-generated)
```

- **Auth**: OAuth2 Authorization Code flow with PKCE. Login opens your browser, a local callback server captures the token. No secrets stored in config.
- **Token persistence**: Tokens are encrypted with Fernet and stored in `~/.graph-mcp/tokens.enc`. The encryption key is auto-generated on first use. Logins survive server restarts.
- **Token refresh**: Access tokens are refreshed automatically before they expire. You only need to log in again if the refresh token itself expires.
- **Rate limiting**: Sliding window counter with exponential backoff. Respects `Retry-After` headers on 429 responses.

## Configuration

All configuration is passed via environment variables (set in the MCP config's `env` block):

| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `AZURE_CLIENT_ID` | Yes | — | From your Azure App Registration |
| `AZURE_TENANT_ID` | No | `common` | Your Azure tenant ID, or `common` for multi-tenant |
| `GRAPH_REDIRECT_URI` | No | `http://localhost:3000/auth/callback` | Must match Azure app registration |
| `GRAPH_TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY` | No | auto-generated | Fernet key for token encryption |
| `GRAPH_DEBUG` | No | `false` | Enable verbose logging |

## Troubleshooting

**"Approval required" error during login**
Your Azure app is requesting scopes that aren't registered or need admin consent. Check the API permissions in the Azure portal match the list above.

**403 Forbidden on specific tools**
The endpoint needs a permission that's not in your Azure app registration, or requires admin consent.

**Login works but tools say "not authenticated"**
Restart the MCP server (`claude mcp restart graph`) — it may be running an old version.
