Power Automate

Quick Start

1. Install dependencies: npm install
2. Azure setup: Register app in Azure Portal (see detailed steps below)
3. Configure environment: Copy .env.example to .env and add your Azure credentials
4. Configure Claude: Update your Claude Desktop config with the server path
5. Start auth server: npm run auth-server
6. Authenticate: Use the authenticate tool in Claude to get the OAuth URL
7. 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

1. Open Azure Portal
2. Search for "App registrations"
3. Click "New registration"
4. Name: "M365 MCP Server"
5. Account type: "Accounts in any organizational directory and personal Microsoft accounts"
6. Redirect URI: Web → http://localhost:3333/auth/callback
7. Click "Register"
8. Copy the "Application (client) ID" for your .env file

App Permissions

1. Go to "API permissions" under Manage
2. Click "Add a permission" → "Microsoft Graph" → "Delegated permissions"
3. Add these permissions:
   • offline_access
   • User.Read
   • Mail.Read, Mail.ReadWrite, Mail.Send
   • Calendars.Read, Calendars.ReadWrite
   • Files.Read, Files.ReadWrite
4. 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

1. Go to "Certificates & secrets" → "Client secrets"
2. Click "New client secret"
3. Add description and select expiration
4. 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_ID and MS_CLIENT_SECRET in the .env file
• Set MS_TENANT_ID for single-tenant apps to avoid /common endpoint errors
• For Claude Desktop config, you'll use OUTLOOK_CLIENT_ID and OUTLOOK_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)

1. Start auth server: npm run auth-server
2. Use the authenticate tool in Claude
3. Visit the provided URL and sign in
4. 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.json and 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

1. Create new module directory
2. Implement tool handlers in separate files
3. Export tool definitions from module index
4. Import and add to TOOLS array in index.js
