What is the Graph MCP MCP server?

Connect Graph MCP to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. MCP server for Microsoft Teams, Outlook Calendar, Mail, and OneDrive via Microsoft Graph. The graph mcp mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

Graph MCP is a Node.js MCP server that connects Claude Code and Codex to Microsoft Teams, Outlook mail and calendar, online meetings, OneDrive, users, and presence through Microsoft Graph. It runs locally over stdio and requires Node.js 22 or newer.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • 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.ReadWrite
  • Mail.Read — Mail.Send
  • Presence.Read — Presence.Read.All
  • Presence.ReadWrite — OnlineMeetings.Read
  • OnlineMeetingTranscript.Read.All — OnlineMeetingRecording.Read.All
  • Codex — resolve the installed plugin root from skills/setup/SKILL.md, change to that

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID, GRAPH_TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

  • Node.js 22 or newer. - A Microsoft Entra ID app registration configured as a public client on the Mobile and desktop applications platform. - Redirect URI http://localhost:3000/auth/callback. - No client secret. Graph MCP uses delegated user authentication. Add these exact delegated permissions to the app registration: - offline_access - openid - profile - User.Read -

Installation

Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.

Where it fits

This sits in the team communication group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Graph MCP's toolset — offline_access, profile, User.ReadBasic.All and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by juststas; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Graph MCP's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Graph MCP.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Graph MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 14 tools (offline_access, profile, User.ReadBasic.All, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Graph MCP directly.
