What the publisher says
From the Microsoft Teams API repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
teams-api
AI-native Microsoft Teams integration — read conversations, send messages, and manage members via the Teams Chat Service REST API.
Designed for autonomous AI agents that need to interact with Teams: read messages, reply to people, monitor conversations, and participate in team workflows.
[!NOTE]
This project was AI-generated using Claude Opus 4.6 with human guidance and review.
Getting Started
teams-api can be used in three ways:
- MCP server for editors and AI tools — the recommended path for most users.
- CLI for direct terminal use.
- Programmatic Node.js library — advanced, documented near the end.
Prerequisites
- Node.js (v18 or later) — required for npx, which all MCP and CLI commands use.
