Microsoft Teams MCP server

Teams MCP Server

The first open-source Microsoft Teams connector for Claude. Any Microsoft 365 user can connect — just sign in with your work account. No setup, no credentials, no self-hosting required.

Read messages, list channels, search across Teams, send messages — all from Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or Claude Cowork.

Built by SurgeEnterpriseAI.

The user connects their own Microsoft 365 account. They see their own teams, their own channels, their own messages. Each user's tokens are isolated. The server is the bridge — it never stores messages, just passes them through.

Features

• One-click connect — visit /connect, sign in with Microsoft, done
• Multi-tenant — any Microsoft 365 organization, any user
• 11 tools — teams, channels, messages, chats, search, profile
• Dual transport — STDIO for Claude Code, HTTP/SSE for Cowork & remote
• Multi-user — each session gets isolated OAuth tokens
• Auto-detect — picks the right transport based on launch method
• Token caching — silent refresh, no re-login every session
• Retry logic — automatic retries on throttled Graph API calls
• TypeScript — fully typed, clean architecture, MIT licensed

For Users: Connect in 1 Click

If someone is already hosting this server (e.g., on https://teams-mcp.surgeai.com):

1. Claude asks you to connect Microsoft Teams
2. You click the auth link
3. Sign in with your Microsoft work account
4. Done — Claude can now read your Teams

No API keys, no Azure portal, no setup.

For Developers: Self-Host

1. Clone & Install

git clone https://github.com/SurgeEnterpriseAI/teams-mcp-server.git
cd teams-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build

2. Azure AD App Registration

1. Go to Azure Portal → App registrations → New registration
2. Name: Teams MCP Server
3. Supported account types: "Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Azure AD directory - Multitenant)"

• Team.ReadBasic.All, Channel.ReadBasic.All
• User.Read
• Click Grant admin consent (for your own tenant; other tenants consent on first login)

3. Configure & Deploy

cp .env.example .env
# Set TEAMS_CLIENT_ID, TEAMS_CLIENT_SECRET
# Set BASE_URL and REDIRECT_URI to your production URL
# TEAMS_AUTHORITY=common (multi-tenant, default)
