Outlook Local MCP Server

A single-binary MCP server that connects Claude Desktop and Claude Code to Microsoft Outlook via the Microsoft Graph API. Manage your calendar, read and triage email, and compose drafts without leaving your AI assistant.

Install

Go binary (recommended):

go install github.com/desek/outlook-local-mcp/cmd/outlook-local-mcp@latest

Docker / OCI:

docker run -i --rm \
  -v outlook-mcp-auth:/data/auth \
  -e OUTLOOK_MCP_TENANT_ID=<tenant> \
  -e OUTLOOK_MCP_CLIENT_ID=<client> \
  ghcr.io/desek/outlook-local-mcp:latest

See Container deployment for the full client config snippet, and Container runtime for the keychain trade-off and image variants.

Claude Desktop extension (no terminal required):

Download the .mcpb file from the latest release and open it in Claude Desktop via Settings > Extensions > Install from file.

Claude Code or Cowork plugin: install the plugin from the Claude directory with /plugin. See the quickstart.

Tool invocation shape

All operations use four aggregate domain tools dispatched by an operation verb, plus two opt-in ones registered only when their variable is set, contacts under OUTLOOK_MCP_CONTACTS_ENABLED and teams under OUTLOOK_MCP_TEAMS_ENABLED:

{tool: "calendar", args: {operation: "list_events", date: "today"}}
{tool: "mail",     args: {operation: "list_folders"}}
{tool: "account",  args: {operation: "list"}}
{tool: "system",   args: {operation: "status"}}
{tool: "contacts", args: {operation: "search", query: "alex"}}   // OUTLOOK_MCP_CONTACTS_ENABLED
{tool: "teams",    args: {operation: "search", query: "release checklist"}}   // OUTLOOK_MCP_TEAMS_ENABLED

Call any domain with operation: "help" to list its verbs and parameters.
