adaptive-cards-mcp — Claude Code MCP server: what it does
Generates, validates, and transforms Adaptive Cards JSON for Microsoft Teams and Outlook right inside your AI assistant.
claude mcp add adaptive-cards-mcp -- npx -y adaptive-cards-mcpWhat adaptive-cards-mcp does
The server equips your coding agent with 9 dedicated tools for handling Microsoft Adaptive Cards. It outputs production JSON for approval requests and incident alerts. When fed with CSV rows or raw API responses, it turns the data into FactSets or table layouts.
Different Microsoft hosts enforce different specification levels. Outlook and Webex frequently reject schema version 1.6 elements, so the server provides downgrade transformations back to 1.3 or 1.4. It also audits accessibility by inserting alternative text and heading styles for screen readers.
Setup takes seconds. Execution runs directly through npx without manual build steps. When connecting to Copilot Studio, the server operates over HTTP and SSE with optional MCP_API_KEY token protection.
What it helps with
- Build interactive approval cards for Teams with action buttons
- Convert raw JSON arrays or CSV data into formatted card tables
- Downgrade schema versions to 1.3 or 1.4 for Outlook compatibility
- Audit card accessibility and insert missing alt text for screen readers
Example prompts for the agent
- Create an expense approval card for Teams with approve and reject buttons
- Convert this quarterly sales JSON array into an Adaptive Card layout
- Validate this card JSON and adapt it to work with Outlook schema v1.4
