cli-microsoft365-mcp-server — Claude Code MCP server: manage
An MCP server that turns plain-language requests into chains of CLI for Microsoft 365 commands. Useful when tenant admin work is easier to describe than to script.
claude mcp add cli-microsoft365-mcp-server -- npx -y @pnp/cli-microsoft365-mcp-serverWhat cli-microsoft365-mcp-server does
The server takes a normal sentence and breaks it into a sequence of CLI for Microsoft 365 commands. One request can touch several areas at once: Entra ID, OneDrive, OneNote, Outlook, Planner, Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Platform, SharePoint Embedded, SharePoint Online, Teams, Viva Engage.
Authentication is not handled here. Sign in with m365 login first, and the server reuses that context. You need Node.js 20.x or higher and a global @pnp/cli-microsoft365 install, then m365 setup plus three m365 cli config set calls for prompt, output and helpMode — that way the server gets more detail when a command fails.
The authors suggest Claude or Claude for best results. It runs through npx -y @pnp/cli-microsoft365-mcp-server@latest.
