## What it does

This skill bundles the `msgraph` CLI with local Microsoft Graph indexes. It searches 27,700+ endpoints, 6,200+ endpoint documents and 4,200+ resource schemas without network calls. Use `sample-search`, `api-docs-search`, or `openapi-search` to locate an API by task, path, resource, or HTTP method.

\`api-docs-search` returns permissions, query parameters, required headers, and properties that need `$select`. The sample index maps natural-language tasks to checked API queries, including multi-step flows. On macOS and Linux, launch the CLI through `scripts/run.sh`; Windows uses `scripts/run.ps1`.

With a Microsoft Graph MCP server, the skill supplies endpoint syntax and permissions while the server handles authentication and execution. It can also sign in through a browser or device code, or detect app authentication from environment variables. Run `msgraph auth status` before the first `graph-call`, because an unsigned-in session cannot execute an API call.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add merill/msgraph --skill msgraph -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/msgraph/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/msgraph/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add merill/msgraph --skill msgraph -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/msgraph/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add merill/msgraph --skill msgraph -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/msgraph/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install merill/msgraph msgraph
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/msgraph/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add merill/msgraph --skill msgraph -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/merill/msgraph --path skills/msgraph
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/msgraph/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add merill/msgraph --skill msgraph -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/merill/msgraph/tree/HEAD/skills/msgraph/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- find a Microsoft Graph endpoint from a task description
- check permissions for a resource request
- look up OData parameters and required headers
- identify properties for `$filter` and `$select`
- pass a prepared request to a Microsoft Graph MCP server

## Example prompts
- Use the `msgraph` skill to find the Microsoft Graph API for sending email.
- Check the permissions and parameters for `GET /users` with `msgraph`.
- Search `msgraph` for conditional access policy examples and prepare a call for my MCP server.

# Microsoft Graph Agent Skill

Search, look up, and call any of the 27,700+ Microsoft Graph APIs — all locally, no network calls needed. Use the three search commands to find the right endpoint, check permissions and parameters, then optionally execute calls directly or hand off to a Graph MCP server.

## What's Included

The Microsoft Graph API has **27,700+ endpoints** updated weekly — well past LLM training cutoffs. This skill bundles the complete API surface as local indexes that you search instantly with no network calls.

| Index | Count | What it contains |
|---|---|---|
| OpenAPI endpoints | 27,700+ | Path, method, summary, description, permission scopes |
| Endpoint docs | 6,200+ | Permissions (delegated/app), query parameters, required headers, default vs `$select`-only properties |
| Resource schemas | 4,200+ | All properties with types, supported `$filter` operators, default/select-only flags |
| Community samples | Growing | Hand-verified queries mapping natural-language tasks to exact API calls |

## How to Run

The `msgraph` CLI is bundled with this skill. Run all commands through the launcher script in this skill's directory:

- **macOS / Linux**: `bash <path-to-this-skill>/scripts/run.sh <command> [args...]`
- **Windows**: `powershell <path-to-this-skill>/scripts/run.ps1 <command> [args...]`

For example, to search for mail-related APIs on macOS:

```
bash /home/user/.opencode/skills/msgraph/scripts/run.sh openapi-search --query "send mail"
```

In all examples below, `msgraph` is shorthand for the full launcher invocation.

## Finding the Right API

This is the primary purpose of the skill. Follow this progressive lookup strategy — each level adds detail:

1. **Your own knowledge** — try first for well-known endpoints (`/me`, `/users`, `/groups`).
2. **`sample-search`** — curated, hand-verified samples. Highest quality. Use for common tasks and multi-step workflows.
3. **`api-docs-search`** — per-endpoint permissions, supported query parameters, required headers, default vs `$select`-only properties, and resource property details with filter operators.
4. **`openapi-search`** — full catalog of 27,700 Graph APIs. Use when you cannot find the endpoint any other way.
5. **Reference files** — concept docs on query parameters, advanced queries, paging, batching, throttling, errors, and best practices. Read only when you need specific guidance.
