Common questions

Is Cli Microsoft365 MCP Server safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.22) reached the registry 6 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

CLI for Microsoft 365 MCP Server

💡 Description

This MCP server allows the use of natural language to execute any CLI for Microsoft 365 commands. It may handle complex prompts that will be executed as a chain of CLI for Microsoft 365 commands that will try to fulfill the user's request. Thanks to this, you may manage many different areas of Microsoft 365, for example: Entra ID, OneDrive, OneNote, Outlook, Planner, Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Platform, SharePoint Embedded, SharePoint Online, Teams, Viva Engage, and many more...

For best results, use it with Claude Sonnet 4 or Claude Sonnet 3.7.

📦 Prerequisites

Node.js 20.x or higher
CLI for Microsoft 365 installed globally (npm i -g @pnp/cli-microsoft365)

🚀 Installation & Usage

👉 Check out the CLI for Microsoft 365 MCP Server Guide

👉 Check out the Getting Started recording 🎬

This MCP server uses the globally installed CLI for Microsoft 365 that you need to install globally using npm i -g @pnp/cli-microsoft365.

After you install the CLI for Microsoft 365 perform the initial setup by running the:

m365 setup

For more information, please follow the Log in to Microsoft 365

After you set up the CLI for Microsoft 365, please update its configuration using the following commands:

m365 cli config set --key prompt --value false

m365 cli config set --key output --value text m365 cli config set --key helpMode --value full

This will ensure that the MCP server will get as much information as possible from the CLI for Microsoft 365 when an error occurs or when a command is not executed properly.

The MCP server will not do any authentication for you. You will need to first authenticate using CLI for Microsoft 365 using m365 login command. Once you are authenticated, the MCP server will use the same authentication context when running any tool.

Lastly, install the MCP server on your preferred MCP client, referring to the instructions of the picked MCP host. Below, you may find guidance for VS Code.

Add to VS Code

There are multiple ways to add the MCP server to VS Code. The most common way is to:

Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS) and type MCP: Add Server.
Select Command (stdio) as the server type.
Enter the command to run the MCP server, which is:

   npx -y @pnp/cli-microsoft365-mcp-server@latest

Name the server (e.g., CLI for Microsoft 365 MCP Server).

As a result, you should have the following configuration in your .vscode/mcp.json file:

"servers": { "CLI for Microsoft 365 MCP Server": { "type": "stdio", "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@pnp/cli-microsoft365-mcp-server@latest" ] } } }

Now when you open the GitHub Copilot chat in VS Code, you should be able to select the CLI for Microsoft 365 MCP Server from the list of available MCP servers and start using it to manage Microsoft 365 using natural language. In the prompt specify that "Using CLI for Microsoft 365, I want you to..." and GitHub Copilot Agent will use the MCP server to execute your request.

Add to GitHub Copilot CLI

If you are using GitHub Copilot CLI, you may add the CLI for Microsoft 365 MCP server to Copilot by doing the following:

First of all start the Copilot CLI by running:

  copilot

Use the copilot mcp command to add the MCP server:

  /mcp add

This will open up the MCP form where you need to fill in the following details:

Server name: basically whatever you like, but do not use space bar characters, e.g cli-microsoft365-mcp-server
Server type: select Local
Command: npx
Arguments: "-y", "@pnp/cli-microsoft365-mcp-server@latest"

Rest of the fields you may leave with default values.

After that click on Ctrl+S to save the MCP server and q to exit the MCP form. Now you should be able to use the CLI for Microsoft 365 MCP server in GitHub Copilot CLI by specifying it in your prompt, e.g. "Using CLI for Microsoft 365, I want you to...".

Add to Claude

When using Claude Desktop you may add the MCP server by adding it manually to the Claude Desktop configuration.

Manually add to Claude Desktop configuration

In Claude Desktop, open Settings by clicking on the hamburger icon in the top left corner.
Select File > Settings (or press Ctrl + ,)
In the Developer tab, click Edit Config Note: If you don't see the Developer tab, you need to enable it first from Help > Enable Developer Mode.
This opens explorer, edit claude_desktop_config.json in your favorite text editor.

Add the following configuration to the file.

"mcpServers": { "CLI-Microsoft365": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@pnp/cli-microsoft365-mcp-server@latest"] } } }

Exit Claude Desktop and restart it. Every time you make changes to the code or configuration, you need to restart Claude desktop for the changes to take effect.

Note: In Windows, Claude doesn't exit when you close the window, it runs in the background. You can find it in the system tray. Right-click on the icon and select Quit to exit the application completely.

All done! You should now be able to use the CLI-Microsoft365 MCP server in Claude Desktop.

Add to Cursor

When using Cursor you can add the MCP server by doing the following:

From the chat option pick the Agent settings option
Go to Tools & MCP tab and click on New MCP server
Modify the mcp.json configuration as follows:

"mcpServers": { "CLI for Microsoft 365 MCP Server": { "type": "stdio", "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@pnp/cli-microsoft365-mcp-server@latest" ] } } }

Save and enable the 'CLI for Microsoft 365 MCP Server' in the Tools & MCP tab and wait for the tools to load.

📷 Use Cases

The below uses cases are only a few example how you may use this MCP server. It is capable of handling many different tasks, so feel free to experiment with it and basically manage all of Microsoft 365 using natural language.

Also you may check the CLI for Microsoft 365 wiki to find more scenarios how ClI for Microsoft 365 can be used to manage Microsoft 365.

Manage SharePoint Online

In the following example, the MCP server created a SharePoint list with new columns and populated it with a few test items.

prompt: "Add a new list to this site with title "awesome ducks". Then add new columns to that list including them in the default view. The first should be a text description columns and the second one should be a user column. Then add 3 items to this list with some funny jokes about docs added in the description column and adding my user in the user column. use emojis 🙂"

Manage Microsoft Teams

The following example shows how to create a new Microsoft Teams team and add a welcome post to the General channel.

prompt: "Create a new Team on Teams with name "Awesome Ducks" and in the General channel adda a welcome post"

Manage Power Platform solutions

In the example, the MCP server disables a Power Automate flow.

prompt: "can you check if I have HoursReportingReminder flow and if so disable it"

Manage Planner

In the following example, the MCP server creates a new Planner plan with sample buckets and tasks.

prompt: "can you create a new plan in planner to manage work for the awesome ducks. I need some sample buckets and tasks to get started"
