Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "planner": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-planner"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MS_TENANT_ID": "your-value",
        "MS_CLIENT_ID": "your-value",
        "MS_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-value",
        "PLANNER_ADVANCED_TOOLSET": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add planner --env MS_TENANT_ID=your-value --env MS_CLIENT_ID=your-value --env MS_CLIENT_SECRET=your-value --env PLANNER_ADVANCED_TOOLSET=your-value -- npx -y mcp-planner

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "planner": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-planner"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MS_TENANT_ID": "your-value",
        "MS_CLIENT_ID": "your-value",
        "MS_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-value",
        "PLANNER_ADVANCED_TOOLSET": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "planner": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-planner"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MS_TENANT_ID": "your-value",
        "MS_CLIENT_ID": "your-value",
        "MS_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-value",
        "PLANNER_ADVANCED_TOOLSET": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

MS_TENANT_ID required env
Microsoft Entra ID tenant id (GUID or domain)
MS_CLIENT_ID required env
Entra app registration client id
MS_CLIENT_SECRET secret required env
Entra app registration client secret (app needs Tasks.ReadWrite.All, GroupMember.Read.All, User.Read.All application permissions)
PLANNER_ADVANCED_TOOLSET env
true/1 registers the advanced toolset (graph_get, graph_find_endpoint) — a read-only escape hatch limited to /planner, /groups, /users

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Microsoft Planner 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?

You need to fill in: MS_TENANT_ID, MS_CLIENT_ID, MS_CLIENT_SECRET

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 (0.2.0) reached the registry 4 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.

What can I use instead?

mcp-planner

MCP server for Microsoft Planner via the Microsoft Graph API. Find groups and plans, list buckets and tasks, and create, update, assign, complete, or delete tasks — including descriptions and checklists — with Planner's ETag concurrency handled automatically.

Sibling project to mcp-itglue and mcp-connectwise-psa — same architecture.

Tools

Tool	Description
`planner_search_groups`	Find Microsoft 365 groups (Teams) by name → group ID
`planner_find_user`	Find a user by name/UPN → user ID for assignments
`planner_list_plans`	List plans owned by a group
`planner_get_plan`	Plan + its buckets
`planner_create_bucket`	Create a bucket in a plan
`planner_list_tasks`	Tasks in a plan or bucket (filter by assignee, open/completed)
`planner_list_user_tasks`	All tasks assigned to a user, across plans
`planner_get_task`	Task with description and checklist
`planner_create_task`	Create task (bucket, due date, priority, assignees, description)
`planner_update_task`	Update title/bucket/due/priority/progress/assignees
`planner_update_task_details`	Update description; add or (un)check checklist items
`planner_delete_task`	Permanently delete a task
`graph_find_endpoint` †	Search a curated catalog of the /planner, /groups, /users Graph surface
`graph_get` †	Read-only GET for any Graph v1.0 path under /planner, /groups, /users

† Advanced toolset (opt-in, off by default) — an escape hatch for Graph surface the curated tools don't wrap. Enable with PLANNER_ADVANCED_TOOLSET=true or --advanced. graph_get is verb-locked to GET, rejects /beta, and only reaches the three path prefixes above, so a shared app registration's other permissions (e.g. mail) stay out of reach.

Setup

1. Entra ID app registration

Entra admin center → App registrations → New registration
API permissions → Application permissions → add Tasks.ReadWrite.All, GroupMember.Read.All, User.Read.All → Grant admin consent
Certificates & secrets → New client secret — note the value

2. Run

MS_TENANT_ID=<tenant> MS_CLIENT_ID=<client-id> MS_CLIENT_SECRET=<secret> npx -y mcp-planner

Claude Code:

claude mcp add planner --env MS_TENANT_ID=<tenant> --env MS_CLIENT_ID=<client-id> --env MS_CLIENT_SECRET=<secret> -- npx -y mcp-planner

HTTP mode

npx -y mcp-planner --transport http --port 3000

Sessions authenticate per-request (BYOK) with x-ms-tenant-id + x-ms-client-id plus either x-ms-client-secret (app-only) or x-ms-refresh-token (delegated — see below), or fall back to the MS_* environment credentials when set. When both a secret and a refresh token arrive, the refresh token wins (header-overlay proxies can add but not remove headers). Health probe at GET /health.

Delegated mode — act as the signed-in user

App-only sessions act as the app registration; delegated sessions act as a user: their Planner permissions apply and every write is attributed to them.

A separate, public app registration: Authentication → *Allow public client flows* → Yes; API permissions → Delegated Tasks.ReadWrite, Group.Read.All, User.ReadBasic.All (+ admin consent where the tenant requires it).
Each user signs in once via the device-code helper and keeps the printed refresh token:

node scripts/device-login.mjs --tenant <tenant-id> --client <public-client-id>

Use MS_REFRESH_TOKEN instead of MS_CLIENT_SECRET (stdio), or the x-ms-refresh-token header (HTTP). Behind the MCP gateway, register it as a personal credential (field x-ms-refresh-token).

The refresh token is a secret — it acts as you — and stays valid ~90 days past its last use; re-run the helper when it expires.

Docker

docker build -t mcp-planner .

docker run -p 3000:3000 -e MS_TENANT_ID=... -e MS_CLIENT_ID=... -e MS_CLIENT_SECRET=... mcp-planner

Access model

No MCP-level role gating: the Entra app registration's granted Graph permissions are the access control. Point sessions at different app registrations (BYOK headers) to scope what they can do.

Notes

Planner requires an If-Match ETag on every update/delete — the tools fetch the current resource and pass its ETag automatically. On a 412 (concurrent change), just retry.
Priority mapping: urgent=1, important=3, medium=5, low=9 (Graph uses 0–10).
Progress: not started (0), in progress (50), completed (100).
