Overview
Microsoft Teams MCP Server
MCP Teams Server connects AI assistants to a specific Microsoft Teams channel, letting them read messages, start and reply to threads with mentions, and list channel members. It requires an MS Entra ID app registration and a configured team and channel ID. Use it when you want an AI assistant to monitor or post into one specific Teams channel; it does not operate across an entire Teams tenant, only the channel it is configured for.
What it does
MCP Teams Server is a Model Context Protocol server for Microsoft Teams that gives AI assistants the ability to read channel messages, start new threads, reply to existing threads, list channel team members, and mention users - covering the core read/write actions of a Teams channel.
When to use - and when NOT to
Use it when you want an AI assistant to monitor or participate in a specific Microsoft Teams channel: summarizing conversations, posting updates, replying to threads, or mentioning teammates. It requires a Microsoft Teams account with an MS Entra ID application registered in Azure (app ID, client secret, tenant ID) plus a specific team and channel ID, so it is scoped to one configured channel rather than acting across an entire Teams tenant.
Capabilities
The server exposes tools to start a thread in a channel with a title and contents (mentioning users), update existing threads with replies (also with mentions), read thread replies, list channel team members, and read channel messages. It defaults to stdio transport, supports streamable-http for HTTP deployments via a --transport flag, and keeps the legacy sse transport available for older clients. The project's own integration test suite exercises these tools against a live Teams tenant, configured via TEST_THREAD_ID, TEST_MESSAGE_ID, and TEST_USER_NAME environment variables and run with uv run pytest -m integration.
How to install
Clone the repository and install with uv (requires the uv package manager and Python 3.12):
git clone https://github.com/InditexTech/mcp-teams-server
cd mcp-teams-server
uv venv
uv sync --frozen --all-extras --dev
Configure TEAMS_APP_ID, TEAMS_APP_PASSWORD, TEAMS_APP_TENANT_ID, TEAM_ID, and TEAMS_CHANNEL_ID as environment variables (a sample .env template is provided), then start it with uv run mcp-teams-server. A pre-built Docker image is also published at ghcr.io/inditextech/mcp-teams-server:latest, pullable directly or buildable from source with docker build . -t inditextech/mcp-teams-server; run it with docker run --env-file .env -it inditextech/mcp-teams-server, adding -p 8000:8000 and --transport streamable-http for HTTP deployments. A dedicated guide documents how to connect an LLM client to the running server. The project is Apache-2.0 licensed, maintained by INDITEX.
Who it's for
Teams and organizations using Microsoft Teams for internal communication who want an AI assistant to keep a specific channel updated, triage incoming messages, or participate in threaded discussions without a human manually relaying every message. The project also publishes SonarCloud quality metrics (bugs, maintainability, reliability) and an OpenSSF Scorecard rating for teams vetting it before deployment.

Teams configuration
Please read this document to help you to configure Microsoft Teams and required
Azure resources. It is not a step-by-step guide but can help you figure out what you will need.
Usage
Set up the following environment variables in your shell or in an .env file. You can use sample file
as a template:
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
| TEAMS_APP_ID | UUID for your MS Entra ID application ID |
| TEAMS_APP_PASSWORD | Client secret |
| TEAMS_APP_TENANT_ID | Tenant uuid in case of SingleTenant |
| TEAM_ID | MS Teams Group Id or Team Id |
| TEAMS_CHANNEL_ID | MS Teams Channel ID with url escaped chars |
Start the server:
uv run mcp-teams-server
The default MCP transport is stdio. You can also use streamable-http for HTTP deployments:
uv run mcp-teams-server --transport streamable-http
The legacy sse transport is still available for older clients.
Development
Integration tests require the set-up the following environment variables:
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
| TEST_THREAD_ID | timestamp of the thread id |
| TEST_MESSAGE_ID | timestamp of the message id |
| TEST_USER_NAME | test user name |
uv run pytest -m integration
Pre-built docker image
There is a pre-built image hosted in ghcr.io.
You can install this image by running the following command
docker pull ghcr.io/inditextech/mcp-teams-server:latest
Build docker image
A docker image is available to run MCP server. You can build it with the following command:
