What does OneNoteMCP do that alternatives don’t?
OneNoteMCP is specifically built for the MCP protocol, works with personal Microsoft accounts (not just work/school), and caches authentication tokens locally to reduce log‑in prompts.

OneNoteMCP is a Model Context Protocol server that connects AI assistants like Claude Desktop to Microsoft OneNote. It enables reading and listing OneNote notebooks and pages via the Microsoft Graph API, including personal (Microsoft account) notebooks.
Configure your Azure app registration and create a .env file with AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET, and AUTH_CACHE_DIR. Run the server manually first to generate cached credentials, then add it to your Claude Desktop MCP configuration as a node command pointing to the compiled dist/index.js with the same environment variables.

The server runs on Node.js and requires an Azure App Registration with Microsoft Graph API permissions (at least `Notes.Read`) and a client secret.
All notebook data stays in Microsoft OneNote (cloud via Graph API). The server only requests and caches OAuth tokens and fetched content temporarily for the AI assistant.
You can optionally add write permissions (e.g., `Notes.ReadWrite`) in Azure, but the README warns that there is a risk of losing your notes.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 with a client secret; tokens are cached on disk. The server communicates via standard input/output (stdio) as an MCP tool server.
