Frequently asked questions

What runtime and dependencies are required?

Node.js 20.x or higher and a global installation of CLI for Microsoft 365 (`@pnp/cli-microsoft365`) are required.

How does authentication work?

The MCP server does not handle authentication. You must first authenticate using `m365 login` in CLI for Microsoft 365; the server then reuses that authenticated context.

What Microsoft 365 services can this server manage?

It can manage Entra ID, OneDrive, OneNote, Outlook, Planner, Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Platform, SharePoint Embedded, SharePoint Online, Teams, Viva Engage, and many other areas covered by CLI for Microsoft 365.

Which transport protocol does the server use?

The server communicates over stdio using a command‑based interface. It is added to MCP clients as a `stdio` type with the command `npx -y @pnp/cli-microsoft365-mcp-server@latest`.

Are there any configuration steps for best performance?

Yes. Set CLI configuration to `prompt false`, `output text`, and `helpMode full` so the server receives maximum detail when errors or unexpected results occur.
