Outlook Tool

The MCP Outlook Tool is a project that consists of two main components: a client and a server. These components work together to interact with Microsoft Outlook and other tools via the MCP (Modular Command Protocol) framework.

Project Structure

Components

1. Client

The client is responsible for interacting with the server and processing user queries. It uses the Anthropic API and MCP framework to process queries and execute tools.

• Main File: outlook-mcp-client/src/main.py
• Core Logic: outlook-mcp-client/src/mcp_client.py

2. Server

The server provides tools and resources for interacting with Microsoft Graph API to manage Outlook data such as emails, users, and more.

• Main File: outlook-mcp-server/main.py
• Core Logic: outlook-mcp-server/src/mcp_server.py
• Graph API Integration: outlook-mcp-server/src/graph.py

Prerequisites

• Python 3.12 or higher
• Required dependencies listed in pyproject.toml for both client and server
• Microsoft Azure credentials for Graph API integration
