About this skill

Outlook Skill

Access Outlook/Hotmail email and calendar via Microsoft Graph API using OAuth2.

  2. Create an App Registration automatically
  3. Configure API permissions (Mail.ReadWrite, Mail.Send, Calendars.ReadWrite)
  4. Guide you through authorization
  5. Save credentials to ~/.outlook-mcp/

Manual Setup

See references/setup.md for step-by-step manual configuration via Azure Portal.

  "id": "AAMkAGQ5NzE4YjQ3..."
}

Token Refresh

Access tokens expire after ~1 hour. Refresh with:

./scripts/outlook-token.sh refresh

Files

  • ~/.outlook-mcp/config.json - Client ID and secret
  • ~/.outlook-mcp/credentials.json - OAuth tokens (access + refresh)

Permissions

  • Mail.ReadWrite - Read and modify emails
  • Mail.Send - Send emails
  • Calendars.ReadWrite - Read and modify calendar events
  • offline_access - Refresh tokens (stay logged in)
  • User.Read - Basic profile info

Notes

  • Email IDs: The id field shows the last 20 characters of the full message ID. Use this ID with commands like read, mark-read, delete, etc.
  • Numbered results: Emails are numbered (n: 1, 2, 3...) for easy reference in conversation.
  • Text extraction: HTML email bodies are automatically converted to plain text.
  • Token expiry: Access tokens expire after ~1 hour. Run outlook-token.sh refresh when you see auth errors.
  • Recent emails: Commands like read, mark-read, etc. search the 100 most recent emails for the ID.

Troubleshooting

"Token expired" → Run outlook-token.sh refresh

"Invalid grant" → Token invalid, re-run setup: outlook-setup.sh

"Insufficient privileges" → Check app permissions in Azure Portal → API Permissions

"Message not found" → The email may be older than 100 messages. Use search to find it first.

"Folder not found" → Use exact folder name. Run folders to see available folders.

  • Personal Microsoft accounts (outlook.com, hotmail.com, live.com)
