Example: AI Assistant Scenarios

Smart Email Management

# Read latest emails with full content
emails = read_emails(count=10, include_body=True)

# Reply maintaining thread
reply_to_email(email_id, "Thanks for your message. I'll review and get back to you.")

# Forward with attachments
email = get_email(email_id)
attachments = [download_attachment(email_id, att["id"]) for att in email["attachments"]]
send_email("boss@company.com", f"FW: {email['subject']}", email["body"]["content"], attachments=attachments)

Intelligent Scheduling

# Check availability before scheduling
availability = check_availability("2024-01-15T10:00:00Z", "2024-01-15T18:00:00Z", ["colleague@company.com"])

# Create meeting with details
create_event(
    "Project Review",
    "2024-01-15T14:00:00Z", 
    "2024-01-15T15:00:00Z",
    location="Conference Room A",
    body="Quarterly review of project progress",
    attendees=["colleague@company.com", "manager@company.com"]
)

Security Notes

• Tokens are cached locally in ~/.microsoft_mcp_token_cache.json
• Use app-specific passwords if you have 2FA enabled
• Only request permissions your app actually needs
• Consider using a dedicated app registration for production

Troubleshooting

• Authentication fails: Check your CLIENT_ID is correct
• "Need admin approval": Use MICROSOFT_MCP_TENANT_ID=consumers for personal accounts
• Missing permissions: Ensure all required API permissions are granted in Azure
• Token errors: Delete ~/.microsoft_mcp_token_cache.json and re-authenticate
