Outlook email and calendar via Microsoft Graph API.
SKILL.md
# Outlook Skill
Access Outlook/Hotmail email and calendar via Microsoft Graph API using OAuth2.
## Quick Setup (Automated)
```bash
# Requires: Azure CLI, jq
./scripts/outlook-setup.sh
```
The setup script will:
1. Log you into Azure (device code flow)
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.

./scripts/outlook-token.sh refresh # Refresh expired token

### Example Output
```bash
$ ./scripts/outlook-mail.sh inbox 3
{
"n": 1,
"subject": "Your weekly digest",
"from": "digest@example.com",
"date": "2026-01-25T15:44",
"read": false,
"id": "icYY6QAIUE26PgAAAA=="

"to": ["you@hotmail.com"],
"date": "2026-01-25T15:44:00Z",
"body": "Here's what happened this week..."
}
$ ./scripts/outlook-mail.sh stats
{
"folder": "Inbox",
"total": 14098,
"unread": 2955
}
$ ./scripts/outlook-calendar.sh today
{
"n": 1,
"subject": "Team standup",
"start": "2026-01-25T10:00",
"end": "2026-01-25T10:30",
"location": "Teams",
"id": "AAMkAGQ5NzE4YjQ3..."
}
$ ./scripts/outlook-calendar.sh create "Lunch with client" "2026-01-26T13:00" "2026-01-26T14:00" "Restaurant"
{
"status": "event created",
"subject": "Lunch with client",
"start": "2026-01-26T13:00",
"end": "2026-01-26T14:00",
"id": "AAMkAGQ5NzE4YjQ3..."
}
```
## Token Refresh
Access tokens expire after ~1 hour. Refresh with:
```bash
./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.
