# Outlook Skill
Access Outlook/Hotmail email and calendar via Microsoft Graph API using OAuth2.
Quick Setup (Automated)
# Requires: Azure CLI, jq
./scripts/outlook-setup.shThe 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.
Multiple Accounts
You can connect multiple Outlook accounts (personal, work, etc.):
Setup additional accounts
./scripts/outlook-setup.sh --account work
./scripts/outlook-setup.sh --account personalUse specific account
./scripts/outlook-mail.sh --account work inbox
./scripts/outlook-calendar.sh --account personal today
./scripts/outlook-token.sh --account work refreshOr use environment variable
export OUTLOOK_ACCOUNT=work
./scripts/outlook-mail.sh inboxList configured accounts
./scripts/outlook-token.sh listCredentials are stored separately:
~/.outlook-mcp/
default/
config.json
credentials.json
work/
config.json
credentials.jsonExisting single-account setups are auto-migrated to `default`.

}Token Refresh
Access tokens expire after ~1 hour. Refresh with:
./scripts/outlook-token.sh refreshFiles
Permissions
Notes
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.
Supported Accounts
Security Considerations
If you prefer not to use automated setup, follow the manual configuration in `references/setup.md`.
