Microsoft Teams MCP connector
The Microsoft Teams connector brings your teams, channels, chats, and messages to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent, so each person can search conversations, catch up on channels, and send chat messages as themselves, with every action logged.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Microsoft Teams to Claude?
First connect Microsoft Teams in Elaichi. You are sent to the standard Microsoft sign-in page, you approve access for your own account, and you are done, with no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude asks you to sign in to Elaichi and Microsoft Teams is available from there.
Does Microsoft Teams work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Microsoft Teams is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Microsoft Teams once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Microsoft Teams data?
With Microsoft Teams connected, an agent can list your teams and channels, read channel messages and chat messages, search across users and teams, and summarize what happened in a conversation you missed. It can also start chats, send and edit chat messages, create or rename channels, and remove members from a team, always as the person who signed in. Because Microsoft Teams has a large set of actions, short concrete asks such as "summarize the support channel since yesterday" work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting Microsoft Teams give the AI access to every team and chat?
No. Access to Microsoft Teams follows the person who signed in, so the agent only sees the teams, channels, and chats that person can already open in Teams. Elaichi can narrow that further by hiding actions or limiting what a team's toolbox includes, but it can never widen what Microsoft has granted.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Microsoft Teams?
Yes. In Elaichi you can restrict Microsoft Teams actions one by one, for example allowing reading and searching while blocking deleting channels, chats, or messages and removing team members. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, or any other client, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.
What happens to a Microsoft Teams connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to Microsoft Teams through every client at once. If they had shared a Microsoft Teams connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else. Disconnecting Microsoft Teams once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client at the same time.
