A command guide that generates the XML manifest Microsoft 365 uses to install and configure the Claude add-in. It creates the appropriate file for Office apps or Outlook and includes settings for the selected cloud.

Use it to prepare manifests for Excel, Word, PowerPoint, or Outlook deployments connected to Vertex, Bedrock, Foundry, or a gateway.

It avoids manually editing XML and limits configuration prompts to the values required by the chosen cloud path.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00012	$0.04907
Opus 5.5	$0.00005	$0.01963
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00002	$0.00981
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00491

Measured 1mo ago against content hash 16e9aee2a032, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

manifest scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 404 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Generate add-in manifest

The script fetches the canonical manifest and appends your config to the taskpane URL. Sensitive settings (gateway_token, azure_api_key, google_client_secret, otlp_headers, inference_headers, mcp_servers) go after #; other settings are query parameters. Regenerate and redeploy manifests built with earlier versions. Outlook uses a separate template because Microsoft's MailApp schema is distinct from the TaskPaneApp schema Excel/Word/PowerPoint share, so ask which apps they're deploying and generate one file per host.

Host arg	Apps	Template
`office`	Excel, Word, PowerPoint	`pivot.claude.ai/manifest.xml`
`outlook`	Outlook (mail + calendar)	`pivot.claude.ai/manifest-outlook-3p.xml`

Keys by cloud

Prompt only for the keys their cloud path needs. Don't ask for all eight.

Cloud	Keys
Vertex	`gcp_project_id` `gcp_region` `google_client_id` `google_client_secret`
Bedrock	`aws_role_arn` `aws_region`
Foundry	`azure_resource_name` `azure_api_key` — or keyless: `azure_resource_name` + Entra (see Foundry keyless)
Gateway	`gateway_url` `gateway_token` `gateway_auth_header` `gateway_api_format`
Gateway (`gateway_api_format=vertex`)	also `gcp_project_id` `gcp_region`

Amazon Bedrock is not currently supported for the outlook host; the script exits with an error if you pass aws_* keys with outlook.

Outlook — Microsoft Graph

Outlook reads the user's mailbox and calendar via Microsoft Graph, which requires a one-time tenant-wide admin consent regardless of which cloud serves the model. Run consent before deploying — otherwise every user hits "Need admin approval" on first open.

If their policy forbids consenting to a third-party app, prompt for graph_client_id (their own single-tenant Entra app's client ID with Mail.ReadWrite, Calendars.Read, People.Read, User.Read, offline_access delegated permissions and admin consent granted). Otherwise leave it unset and the add-in uses Anthropic's multi-tenant app.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
