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.

Security

Grade A, and why

outlook-mcp CLAUDE.md 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 9d 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.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Development Commands

  • bun install - ALWAYS run first to install dependencies
  • bun run start - Start the MCP server
  • bun run auth-server - Start the OAuth authentication server on port 3333 (required for authentication)
  • bun run test-mode - Start the server in test mode with mock data
  • bun run inspect - Use MCP Inspector to test the server interactively
  • bun run typecheck - Run TypeScript type checking
  • bun test - Run Jest tests
  • ./test-modular-server.sh - Test the server using MCP Inspector
  • ./test-direct.sh - Direct testing script
  • bunx kill-port 3333 - Kill process using port 3333 if auth server won't start

Architecture Overview

This is a modular MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides Claude with access to Microsoft Outlook via the Microsoft Graph API. The architecture is organized into functional modules:

Core Structure

  • index.ts - Main entry point that combines all module tools and handles MCP protocol
  • config.ts - Centralized configuration including API endpoints, field selections, and authentication settings
  • outlook-auth-server.ts - Standalone OAuth server for authentication flow
  • types.ts - Shared TypeScript type definitions

Modules

Each module exports tools and handlers:

  • auth/ - OAuth 2.0 authentication with token management
  • calendar/ - Calendar operations (list, get, create, update, accept, tentatively accept, decline, forward, cancel, delete, free/busy)
  • email/ - Email management (list, search, read, send, reply, reply-all, forward, drafts, attachments, flag, copy, mark as read, categories, archive, delete)
  • folder/ - Folder operations (list, create, rename, delete, move emails)
  • rules/ - Email rules management (list, create, update, delete, edit sequence)
  • contacts/ - Contact management (list, get, create, update, delete)
  • tasks/ - Microsoft To Do integration (task lists, tasks CRUD)
  • settings/ - Mailbox settings (get settings, out-of-office, mail tips)
  • utils/ - Shared utilities including Graph API client and OData helpers

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.
