teams-mcp copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from Ritchy-EU/teams-mcp. It costs 1,097 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Development instructions for a server that connects AI assistants to Microsoft Teams through Microsoft Graph, Microsoft’s API for services such as Teams, chats, users, and search. They document the code structure, authentication, data flow, and API types.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or reviewing teams-mcp, including its command-line authentication, Teams tools, search tools, and Graph API services.
Why use it?
They give contributors a shared map of the project so new changes follow its existing components and data-handling patterns.

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

teams-mcp copilot-instructions.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 5d 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.

Copilot Instructions — teams-mcp

Architecture

This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that bridges AI assistants to Microsoft Graph APIs for Teams, chats, users, and search. It runs as a CLI tool (npx @ritchy-eu/teams-mcp@latest) over stdio transport.

Key components

  • src/index.ts — Entry point. Dual-mode: CLI commands (authenticate, check, logout) and MCP server mode (default). Registers all tool modules against a single McpServer instance.
  • src/services/graph.tsGraphService singleton. Manages Microsoft Graph client initialization from a stored OAuth token (~/.msgraph-mcp-auth.json). All Graph API calls flow through graphService.getClient().
  • src/tools/*.ts — Tool registration modules (auth, chats, search, teams, users). Each exports a register*Tools(server, graphService) function that calls server.tool() with Zod schemas for input validation.
  • src/types/graph.ts — Re-exports @microsoft/microsoft-graph-types and defines custom response/summary interfaces (GraphApiResponse<T>, *Summary types). All API response shapes live here.
  • src/utils/ — Shared helpers: markdown.ts (markdown→sanitized HTML via marked+DOMPurify), attachments.ts (image hosted content uploads), users.ts (@mention parsing and user lookup).

Data flow

AI Assistant → stdio → McpServer → register*Tools handler → GraphService.getClient() → Microsoft Graph API

Development

npm run build          # Clean + tsc compile
npm run dev            # Watch mode (node --watch)
npm test               # vitest run
npm run test:watch     # vitest interactive
npm run test:coverage  # vitest with v8 coverage (80% threshold on all metrics)
npm run lint           # biome check
npm run lint:fix       # biome check --write --unsafe

TypeScript & Module Conventions

  • ESM-only ("type": "module" in package.json). Use .js extensions in import paths (TypeScript moduleResolution: "bundler").
  • Strict mode enabled with noUnusedLocals, noUnusedParameters, exactOptionalPropertyTypes, noImplicitOverride.
  • Prefix unused catch variables with underscore: catch (_error).
  • Linting/formatting via Biome (not ESLint/Prettier). Use node: protocol for Node.js built-in imports.

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.
