With its recent AI makeover, it can do more than just help you write code. You can connect your applications to it and let LLMs automate many of the mundane tasks in your workflow. In this guide, I will explain how to connect Microsoft teams with VS Code in the most secure and robust way possible via Composio. ## Also integrate Microsoft teams with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/cursor) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### Why use Composio? Composio provides: - Access to 1,000+ managed apps from a single MCP endpoint. This makes it convenient for agents to run cross-app workflows. - Programmatic tool calling. Allows LLMs to write its code in a remote workbench to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling. - Large tool response handling outside the LLM context. This minimizes context bloat from large tool responses. - Dynamic just-in-time access to thousands of tools across hundreds of apps. Composio loads the tools your agent needs, so LLMs are not overwhelmed by tools they do not need. ## Connect Microsoft teams to VS Code ### Integrate Microsoft teams MCP with VS Code ### 1. Install with one click Click the button below to add Composio to VS Code. You will be prompted to authorize. This requires VS Code 1.99+ with GitHub Copilot. [+Install in VS Code](vscode:mcp/install?%7B%22name%22%3A%22composio%22%2C%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.composio.dev%2Fmcp%22%7D) ### 2. Or add manually Open or create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root and add the following configuration: ```bash { "servers": { "composio": { "type": "http", "url": "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp" } } } ``` ## What is the Microsoft teams MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Microsoft Teams MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Microsoft Teams account. It provides structured and secure access to your Teams workspace, so your agent can perform actions like managing chats, sending messages, creating meetings, and organizing teams on your behalf. - Automated chat and message management: Let your agent retrieve, read, and summarize messages from any Teams chat, or fetch all chats you’re part of for quick updates. - Team and channel organization: Easily create new teams, add members, get channel details, or archive and delete teams to keep your workspace organized. - Scheduling online meetings: Have your agent schedule standalone Teams meetings instantly, making it simple to coordinate with colleagues or clients without manual setup. - Granular access to team and chat details: Fetch full information about specific teams, channels, or even individual messages with precision, enabling rich contextual workflows. - Seamless membership and collaboration management: Add or update members in teams with a prompt, ensuring the right people always have access to the conversations and resources they need. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `MICROSOFT_TEAMS_ADD_MEMBER_TO_TEAM` | Add member to team | Tool to add a user to a microsoft teams team. use when granting or updating membership for a user. | | `MICROSOFT_TEAMS_ARCHIVE_TEAM` | Archive Teams team | Tool to archive a microsoft teams team. use after confirming the team id;

Start with one workflow you do repeatedly, then keep adding apps as you find new handoffs. With everything behind a single MCP endpoint, your agent can coordinate multiple tools safely and reliably in one conversation. ## How to build Microsoft teams MCP Agent with another framework - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/cursor) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/openclaw) - [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/hermes-agent) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/microsoft_teams/framework/crew-ai) ## Related Toolkits - [Gmail](https://composio.dev/toolkits/gmail) - Gmail is Google's email service with powerful spam protection, search, and G Suite integration.

With a standalone Microsoft teams MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Microsoft teams tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Microsoft teams and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint. ### Can I use Tool Router MCP with VS Code? Yes, you can. VS Code fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Microsoft teams tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Microsoft teams while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Microsoft teams scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do. ### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router? All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Microsoft teams data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
