This one needs environment variables set before it will start: OUTLOOK_ACCESS_TOKEN (Pre-obtained Outlook bearer token. Overrides the browser bridge. Power users / CI only; tokens last about 25 hours.), OUTLOOK_DISABLE_FETCHPROXY (Set to '1' to disable browser capture, requiring OUTLOOK_ACCESS_TOKEN.), OUTLOOK_API_BASE (Override the Outlook REST base URL. Defaults to https://outlook.office.com/api/v2.0.), OUTLOOK_WS_PORT (fetchproxy concentrator port used for token capture. Defaults to 37149, the fleet-wide shared port.), OUTLOOK_CAPTURE_TIMEOUT (Seconds to wait for the Outlook tab to make a request we can read a token from. Defaults to 30.), OUTLOOK_TOKEN_CACHE (Set to 'false' to stop caching the captured token between runs. Defaults to true.), OUTLOOK_TOKEN_FILE (Path to the cached token file. Defaults to ~/.office-outlook-mcp/token.json.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Office Outlook MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Office Outlook MCP?
Office Outlook MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @chrischall/office-outlook-mcp was installed 230 times last week.
How do I connect Office Outlook MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @chrischall/office-outlook-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Office Outlook MCP?
The npm package @chrischall/office-outlook-mcp was installed 230 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Office Outlook MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
