This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: MS_CLIENT_ID (Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) application client ID), MS_CONFIG_DIR (Path to the per-user Microsoft config directory (credentials/, accounts.json)), MS_ACCOUNT_EMAIL (Account email when running in multi-account per-instance mode (falls back to the first account in accounts.json)), MS_MCP_PACKAGE_ID (Logical package ID surfaced in error responses), MICROSOFT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS (Override the upstream Microsoft Graph request timeout in milliseconds (max 300000 = 5 min)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Microsoft 365 Files — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Microsoft 365 Files?
Microsoft 365 Files 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 @mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-files was installed 79 times last week.
How do I connect Microsoft 365 Files?
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 @mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-files straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Microsoft 365 Files?
The npm package @mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-files was installed 79 times in the last week. Week over week that is +36%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Microsoft 365 Files open source?
We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript, 12 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
