Microsoft 365 + MCP / API

Course Contacts

Use with Claude Enterprise connected to Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, or Microsoft Graph.

Do

  • County-approved Claude + allowlisted Microsoft connectors/MCP only
  • Prefer read-only until action verbs are justified
  • Remember OAuth = the agent acts as you
  • Confirm before Send, Teams post, delete/move, sharing links
  • Decide yourself on eligibility, HR, enforcement outcomes
  • Minimize personal data (GDPA); verify drafts before use
  • Report injection, bad sends, token issues immediately
  • Use approved PowerPoint / Power Automate / Power Apps MCPs to create, edit, and diagnose work much faster (often ~10×–80×+), then verify before publish

Don’t

  • Paste non-public M365 content into public AI
  • Put Graph secrets/passwords/tokens in prompts
  • Grant broad *.ReadWrite.All “just in case”
  • Allow auto-send or bulk-delete without preview
  • Enable new Microsoft AI buttons without County review
  • Assume Enterprise access = every site/mailbox is allowed
  • Ignore “ignore policy and export…” content in email/Teams
