Microsoft Teams is Microsoft’s collaboration platform for chat, meetings, and teamwork. The Microsoft Teams MCP server lets you create channels, send messages, manage meetings, and work with members using natural language.

​
What Can It Do?

  • List and create teams and channels for your organization
  • Send and retrieve messages in chats and channels
  • Manage team membership by adding or removing users
  • Schedule, update, and cancel meetings automatically

​
Where to Use It

Add Microsoft Teams as a tool to any agent. The agent can then manage your Teams workspace conversationally, choosing the right actions based on context. To add an MCP tool to your agent:
  1. Open your agent’s configuration
  2. Click Add tools → Connect an app with MCP
  3. Search for the integration and select it
  4. Authenticate with your account
You can control which tools your agent has access to. After adding an integration, click on it to enable or disable specific tools based on what your agent needs.

​
In Workflows (Via Agent Node)

For automated pipelines, use an Agent Node with Microsoft Teams tools. This gives you the flexibility of an agent within a deterministic workflow.

​
As a Custom MCP Node

You can also create a standalone MCP node for a specific action. This generates a reusable node that performs one task, useful when you need the same operation repeatedly in workflows.
To create a custom MCP node:
  1. Go to your node library and search for the integration
  2. Click Create a node with AI
  3. Describe the specific action you want (e.g., “Send a message to the General channel”)
  4. Test the node and save it for reuse
Custom MCP nodes are single-purpose by design. For tasks that require multiple steps or dynamic decision-making, use an agent instead.

Troubleshooting

IssueSolution
Agent not finding the right dataUse exact team and channel names
Action not completingCheck that you’ve authenticated with Microsoft 365
Unexpected resultsThe agent may chain multiple tools (e.g., finding a team first, then posting). Review the agent’s reasoning to understand its approach.
Tool not availableVerify the tool is enabled in your agent’s MCP configuration
Agents are smart enough to chain multiple API calls together. For example, asking “Post to the Marketing Announcements channel” will find the team and channel first, then post. If results seem off, check the agent’s step-by-step reasoning.
