README
mega-outlook-mcp
The most-comprehensive cross-platform MCP server for local Microsoft Outlook automation. 64 tools across email, threading, calendar, contacts, tasks, notes, inbox rules, automatic replies, free/busy, the Global Address List, and Exchange-specific surface — all behind a single Python package that runs on both Windows and macOS.
The server is tooling only — scheduling and the agent loop live in your MCP client (LM Studio, Claude Desktop, or any MCP-compatible harness).
Why mega-outlook-mcp?
Two great community MCP servers already exist for Outlook:
Aanerud/outlook-desktop-mcp— 29 tools, Windows-only, Node.jshasan-imam/mcp-outlook-applescript— 49 tools, macOS-only, Node.js
mega-outlook-mcp is the union of both, plus more, in one Python package
with a unified Backend Protocol. Highlights:
- One install for both OSes.
pip install mega-outlook-mcpworks the same on Windows and macOS; the right backend is selected at startup. - Agent-friendly composite tools.
outlook_summarize_inbox,outlook_extract_action_items,outlook_find_unanswered,outlook_meeting_prep,outlook_relationship_graph, and more — single calls instead of N round trips. - Exchange-specific surface neither reference repo covers. Out-of-office, signatures, inbox rules, free/busy lookup, room finder, GAL search, delegated mailboxes, public folders, mailbox quota.
- Built-in compatibility self-test.
outlook_diagnosticsprobes every Outlook field this server depends on and tells you exactly which tools break if Microsoft renames something.

Install
pip install mega-outlook-mcp
Or with uv / pipx:
uv tool install mega-outlook-mcp
# or
pipx install mega-outlook-mcp
pywin32 is installed automatically on Windows via a platform marker; nothing
extra is needed on macOS (osascript ships with the OS).
Wire up an MCP client
Add the server to your MCP client config. Examples:
Claude Desktop (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS, %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"outlook": {
"command": "mega-outlook-mcp"
}
}
}
LM Studio: Settings → MCP → add a server with command mega-outlook-mcp.
If the GUI app can't find mega-outlook-mcp on PATH (common on macOS), use the absolute path:
{
"mcpServers": {
"outlook": {
"command": "/Users/you/.local/bin/python3",
"args": ["-m", "mega_outlook_mcp.server"]
}
}
}
Platform requirements
| OS | Outlook | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Windows 10/11 | Outlook Desktop (classic) signed in | pywin32 installs automatically |
| macOS 13+ | Outlook for Mac classic (16.x) | "New Outlook" not supported — Apple sandboxing blocks the AppleScript surface; use the classic UI toggle |
First-call sanity check
Tell your agent:
Call
outlook_diagnostics, thenoutlook_get_mailbox_info.
outlook_diagnostics should return status: HEALTHY. If it returns
DEGRADED:<n>_fields or BROKEN, read affected_tools and notes for
the cause. Most common: Outlook is closed, or the user is on "New Outlook"
on macOS.
Future-proofing against Outlook updates
outlook_diagnostics probes every Outlook field this server depends on
against a baseline manifest at src/mega_outlook_mcp/baseline/outlook_baseline.json.
Run it on a schedule (launchd, Task Scheduler, cron) so you find out
about regressions before an extraction job silently degrades. The
recommended audit prompt for your agent harness is at
docs/inspection-prompt.md.
What this server does NOT do
- No Microsoft Graph / OAuth — strictly local desktop Outlook
- No
recall_message(destructive on recipients), no voting buttons (rare) - No two-phase prepare/confirm pattern — that belongs in the agent prompt
- No "New Outlook" support on either platform until Microsoft restores APIs
