Learn how to connect the Microsoft Teams MCP server to Atomicwork and manage AI agent tools.
Integrating the Microsoft Teams MCP (Model Context Protocol) server with Atomicwork gives your AI Coworkers access to Microsoft Teams. Once connected, your AI Coworkers can securely interact with Teams on your behalf to read chats, post to channels, list teams, manage meetings, and more.
For broader Universal Agent setup, you can also see how to connect Microsoft Teams and Atomicwork.
[!NOTE] Please note that you need the MCP server for AI Coworkers to leverage Microsoft Teams tools. For other Microsoft Teams actions, please connect via the App Store.
The Microsoft Teams MCP integration lives in the MCP Store under the Communication & Collaboration category, alongside other collaboration tools.
Configure the Microsoft Teams MCP integration
To connect the Microsoft Teams MCP server, you must have organizational admin access in Atomicwork and administrator access in Microsoft Teams to authorize the OAuth flow. Follow these steps to complete the setup:
- Navigate to the App Marketplace → MCP Store in your Atomicwork account and locate the Microsoft Teams tile.
- Click Connect to initiate the OAuth authorization flow. You will be redirected to Microsoft's secure login page (
login.microsoftonline.com). - Sign in using your Microsoft credentials.
- Grant the requested permissions. The integration automatically requests the
https://graph.microsoft.com/.defaultoffline_accessscope, which reads all delegated permissions configured in the Azure app registration without requiring manual scope selection. - Provide admin consent if required by your tenant policies. If your organization restricts third-party applications, a Global Admin in your Azure tenant must grant tenant-wide consent before you can complete the connection.
- Complete the connection. Once authorized, Atomicwork exchanges the authorization code for access and refresh tokens, and displays the list of available tools on your screen.
Manage tool access for AI Coworkers
After completing the setup, you can define which tools your AI Coworkers can access. This helps you maintain security by granting only the necessary capabilities to each AI Coworker. To learn more about how tools fit into your overall assistant strategy, read our guide on understanding the AI Workforce.
To configure tool access, follow these steps:
- Go to AI Workforce > AI Coworkers > Tools in your Atomicwork dashboard.
- Select the specific AI Coworker you want to modify. To learn how to create a new agent, see setting up an AI Coworker.
- Grant granular or complete access to the available Microsoft Teams tools based on your operational requirements.
In addition to standard agents, the workflow builder and the coding agent automatically have access to the MCP server when you build workflows with Admin Assist or write custom code scripts.
