01 · Install OWA Exchange MCP Server

before you install - you'll need

EXCHANGE_OWA_URL

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add nhype-owa-exchange-mcp -- uvx exchange-mcp-server

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nhype-owa-exchange-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "exchange-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package exchange-mcp-server - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.nhype is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What OWA Exchange MCP Server can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can list emails from a folder with filtering, get full email content by ID, send a new email, and delete an email.

Meeting

7 tools - e.g. Create a meeting with attendees; Update an existing meeting; Cancel a meeting and notify attendees

get_emails · get_calendar_events · get_event_links · find_person · get_folders · find_free_time

Folder

5 tools - e.g. Create a new mail folder; Rename an existing folder; Empty all items from a folder

create_folder · rename_folder · empty_folder · delete_folder · move_folder

Download

2 tools - e.g. Download file attachments from an email; Download file attachments from a calendar event

Check

1 tool - e.g. Check if the OWA session is authenticated

check_session

auth & access

1 tool - e.g. Authenticate to OWA (credential setup + 2FA login)

Limitations (from the README)

Every Exchange / OWA deployment has its own authentication setup - some require 2FA (push notifications, TOTP, SMS), others use single-factor login or SSO. The login logic in this project (login.py and exchange_mcp/auth.py) is written for a specific 2FA flow (mobile push approval). If your OWA server uses a different 2FA method or no 2FA at all, you will need to modify or remove the login logic to match your environm
