MCP Server and CLI for accessing Work IQ

What it solves

It bridges the gap between AI assistants (like GitHub Copilot) and private Microsoft 365 organizational data. It allows users to query their emails, calendar, documents, and Teams messages using natural language without manually searching through different M365 apps.

How it works

Work IQ provides a collection of plugins and MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. These act as connectors that allow an AI agent to securely access M365 tenant data. Users can install these plugins via the GitHub Copilot CLI or run them as standalone MCP servers in supported IDEs (like VS Code) or other coding agents.

Who it’s for

  • Knowledge workers who want to use AI to summarize emails, find documents, or check their schedules.
  • Developers building M365 Copilot declarative agents using the provided toolkit.
  • Tenant Administrators who manage the permissions required for AI tools to access organizational data.

Highlights

  • M365 Integration: Direct access to emails, meetings, documents, Teams messages, and people data.
  • MCP Support: Compatible with the Model Context Protocol for easy integration into various AI-powered IDEs and agents.
  • Plugin Marketplace: Includes specialized plugins for general querying, productivity insights, and an agent-building toolkit.
  • Cross-Platform: Supported on Windows, Linux, and macOS (both x64 and ARM64).

    Power Platform Skills is a Microsoft‑maintained plugin marketplace that adds AI‑driven “skills” for GitHub Copilot CLI and Claude Code. The plugins let an LLM agent create, edit, and deploy Power Platform artefacts—Power Pages sites, model‑driven apps, Canvas apps, Power Automate flows, process‑mining analytics, and more—by invoking the Power Platform CLI, Node scripts, or MCP servers. Install via a one‑line script, then use natural‑language commands like `/app-builder` or `/analytics` to have the agent generate tables, forms, code apps, mobile apps, or run analytics. The repo includes auto‑update, permission‑control guides, telemetry opt‑out, and full development instructions. It is a genuine AI‑enabled tooling project for Power Platform development.
