Query your Microsoft 365 workspace using natural language. Search emails, meetings, Teams messages, and documents without leaving your development environment.
Quick Start
0. Enable MCP Server (Required First)
The workiq MCP server is disabled by default. Enable it before use:
/mcp-manager
Select the workiq server and enable it, or manually set "disabled": false in .mcp.json.

npx @microsoft/workiq accept-eula
2. Configure MCP

"mcpServers": {
"workiq": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@microsoft/workiq", "mcp"]
}
}
