Outlook Contacts (Microsoft 365) MCP Pack

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1867+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

Tool	Description
outlook_list_contacts	List contacts from an Outlook / Microsoft 365 address book. Returns compact contact records (name, email addresses, phone numbers, company, job title). Supports keyword search across the contact fields. Use to browse a user's saved Outlook / Microsoft 365 contacts.
outlook_get_contact	Get the full details of a single Outlook / Microsoft 365 contact by its ID, including display name, all email addresses, business and mobile phone numbers, home address, company name, job title, and department. Use after outlook_list_contacts to read a contact from the address book in full.
outlook_search_people	Search the people most relevant to the signed-in Outlook / Microsoft 365 user — colleagues, frequent email contacts, and people in their organization — ranked by relevance. Returns matching people with name, email addresses, job title, and company. Use to find a coworker or frequent contact by name even if they are not in the saved address book.
outlook_get_profile	Get the signed-in user's Microsoft 365 / Outlook profile: display name, email address, and user principal name. Use to identify whose contacts and address book are connected.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "outlook-contacts": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/outlook-contacts/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/outlook-contacts/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1867+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

This pack runs against a connected microsoft account, so it needs a Pipeworx key: sign in at https://pipeworx.io/account, connect microsoft, then call POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/outlook_list_contacts with Authorization: Bearer <your Pipeworx key>. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/outlook_list_contacts. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Run it from npm

@pipeworx/mcp-outlook-contacts is a local stdio bridge to the Pipeworx gateway: your MCP client starts it with npx, and it forwards every call to the same https://gateway.pipeworx.io/outlook-contacts/mcp endpoint shown above. It needs network access; there is no offline mode.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "outlook-contacts": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-outlook-contacts"]
    }
  }
}

Without a key it calls anonymously, capped at 50 calls a day. A free account raises that to 200 a day: get a key at https://pipeworx.io/signup and add "env": { "PIPEWORX_API_KEY": "<your key>" } to the server entry. The key is sent as a Bearer token, the same way a hosted connection sends it, so calls are metered and billed exactly as they are there.

It lists only this pack's tools by default. Set PIPEWORX_META_TOOLS=1 to also list ask_pipeworx and the other gateway-wide tools.

Behind an HTTPS proxy: Node's built-in fetch does not read HTTPS_PROXY by default. Newer Node releases honour it when NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1 is set; check your Node version's documentation.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Outlook Contacts data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
