Documentation

EntraID MCP Server (Microsoft Graph FastMCP)

This project provides a modular, resource-oriented FastMCP server for interacting with Microsoft Graph API. It is designed for extensibility, maintainability, and security, supporting advanced queries for users, sign-in logs, MFA status, and privileged users.

Features

  • Modular Resource Structure:
    • Each resource (users, sign-in logs, MFA, etc.) is implemented in its own module under `src/msgraph_mcp_server/resources/`.
    • Easy to extend with new resources (e.g., groups, devices).
  • Centralized Graph Client:
    • Handles authentication and client initialization.
    • Shared by all resource modules.
  • Comprehensive User Operations:
    • Search users by name/email.
    • Get user by ID.
    • List all privileged users (directory role members).
  • Full Group Lifecycle & Membership Management:
    • Create, read, update, and delete groups.
    • Add/remove group members and owners.
    • Search and list groups and group members.
  • Application & Service Principal Management:
    • List, create, update, and delete applications (app registrations).
    • List, create, update, and delete service principals.
    • View app role assignments and delegated permissions for both applications and service principals.
  • Sign-in Log Operations:
    • Query sign-in logs for a user for the last X days.
  • MFA Operations:
    • Get MFA status for a user.
    • Get MFA status for all members of a group.
  • Password Management:
    • Reset user passwords directly with custom or auto-generated secure passwords.
    • Option to require password change on next sign-in.
  • Permissions Helper:
    • Suggest appropriate Microsoft Graph permissions for common tasks.
    • Search and explore available Graph permissions.
    • Helps implement the principle of least privilege by recommending only necessary permissions.
  • Error Handling & Logging:
    • Consistent error handling and progress reporting via FastMCP context.
    • Detailed logging for troubleshooting.
  • Security:
    • `.env` and secret files are excluded from version control.
    • Uses Microsoft best practices for authentication.

Usage

1. Setup

  • Clone the repo.
  • Create a `config/.env` file with your Azure AD credentials:
code
TENANT_ID=your-tenant-id
  CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
  CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
  • (Optional) Set up certificate-based auth if needed.

2. Testing & Development

You can test and develop your MCP server directly using the FastMCP CLI:

bash
fastmcp dev '/path/to/src/msgraph_mcp_server/server.py'

This launches an interactive development environment with the MCP Inspector. For more information and advanced usage, see the FastMCP documentation.

Extending the Server

  • Add new resource modules under `resources/` (e.g., `groups.py`, `devices.py`).
  • Register new tools in `server.py` using the FastMCP `@mcp.tool()` decorator.
  • Use the shared `GraphClient` for all API calls.

Security & Best Practices

  • Never commit secrets: `.env` and other sensitive files are gitignored.
  • Use least privilege: Grant only the necessary Microsoft Graph permissions to your Azure AD app.
  • Audit & monitor: Use the logging output for troubleshooting and monitoring.

Required Graph API Permissions

API / PermissionTypeDescription
AuditLog.Read.AllApplicationRead all audit log data
AuthenticationContext.Read.AllApplicationRead all authentication context information
DeviceManagementManagedDevices.Read.AllApplicationRead Microsoft Intune devices
Directory.Read.AllApplicationRead directory data
Group.Read.AllApplicationRead all groups
GroupMember.Read.AllApplicationRead all group memberships
Group.ReadWrite.AllApplicationCreate, update, delete groups; manage group members and owners
Policy.Read.AllApplicationRead your organization's policies
RoleManagement.Read.DirectoryApplicationRead all directory RBAC settings
User.Read.AllApplicationRead all users' full profiles
User-PasswordProfile.ReadWrite.AllApplicationLeast privileged permission to update the passwordProfile property
UserAuthenticationMethod.Read.AllApplicationRead all users' authentication methods
Application.ReadWrite.AllApplicationCreate, update, and delete applications (app registrations) and service principals

Note: `Group.ReadWrite.All` is required for group creation, update, deletion, and for adding/removing group members or owners. `Group.Read.All` and `GroupMember.Read.All` are sufficient for read-only group and membership queries.

Advanced: Using with Claude or Cursor

Using with Claude (Anthropic)

To install and run this server as a Claude MCP tool, use:

bash
fastmcp install '/path/to/src/msgraph_mcp_server/server.py' \
  --with msgraph-sdk --with azure-identity --with azure-core --with msgraph-core \
  -f /path/to/.env
  • Replace `/path/to/` with your actual project path.
  • The `-f` flag points to your `.env` file (never commit secrets!).

Using with Cursor

Add the following to your `.cursor/mcp.json` (do not include actual secrets in version control):

json
{
  "EntraID MCP Server": {
    "command": "uv",
    "args": [
      "run",
      "--with", "azure-core",
      "--with", "azure-identity",
      "--with", "fastmcp",
      "--with", "msgraph-core",
      "--with", "msgraph-sdk",
      "fastmcp",
      "run",
      "/path/to/src/msgraph_mcp_server/server.py"
    ],
    "env": {
      "TENANT_ID": "",
      "CLIENT_ID": "",
      "CLIENT_SECRET": ""
    }
  }
}
  • Replace `/path/to/` and the environment variables with your actual values.
  • Never commit real secrets to your repository!
