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.

1. Setup
- Clone the repo.
- Create a `config/.env` file with your Azure AD credentials:
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:
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 / Permission | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| AuditLog.Read.All | Application | Read all audit log data |
| AuthenticationContext.Read.All | Application | Read all authentication context information |
| DeviceManagementManagedDevices.Read.All | Application | Read Microsoft Intune devices |
| Directory.Read.All | Application | Read directory data |
| Group.Read.All | Application | Read all groups |
| GroupMember.Read.All | Application | Read all group memberships |
| Group.ReadWrite.All | Application | Create, update, delete groups; manage group members and owners |
| Policy.Read.All | Application | Read your organization's policies |
| RoleManagement.Read.Directory | Application | Read all directory RBAC settings |
| User.Read.All | Application | Read all users' full profiles |

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:
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):
{
"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.
