This guide shows you how to configure the Microsoft Teams connector for WRITER Agent. After setting up this connector, WRITER Agent can perform operations like accessing teams, channels, messages, and collaboration settings.

​
Set up the Microsoft Teams connector

Configure the Microsoft Teams connector in AI Studio under Connectors & Tools. The Microsoft Teams connector supports two authentication options:
  • WRITER-managed OAuth (recommended): Writer provides the OAuth application. No setup required - just authorize access to your Microsoft Teams.
  • Organization-managed OAuth: Create your own Microsoft OAuth application for custom branding and control.
Most users should choose WRITER-managed OAuth for faster setup. Only use organization-managed OAuth if you need custom branding or have specific security requirements.

​
Create a Microsoft OAuth application (organization-managed only)

If you choose to create a self-managed OAuth application to connect, first create a new Microsoft OAuth application in Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD):
  1. Navigate to the Microsoft Entra admin center
  2. Go to Applications > App registrations
  3. Create a new registration
  4. Configure authentication with Web platform
  5. Add the Writer redirect URI to Redirect URIs: 
    https://app.writer.com/mcp/oauth/callback
  6. Add API permissions for the required Microsoft Graph scopes
  7. Create a client secret in Certificates & secrets
  8. Copy the application (client) ID and client secret
For detailed instructions, see Microsoft’s OAuth 2.0 documentation.
