Work IQ Skill

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 .

1. Accept EULA (Required First)

npx @microsoft/workiq accept-eula

2. Configure MCP

Add to your project's .mcp.json :

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

3. Authenticate

First query triggers M365 authentication - a browser window opens for sign-in.

"What meetings do I have tomorrow?" "Find emails from Sarah about the budget" "Show Teams messages about the deployment"
