Microsoft Teams MCP Server (Inditex) + Claude Desktop FAQ

Where is the Claude Desktop config file?

Is Microsoft Teams MCP Server (Inditex) safe to use with Claude Desktop?

Is this an official Microsoft server?

No. It is an open-source project from InditexTech (Inditex's tech org), licensed under Apache-2.0. It uses Microsoft's Bot Framework and Graph APIs but is not published by Microsoft.

What authentication does it use?
