Microsoft Teams MCP Server (Inditex) + Windsurf FAQ

Where is the Windsurf config file?

Windsurf reads MCP servers from ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json. Paste the Microsoft Teams MCP Server (Inditex) config there under the "mcpServers" key and restart the client.

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

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?

It authenticates as an Azure Bot via an MS Entra ID app registration — you supply the app's client ID and secret. There is no per-user OAuth flow; the bot acts within the team it has been added to.

Can it post to any channel?

No. It is scoped to a single team and channel set via TEAM_ID and TEAMS_CHANNEL_ID. To target a different channel you change those environment variables.
