# Connect Outlook to your AI agent

> Yes — ClawLink is a hosted Outlook MCP server. 270 tools your agent can call from chat, with one-click hosted OAuth and nothing to run locally.

Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hub/outlook

ClawLink hosts a managed Outlook MCP server that exposes 270 tools to your AI agent. You connect Outlook in one click, and your agent can read, create, and update Outlook data from chat without you building or running a local MCP server.

## Quick facts

- 270 tools callable from chat
- One-click hosted OAuth
- Works with OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any MCP client
- No local server or config files

## Overview

The usual path is: build auth, handle token refresh, wire up the tools. With ClawLink you connect Outlook once and start using the real actions from the agent.

## Setup

Outlook uses OAuth. You connect it in the browser: click Connect, sign in, approve. ClawLink stores the token and refreshes it on its own. You never touch a key or wire up a redirect URL.

Authentication: hosted OAuth

## What you can do

- **Work across the Microsoft stack from chat** — Read, create, and update Outlook items without opening the app first.
- **Collaborate faster** — The agent pulls Outlook context like files, chats, or meetings into the conversation.
- **Cut the routine admin** — Status updates, scheduling, and record edits in Outlook stop interrupting your flow.

## ClawLink vs. building it yourself

| | Manual | ClawLink |
|---|---|---|
| Connection | Build it yourself. You register a developer app with Outlook, set up redirect URLs, handle the consent screen, store and refresh access tokens, and redo the wiring when scopes change. | Hosted hosted OAuth. Connect once in the browser. ClawLink owns the lifecycle. |
| Maintenance | Token refresh, permission debugging, env config, every edge case. All yours. | ClawLink handles the plumbing. You focus on the workflow. |
| Time to first call | Days to weeks. Auth, storage, tool wiring, testing. Then the agent can act. | About two minutes from sign-up to the agent calling Outlook. |

## FAQ

### How do I connect Outlook to my AI agent?

Install ClawLink, open the dashboard, click Connect next to Outlook, and finish the hosted OAuth flow. Your agent can call Outlook from the next message. Two minutes, total.

### Is there a Outlook MCP server I can use?

Yes. ClawLink exposes Outlook as 270 tools your agent calls through a hosted MCP-compatible runtime. You don't run a local server or edit a config file. The tools are there the moment you connect.

### Do I need Outlook API credentials?

No separate API key. You sign in to Outlook through the normal OAuth flow and ClawLink handles the token after that.

### How much does it cost?

Your first integration is free, plus a 7-day trial of the full catalog. Paid plans unlock the rest of the library.

### Can I set this up from the terminal instead of the dashboard?

Yes. Run npx -y @useclawlink/cli login, then npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect outlook. The first opens a browser to sign in to ClawLink. The second opens a browser to authorize Outlook. No API keys to create. Works with OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any agent that runs shell commands.
