What is Dynamics365

Dynamics 365 MCP Server ๐Ÿš€

Node.js TypeScript MCP License

Overview

The Microsoft Dynamics 365 MCP Server is a MCP server that provides tools to interact with Microsoft Dynamics 365 using the Model Context Protocol(MCP) by Anthorpic. It allows users to perform various operations such as retrieving user information, accounts, opportunities associated with an account, create and update accounts from Claude Desktop.

This project uses the @modelcontextprotocol/sdk library to implement the MCP server and tools, and it integrates with Dynamics 365 APIs for data operations.


List of Tools ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

Tool Name Description Input Output
get-user-info Fetches information about the currently authenticated user. None User details including name, user ID, and business unit ID.
fetch-accounts Fetches all accounts from Dynamics 365. None List of accounts in JSON format.
get-associated-opportunities Fetches opportunities associated with a given account. accountId (string, required) List of opportunities in JSON format.
create-account Creates a new account in Dynamics 365. accountData (object, required) containing account details. Details of the created account in JSON format.
update-account Updates an existing account in Dynamics 365. accountId (string, required), accountData (object, required) containing updated details. Details of the updated account in JSON format.

Prerequisites ๐Ÿ“

Before setting up the project, ensure you have the following installed:

  • Node.js (v16 or higher)
  • NPM (Node Package Manager)
  • A Dynamics 365 instance with API access
  • Azure Active Directory (AAD) application configured for Dynamics 365 API access

Configuration Steps โš™๏ธ

Follow these steps to set up and run the project locally:

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/your-repo/dynamics365-mcp-server.git
cd dynamics365-mcp-server

2. Install Dependencies

npm install

3. Configure Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the root of the project and add the following variables:

CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
TENANT_ID=your-tenant-id
D365_URL=https://your-org.crm.dynamics.com

4. Compile TypeScript Files

npm run build

4. Run MCP Server

node build\index.js

You should see the following output:

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications, providing a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.

What are MCP Servers?

MCP Servers are lightweight programs that expose specific capabilities through the standardized Model Context Protocol. They act as bridges between LLMs like Claude and various data sources or services, allowing secure access to files, databases, APIs, and other resources.

How do MCP Servers work?

MCP Servers follow a client-server architecture where a host application (like Claude Desktop) connects to multiple servers. Each server provides specific functionality through standardized endpoints and protocols, enabling Claude to access data and perform actions through the standardized protocol.

Are MCP Servers secure?

Yes, MCP Servers are designed with security in mind. They run locally with explicit configuration and permissions, require user approval for actions, and include built-in security features to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data privacy.
