claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Microsoft 365 MCP connector shows 'Needs Auth' in VS Code despite being connected in desktop app [1 participants]

TL;DR

The Microsoft 365 connector in the VS Code extension may require a specific authentication token or callback configuration to show as Connected.

Guidance

• Verify that the redirect_uri parameter in the Microsoft 365 auth flow is correctly configured to match the expected callback URL in the VS Code extension.
• Check if the authentication token obtained during the OAuth flow is being properly stored and passed to the VS Code extension.
• Investigate potential differences in authentication handling between the Claude desktop app and the VS Code extension.
• Review the documentation for the Claude Code extension and Microsoft 365 connector to ensure that all required configuration steps have been completed.

Example

No code snippet is provided due to lack of specific implementation details.

Notes

The issue may be related to the specific authentication flow used by the Microsoft 365 connector, which could be different from other connectors. Further investigation is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Investigate and adjust the authentication token storage and callback configuration to ensure compatibility with the VS Code extension, as the issue appears to be specific to this environment.
