Microsoft 365 Galleries MCP Servers

MCP Servers for the Microsoft 365 & Power Platform Community Samples Gallery.

Overview

This repository contains two implementations of the same Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server that provides access to the Microsoft 365 & Power Platform Community Samples Gallery.

Both projects expose identical functionality but use different communication protocols:

Projects

1. SampleGalleriesMCPServerStdio

• Protocol: STDIO (Standard Input/Output)
• Use Case: Ideal for local development and integration with tools that support STDIO-based MCP servers
• Communication: Uses standard input/output streams for message exchange

2. SampleGalleriesMCPServerHttp

• Protocol: HTTP Streaming
• Use Case: Perfect for web-based applications and services that require HTTP-based communication
• Communication: Uses HTTP streaming for real-time message exchange

Functionality

Both MCP servers provide the same core functionality through the following tools:

Available MCP Tools

1. SamplesByProduct

Retrieves samples filtered by a specific Microsoft 365 or Power Platform product.

Input Arguments:

• product (string, required): The product identifier to filter samples (e.g., “SharePoint”, “Teams”, “Power Apps”)
• pageIndex (int, required): The page number for pagination (starting from 1)
• pageSize (int, required): Number of samples to return per page

2. SamplesByAuthor

Retrieves samples created by a specific author.

Input Arguments:

• author (string, required): The author identifier to filter samples
• pageIndex (int, required): The page number for pagination (starting from 1)
• pageSize (int, required): Number of samples to return per page

3. SamplesByKeyword

Searches for samples using keyword-based text search.

Input Arguments:

• keyword (string, required): The search keyword or phrase to find in sample titles, descriptions, or metadata
• pageIndex (int, required): The page number for pagination (starting from 1)
• pageSize (int, required): Number of samples to return per page

4. SearchSamples

Performs advanced search with comprehensive filtering, sorting, and pagination options.

Input Arguments:

• search (SearchSamples object, required): Complex search parameters including:
  • Filter (optional): Advanced filtering options
    • Search (string): Text to search across all sample content
    • ProductId (string array): Array of product identifiers to filter by
    • AuthorId (string): Specific author identifier
    • CategoryId (string): Category identifier for filtering
    • FeaturedOnly (boolean): Return only featured samples
    • Metadata (array): Additional metadata-based filters with key-value pairs
  • Sort (optional): Sorting configuration
    • Field (enum): Sort by Title, CreationDateTime, or UpdateDateTime
    • Descending (boolean): Sort in descending order if true
  • Pagination (optional): Pagination settings
    • Index (int): Page number (starting from 1)
    • Size (int): Number of items per page (default: 20)

Sample Data Structure

Each sample returned contains comprehensive information including:

• Sample ID, name, version, and title
• Short description and source information
• Download URL and sample URL
• Associated products and categories
• Author information and creation/update timestamps
• Thumbnails and preview images
• Metadata tags and references
• Featured status and tracking information

Getting Started

Choose the implementation that best fits your integration needs:

• Use SampleGalleriesMCPServerStdio for command-line tools and local development
• Use SampleGalleriesMCPServerHttp for web applications and HTTP-based integrations

Both servers connect to the same Microsoft 365 & Power Platform Community Samples Gallery API and provide identical data and functionality.
