Access and use

Built for GitHub Copilot CLI: start a session and run /plugin install with the path to a clone. Needs a Copilot plan, a Microsoft Entra tenant where you can create or use an app registration, and the .NET SDK with Kiota for the default workflow. The skills work from Microsoft's docs and the public Graph OpenAPI file. Apps they generate can ask for access to organisational Microsoft 365 data, so check each permission before you grant it. Last commit 4 August 2026. The README says MIT.

Who it is for

Developers building or slimming down C#, Python or TypeScript apps that call Microsoft Graph.
