## Prerequisites

- Node.js 18.x or higher
- Microsoft 365 tenant with admin access
- Azure AD application with required permissions:
  - Policy.ReadWrite.All
  - RoleManagement.ReadWrite.All
  - User.Read.All
  - Application.ReadWrite.All

## Installation

### Installing via Smithery

To install CISA M365 MCP Server automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/cisa-m365):

```bash
npx -y @smithery/cli install cisa-m365
```

You can also directly copy the MCP settings and definitions from [Smithery Protocol Directory](https://smithery.ai/server/cisa-m365) and add the MCP server to your Claude or LLM setup that supports MCP protocol.

1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/DynamicEndpoints/BOD-25-01-CSA-MCP.git
cd cisa-m365
```

2. Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```

3. Build the server:
```bash
npm run build
```

## Configuration

1. Create Azure AD application:
   - Navigate to Azure Portal > Azure Active Directory
   - Register a new application
   - Add required API permissions
   - Create a client secret

2. Configure environment variables:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```

Edit `.env` file:
```env
TENANT_ID=your-tenant-id
CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
```

3. Configure MCP settings:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {

}
```

## Error Handling

The server implements comprehensive error handling:

1. **Authentication Errors**
   - Token acquisition failures
   - Permission issues
   - Tenant configuration problems

2. **API Errors**
   - Graph API request failures
   - Rate limiting
   - Service unavailability

3. **Validation Errors**
   - Invalid arguments
   - Missing required parameters
   - Type mismatches

4. **Runtime Errors**
   - Network issues
   - Timeout problems
   - Resource constraints

Example error response:
```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "InvalidParams",
    "message": "Invalid role assignment arguments",
    "details": {
      "parameter": "userIds",
      "constraint": "Must have between 2 and 8 users",
      "received": "1 user"
    }
  }
}
```

## Testing

1. Run unit tests:
```bash
npm test
```

2. Run integration tests:
```bash
npm run test:integration
```

3. Run compliance tests:
```bash
npm run test:compliance
```

## Security Considerations

1. **Authentication**
   - Use secure token storage
   - Implement token rotation
   - Monitor for suspicious activity

2. **API Access**
   - Follow least privilege principle
   - Regular permission audits
   - Monitor API usage

3. **Data Protection**
   - No sensitive data logging
   - Secure configuration storage
   - Regular security scans

4. **Compliance**
   - Regular compliance checks
   - Automated policy verification
   - Audit logging
