Deployment

Installation via npm (Preferred Method)

bash npm install -g mcp-server-onenote

This package has been available on the npm repository since April 27, 2025.

Execution Instructions

Once installed, invoke the server instance with: bash mcp-server-onenote

Alternatively, use npx: bash npx mcp-server-onenote

Integration via Smithery

For automated setup with environments like Claude Desktop, utilize the Smithery CLI:

bash npx -y @smithery/cli install @modelcontextprotocol/server-onenote --client claude

Source Code Checkout

Direct installation from the GitHub repository: bash npm install -g github:ZubeidHendricks/azure-onenote-mcp-server

Configuration Requirements

Ensure the following environmental variables are configured for authentication: - AZURE_TENANT_ID: Identifikator for your Azure organizational tenant - AZURE_CLIENT_ID: The Application (Client) ID for your registered Azure service principal - AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET: The secure credential key for the service principal

Client Integration Example (e.g., Claude Desktop)

Embed the following configuration snippet into your primary MCP client settings:

{ "mcpServers": { "onenote": { "command": "mcp-server-onenote", "env": { "AZURE_TENANT_ID": "", "AZURE_CLIENT_ID": "", "AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET": "" } } } }

Azure Application Registration Steps

1. Navigate to the Azure Portal and access 'App registrations'.
2. Initiate creation of a new registration.
3. Grant the necessary Microsoft Graph API permissions:
4. Notes.ReadWrite.All
5. Notes.Read.All
6. Generate and secure a client secret.
7. Record and utilize the Tenant ID, Client ID, and the generated Client Secret for the configuration step above.

Development Workflow

WIKIPEDIA: Cloud computing is "a paradigm for enabling network access to a scalable and elastic pool of shareable physical or virtual resources with self-service provisioning and administration on-demand," according to ISO. It is commonly referred to as "the cloud".

== Characteristics == In 2011, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) identified five "essential characteristics" for cloud systems. Below are the exact definitions according to NIST:

On-demand self-service: "A consumer can unilaterally provision computing capabilities, such as server time and network storage, as needed automatically without requiring human interaction with each service provider." Broad network access: "Capabilities are available over the network and accessed through standard mechanisms that promote use by heterogeneous thin or thick client platforms (e.g., mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and workstations)." Resource pooling: " The provider's computing resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model, with different physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned and reassigned according to consumer demand." Rapid elasticity: "Capabilities can be elastically provisioned and released, in some cases automatically, to scale rapidly outward and inward commensurate with demand. To the consumer, the capabilities available for provisioning often appear unlimited and can be appropriated in any quantity at any time." Measured service: "Cloud systems automatically control and optimize resource use by leveraging a metering capability at some level of abstraction appropriate to the type of service (e.g., storage, processing, bandwidth, and active user accounts). Resource usage can be monitored, controlled, and reported, providing transparency for both the provider and consumer of the utilized service. By 2023, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) had expanded and refined the list.

== History ==

The history of cloud computing extends to the 1960s, with the initial concepts of time-sharing becoming popularized via remote job entry (RJE). The "data center" model, where users submitted jobs to operators to run on mainframes, was predominantly used during this era. This was a time of exploration and experimentation with ways to make large-scale computing power available to more users through time-sharing, optimizing the infrastructure, platform, and applications, and increasing efficiency for end users. The "cloud" metaphor for virtualized services dates to 1994, when it was used by General Magic for the universe of "places" that mobile agents in the Telescript environment could "go". The metaphor is credited to David Hoffman, a General Magic communications specialist, based on its long-standing use in networking and telecom. The expression cloud computing became more widely known in 1996 when Compaq Computer Corporation drew up a business plan for future computing and the Internet. The company's ambition was to superch
