Setup Detection Protocol

Call list_connected_integrations.
- Tool not available → MCP not connected. Present these steps inline to the user:
  1. Sign in at rarefriend.com → Settings → Integrations → MCP → copy the Client ID and Client Secret
  2. Claude Code / Codex: run claude mcp add rarefriend -e RAREFRIEND_CLIENT_ID=your_id -e RAREFRIEND_CLIENT_SECRET=your_secret -- npx -y @rarefriend-ai/mcp
  3. Cursor: add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json under mcpServers.rarefriend with command: npx, args: ["-y", "@rarefriend-ai/mcp"], and the two env vars
  4. Claude Desktop: add the same block to claude_desktop_config.json
  5. Restart the client, then try again
- microsoft_email not in the list → offer to connect: connect_integration("microsoft_email").
- microsoft_email present → proceed directly.

Core Workflows

List recent emails

list_microsoft_emails(limit?, startDate?, endDate?, folderId?)
  limit:     number of emails to return (default 10, max 50)
  startDate: ISO 8601 — only emails after this date
  endDate:   ISO 8601 — only emails before this date
  folderId:  specific folder (default: inbox)

"Show my last 10 emails" → list_microsoft_emails(limit=10)
"What emails did I get this week?" → list_microsoft_emails(startDate="2026-06-02")
"Check emails from yesterday" → list_microsoft_emails(startDate="2026-06-05", endDate="2026-06-06")

Search emails

search_microsoft_emails(query*, limit?, startDate?, endDate?)
  query: matches subject, body snippet, sender name, or sender email

"Find emails from Alice" → search_microsoft_emails("Alice")
"Search for emails about the contract" → search_microsoft_emails("contract")
"Find emails from john@acme.com" → search_microsoft_emails("john@acme.com")

Cross-reference with contacts

After finding an email, look up the sender in Rarefriend:

search_contacts("sender name or email", searchMode="exact")
→ get_contact(contactId)     — full CRM profile
→ list_notes(contactId)      — past notes about this person
→ create_note(contactId, ...) — log context from the email thread

Pattern — "What's the history with this person?"

search_microsoft_emails("person name") → find relevant threads
search_contacts("person name", searchMode="exact") → find them in CRM
list_notes(contactId) → review relationship notes
Summarise email history + CRM notes together

Connect Microsoft Email

connect_integration("microsoft_email")

Returns a connectUrl. Present as a clickable link:

"Open this link in your browser to connect Microsoft Outlook email. It expires in 15 minutes."

After connecting:

get_integration_sync_status("microsoft_email")
