Microsoft Outlook MCP Integration for Codex
Connect Microsoft Outlook to Codex through the local KosmoKrator MCP gateway with scoped tools, credentials, and write policy.
Connect Microsoft Outlook to Codex
Use KosmoKrator as a local MCP proxy for Codex so coding sessions can reach selected integrations with explicit write policy.
Register kosmo mcp:serve as a local stdio server and choose the integration allowlist. The gateway is local, scoped to this integration, and starts with
--write=deny so Codex can inspect read-capable tools without receiving write access by default.
Microsoft Outlook MCP Config for Codex
Keep write access denied or ask-based unless the workspace is trusted.
