How to use Microsoft Users with Claude Code
You want Microsoft Users inside Claude Code so it can map a team's reporting line, find the right manager, build a directory snapshot, and identify my place in the organization — without you copy-pasting between tabs. Here is the whole setup, once.
Create your Microsoft Users gateway
The gateway is the thing Claude Code connects to, and it is where you decide which Microsoft Users tools an agent may use. You create it once and every client reuses it.
-
Create an Arcade account
Sign up and open the dashboard. The free tier is enough to follow this through.
-
Create an MCP Gateway and select your Microsoft Users tools
In the dashboard, create a gateway and pick the Microsoft Users tools you want to expose. The gateway is what your client connects to, and it is where tool access is decided.
-
Copy your gateway URL
Every client below needs it.
https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>
Connect the gateway to Claude Code
-
Add the gateway as a remote HTTP MCP server
claude mcp add arcade --transport http "<YOUR_ARCADE_GATEWAY_URL>"
-
Verify it was added
claude mcp get arcade claude mcp list
-
Try it out
Open Claude Code in your project and ask it to use one of your Microsoft Users tools.

Protect employee profiles and reporting lines with per-user authorization. Pair it with Contextual Access policies so an agent can look up a user's manager without exposing broader directory data.
