Developer rewrites OneNote MCP server in TypeScript to fix auth issues

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A developer rewrote a Microsoft OneNote MCP server in TypeScript after encountering authentication issues with the original JavaScript version. The primary problem was the use of application-level scopes that personal Microsoft accounts cannot consent to, leading to a 401 error. The fix involved switching to resource-qualified delegated scopes. The rewrite also addressed code structure, dependency management, and introduced Zod schemas for MCP tools to improve parameter handling. AI

IMPACT Enhances integration capabilities for AI assistants like Claude and Cursor with personal productivity tools.
