Setup Detection Protocol

1. 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" →
