--- title: "Microsoft Planner MCP server for AI agents - actionlake" description: "Give Claude 29 Microsoft Planner actions through one MCP server: plan tasks, group plans. Your agent never holds the credential. 100,000 calls a month free." canonical: https://actionlake.com/connectors/microsoft-planner updated: 2026-10-23 --- Connectors · Work & projects # Microsoft Planner MCP server for AI agents. actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Microsoft Planner and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 29 Microsoft Planner actions (15 reads, 11 writes and 3 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Microsoft Planner credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Microsoft Planner's limits and records every call. [Connect Microsoft Planner free](https://actionlake.com/console?start=sandbox) [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing) 100,000 free calls a month. No card, no email, no password: press Start a free sandbox on the next screen and keep the key it shows you. `claude mcp add --transport http actionlake https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp` the first call ``` do { action: "microsoft_planner.groups.list", intent: "check which Microsoft Planner account is connected" } # List Microsoft 365 groups · read · 1 upstream call ``` - 29 actions in one signed file - 15 read look, never change - 11 write create and update - 3 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first Set up ## Connect Microsoft Planner in three steps. 1. 01 ### Add actionlake to Claude. Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us. `https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp` 2. 02 ### Connect Microsoft Planner. OAuth 2.0, client credentials. Paste the app's client id and secret; actionlake fetches and renews the token, and nobody has to sign in. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key. - `client_id` Entra application (client) id - `client_secret` Entra client secret - `tenant_id` Your Microsoft Planner tenant id ``` account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "microsoft_planner" } # free: exactly what to paste, and what is found for you ``` 3. 03 ### Make the first call. Check before a write. Ask in plain words; Claude picks the action. Before anything changes, `check` validates the call and prices it, for free. ``` do { action: "microsoft_planner.groups.list" } # list microsoft 365 groups · read · 1 upstream call check { action: "microsoft_planner.tasks.create", input: { … } } # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent ``` Microsoft Planner at a glance **Sign-in** OAuth 2.0, client credentials.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 11 of Microsoft Planner's 11 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once. | Action | What it does | Effect | Same name in | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `microsoft_planner.plan_tasks.list` List tasks in a plan | Retrieve the plannerTask objects in a plan. | read | `work.task.list` 122 connectors | | `microsoft_planner.group_plans.list` List plans owned by a group | Retrieve the plannerPlan objects owned by a Microsoft 365 group. | read | `work.project.list` 109 connectors | | `microsoft_planner.tasks.create` Create a task | Create a new plannerTask in a plan, optionally in a bucket and with assignees. | write | `work.task.create` 127 connectors | | `microsoft_planner.plans.create` Create a plan | Create a new plannerPlan in a Microsoft 365 group container. | write | `work.project.create` 102 connectors | | `microsoft_planner.groups.list` List Microsoft 365 groups | List the tenant's Microsoft 365 (Unified) groups, the containers Planner plans live in.

Each one names the Microsoft Planner actions it will call, so you know what it reads and what it changes before you send it. 1. Read read Which Microsoft Planner tasks are overdue, and who owns each one? calls `microsoft_planner.plan_tasks.list` 2. Write write Create a task in Microsoft Planner. Show me exactly what you will send before you save it. calls `microsoft_planner.tasks.create` Governance for Microsoft Planner ## Destructive actions wait for a yes. 3 Microsoft Planner actions are destructive. These are all of them: - Delete a task `microsoft_planner.tasks.delete` - Delete a plan `microsoft_planner.plans.delete` - Delete a bucket `microsoft_planner.buckets.delete` A destructive action runs only with `confirm: true`. Under the `human` policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after. do microsoft_planner.tasks.delete confirm_policy: **human** Delete a task? **intent:** the user asked me to delete a task run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _microsoft-planner-agent_ cannot confirm itself In the console, or from an emailed signed link. a key for this connector ``` account { op: "keys.create", name: "microsoft-planner-agent", allowed_actions: ["microsoft_planner.*"], cap_calls: 2000, confirm_policy: "human_for_writes", approval_rules: [ { match: "microsoft_planner.tasks.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "microsoft_planner.plans.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "microsoft_planner.buckets.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" } ] } ``` Illustrative. Scoped to Microsoft Planner only, capped at 2,000 upstream calls, every write confirmed, and the destructive ones approved by a named person. Cost ## What Microsoft Planner costs on actionlake. Every Microsoft Planner action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, `check`, `cost`, `account` and any call Microsoft Planner refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000. - 1 upstream call per action all 29 Microsoft Planner actions - 29 actions page each page of a long list is one call - 15 reads can be cached a cache hit costs nothing - 100,000 calls a month, free paid plans from US$49 a month for 250,000 [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing) Action index ## Every Microsoft Planner action. 29 actions by area: the id your agent calls, what it does, and its effect. **Tasks 29** - `microsoft_planner.bucket_tasks.list` List tasks in a bucket read - `microsoft_planner.buckets.create` Create a bucket write - `microsoft_planner.buckets.delete` Delete a bucket destructive - `microsoft_planner.buckets.get` Get a bucket read - `microsoft_planner.buckets.update` Update a bucket write - `microsoft_planner.group_plans.list` List plans owned by a group read - `microsoft_planner.groups.list` List Microsoft 365 groups read - `microsoft_planner.plan_buckets.list` List buckets in a plan read - `microsoft_planner.plan_details.get` Get plan details read - `microsoft_planner.plan_details.update` Update plan details write - `microsoft_planner.plan_tasks.list` List tasks in a plan read - `microsoft_planner.plans.create` Create a plan write - `microsoft_planner.plans.delete` Delete a plan destructive - `microsoft_planner.plans.get` Get a plan read - `microsoft_planner.plans.update` Update a plan write - `microsoft_planner.task_assigned_to_board_format.get` Get a task's assigned-to board format read - `microsoft_planner.task_assigned_to_board_format.update` Update a task's assigned-to board format write - `microsoft_planner.task_bucket_board_format.get` Get a task's bucket board format read - `microsoft_planner.task_bucket_board_format.update` Update a task's bucket board format write - `microsoft_planner.task_details.get` Get task details read - `microsoft_planner.task_details.update` Update task details write - `microsoft_planner.task_progress_board_format.get` Get a task's progress board format read - `microsoft_planner.task_progress_board_format.update` Update a task's progress board format write - `microsoft_planner.tasks.create` Create a task write - `microsoft_planner.tasks.delete` Delete a task destructive - `microsoft_planner.tasks.get` Get a task read - `microsoft_planner.tasks.update` Update a task write - `microsoft_planner.user_plans.list` List plans shared with a user read - `microsoft_planner.user_tasks.list` List tasks assigned to a user read Questions ## The Microsoft Planner MCP server, answered. **Is there a Microsoft Planner MCP server for Claude?** Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 29 Microsoft Planner actions, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Microsoft Planner. **What do I need to connect Microsoft Planner?** Entra application (client) id and Entra client secret. Plus your tenant id. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "microsoft_planner" } lists exactly what to paste. **Can an AI agent delete or change things in Microsoft Planner?** Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 3 Microsoft Planner actions are destructive, including delete a task, delete a plan and delete a bucket. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it. **Will an AI agent use up my Microsoft Planner API limit?** actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Microsoft Planner service file: 10,000 calls per 10 minutes per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (15 Microsoft Planner actions can be), which never reaches Microsoft Planner. **What does a Microsoft Planner action cost?** One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (29 Microsoft Planner actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Microsoft Planner refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000. **Which Microsoft Planner API does it cover?** The Microsoft Planner API v1.0 at graph.microsoft.com/v1.0. It is built from Microsoft Planner's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 29 actions in 1 area, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0). **Does actionlake keep my Microsoft Planner data, and where?** actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to an hour, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Microsoft Planner credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models. **Which AI clients can use it?** Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names. ## More connectors like Microsoft Planner Shares the most action names with - [Clockify 11](https://actionlake.com/connectors/clockify) - [Toggl Track 11](https://actionlake.com/connectors/toggl-track) - [Fieldwire 10](https://actionlake.com/connectors/fieldwire) - [Vitally 10](https://actionlake.com/connectors/vitally) - [Todoist 10](https://actionlake.com/connectors/todoist) - [Procore 4](https://actionlake.com/connectors/procore) Joins with, on shared entities - [Odoo 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/odoo) - [Insightly CRM 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/insightly-crm) - [Filevine 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/filevine) - [Hubstaff 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/hubstaff) - [Lokalise 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/lokalise) - [HaloPSA 2](https://actionlake.com/connectors/halopsa) Browse - [All Work & projects connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/work-and-projects) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
