Microsoft Teams Apps Framework

High-level framework for building Microsoft Teams applications. Handles activity routing, authentication, and provides Microsoft Graph integration.

Features

  • Activity Routing: Decorator-based routing for different activity types
  • OAuth Integration: Built-in OAuth flow handling for user authentication
  • Microsoft Graph Integration: Type-safe Graph client access via user_graph and app_graph properties
  • Plugin System: Extensible plugin architecture for adding functionality

Basic Usage

from microsoft_teams.apps import App, ActivityContext
from microsoft_teams.api import MessageActivity

app = App()

@app.on_message
async def handle_message(ctx: ActivityContext[MessageActivity]):
    await ctx.send(f"You said: {ctx.activity.text}")

# Start the app
await app.start()

Unauthenticated Requests

For local development only, JWT validation can be disabled explicitly:

app = App(dangerously_allow_unauthenticated_requests=True)

It can also be enabled with the DANGEROUSLY_ALLOW_UNAUTHENTICATED_REQUESTS=true environment variable. The previous skip_auth option is deprecated and remains supported for compatibility.

OAuth and Graph Integration

@app.on_message
async def handle_message(ctx: ActivityContext[MessageActivity]):
    if ctx.is_signed_in:
        try:
            # Access user's Graph data
            me = await ctx.user_graph.me.get()
            await ctx.send(f"Hello {me.display_name}!")
        except (ValueError, RuntimeError, ImportError) as e:
            await ctx.send(f"Graph access failed: {e}")
    else:
        # Prompt user to sign in
        await ctx.sign_in()

Optional Graph Dependencies

Microsoft Graph functionality requires additional dependencies:

pip install microsoft-teams-apps[graph]

Or if using uv:

uv add microsoft-teams-apps[graph]

If Graph dependencies are not installed, user_graph and app_graph will raise an ImportError when accessed. If the user is not signed in or tokens are unavailable, they will raise ValueError.
