add-teams
The add-teams skill integrates Microsoft Teams channel support into NanoClaw by copying the Teams adapter from a separate branch, installing required dependencies, and configuring credential registration. Use this skill when deploying NanoClaw to enable interactive chat functionality within Microsoft Teams channels, group chats, and direct messages.

# Add Microsoft Teams Channel
Connect NanoClaw to Microsoft Teams for interactive chat in team channels, group chats, and direct messages.
## Install
NanoClaw doesn't ship channels in trunk. This skill copies the Teams adapter in from the `channels` branch.
### Pre-flight (idempotent)
Skip to **Credentials** if all of these are already in place:
- `src/channels/teams.ts` exists
- `src/channels/teams-registration.test.ts` exists
- `src/channels/index.ts` contains `import './teams.js';`
- `@chat-adapter/teams` is listed in `package.json` dependencies
Otherwise continue. Every step below is safe to re-run.
### 1. Fetch the channels branch
```bash
git fetch origin channels
```
### 2. Copy the adapter and its registration test
```bash
git show origin/channels:src/channels/teams.ts > src/channels/teams.ts
git show origin/channels:src/channels/teams-registration.test.ts > src/channels/teams-registration.test.ts
```
### 3. Append the self-registration import
Append to `src/channels/index.ts` (skip if the line is already present):
```typescript
import './teams.js';
```
### 4. Install the adapter package (pinned)
```bash
pnpm install @chat-adapter/teams@4.27.0
```
### 5. Build and validate
```bash
pnpm run build
pnpm exec vitest run src/channels/teams-registration.test.ts
```
Both must be clean before proceeding. `teams-registration.test.ts` is the one integration test: it imports the real channel barrel and asserts the registry contains `teams`. It goes red if the `import './teams.js';` line is deleted or drifts, if the barrel fails to evaluate, or if `@chat-adapter/teams` isn't installed (the import throws) — so it also implicitly verifies the dependency from step 4. The adapter also calls core's `createChatSdkBridge(...)`; that typed core-API consumption is guarded by `pnpm run build`.
End-to-end message delivery against a real Teams workspace is verified manually once the service is running — see Next Steps and the webhook setup above.
## Credentials
Two paths — manual (Azure Portal) or auto (Teams CLI).
### Auto: Teams CLI
Requires Node.js 18+, a Microsoft 365 account with sideloading permissions, and a public HTTPS endpoint (ngrok, Cloudflare Tunnel, or similar).
1. Install the CLI:
```bash
npm install -g @microsoft/teams.cli@preview
```
2. Sign in and verify:
```bash
teams login
teams status
```
3. Create the Entra app, client secret, and bot registration:
```bash
teams app create \
--name "NanoClaw" \
--endpoint "https://your-domain/api/webhooks/teams"
```
The CLI prints the credentials as `CLIENT_ID`, `CLIENT_SECRET`, and `TENANT_ID`. Map them to NanoClaw's env keys:
- `CLIENT_ID` → `TEAMS_APP_ID`
- `CLIENT_SECRET` → `TEAMS_APP_PASSWORD`
- `TENANT_ID` → `TEAMS_APP_TENANT_ID`
4. Pick **Install in Teams** from the post-create menu and confirm in the Teams dialog.
Continue to [Configure environment](#configure-environment).

The steps below describe the **manual Azure Portal path**.
### Step 1: Create an Azure AD App Registration
1. Go to [Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com) > **App registrations** > **New registration**
2. Name it (e.g., "NanoClaw")
3. Supported account types: **Single tenant** (your org only) or **Multi tenant** (any org)
4. Click **Register**
5. Copy the **Application (client) ID** and **Directory (tenant) ID** from the Overview page
### Step 2: Create a Client Secret
1. In the App Registration, go to **Certificates & secrets**
2. Click **New client secret**, description "nanoclaw", expiry 180 days
3. Click **Add** and **copy the Value immediately** (shown only once)
### Step 3: Create an Azure Bot
1. Go to Azure Portal > search **Azure Bot** > **Create**
2. Fill in:
- **Bot handle**: unique name (e.g., "nanoclaw-bot")
- **Type of App**: match your app registration (Single or Multi Tenant)
- **Creation type**: **Use existing app registration**
- **App ID**: paste from Step 1
- **App tenant ID**: paste from Step 1 (Single Tenant only)
3. Click **Review + create** > **Create**
Or use Azure CLI:
```bash
az group create --name nanoclaw-rg --location eastus
az bot create \
--resource-group nanoclaw-rg \
--name nanoclaw-bot \
--app-type SingleTenant \
--appid YOUR_APP_ID \
--tenant-id YOUR_TENANT_ID \
--endpoint "https://your-domain/api/webhooks/teams"
```
### Step 4: Configure Messaging Endpoint
1. Go to your Azure Bot resource > **Configuration**
2. Set **Messaging endpoint** to `https://your-domain/api/webhooks/teams`
3. Click **Apply**
### Step 5: Enable Teams Channel
1. In the Azure Bot resource, go to **Channels**
2. Click **Microsoft Teams** > Accept terms > **Apply**
Or via CLI:
```bash
az bot msteams create --resource-group nanoclaw-rg --name nanoclaw-bot
```
### Step 6: Create and Sideload Teams App
Create a `manifest.json`:
```json
{
"$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/json-schemas/teams/v1.16/MicrosoftTeams.schema.json",
"manifestVersion": "1.16",
"version": "1.0.0",
"id": "YOUR_APP_ID",
"packageName": "com.nanoclaw.bot",
"developer": {
"name": "NanoClaw",
"websiteUrl": "https://your-domain",
"privacyUrl": "https://your-domain",
"termsOfUseUrl": "https://your-domain"
},
"name": { "short": "NanoClaw", "full": "NanoClaw Assistant" },
"description": {
"short": "NanoClaw assistant bot",
"full": "NanoClaw personal assistant powered by Claude."
},
"icons": { "outline": "outline.png", "color": "color.png" },
"accentColor": "#4A90D9",
"bots": [{
"botId": "YOUR_APP_ID",
"scopes": ["personal", "team", "groupchat"],
"supportsFiles": false,
"isNotificationOnly": false
}],
"permissions": ["identity", "messageTeamMembers"],
"validDomains": ["your-domain"]
}
```
Create two icon PNGs (32x32 `outline.png`, 192x192 `color.png`), zip all three files together.
**Sideload in Teams:**
1. Open Teams > **Apps** > **Manage your apps**
2. Click **UploaAdd Atomic Chat MCP server so the container agent can call local models served by the Atomic Chat desktop app via its OpenAI-compatible API.
Use Codex (CLI + AppServer) as the full agent provider — planning, tool orchestration, native compaction, MCP tools, session resume — in place of the Claude Agent SDK. ChatGPT subscription or OPENAI_API_KEY. Per-group via agent_provider. Distinct from using OpenAI as an MCP tool (where Claude remains the planner).
Add a monitoring dashboard to NanoClaw. Installs @nanoco/nanoclaw-dashboard and a pusher that sends periodic JSON snapshots.
Add DeltaChat channel integration via @deltachat/stdio-rpc-server. Native adapter — no Chat SDK bridge. Email-based messaging with end-to-end encryption.
Add Discord bot channel integration via Chat SDK.
Add Emacs as a channel. Opens an interactive chat buffer and org-mode integration so you can talk to NanoClaw from within Emacs (Doom, Spacemacs, or vanilla). Local HTTP bridge — no bot token or external service needed.
Add Google Calendar as an MCP tool (list calendars, list/search/create events, free/busy queries) using OneCLI-managed OAuth. Multi-calendar and multi-account supported. Mirrors /add-gmail-tool's stub pattern — no raw credentials ever reach the container; OneCLI injects real tokens at request time.
Add Google Chat channel integration via Chat SDK.
