Contact Creator

Contact Creator

Purpose

This skill enables creating Outlook contacts from freeform text input (business cards, email signatures, address blocks). It extracts contact information, structures it according to Microsoft 365 API requirements, and creates contacts that automatically sync to the user's mobile devices.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• User provides contact information in freeform text
• User asks to "create a contact" or "add to contacts"
• User provides business card information
• User wants contact information saved to Outlook

Workflow

Step 1: Verify MS365 Login

Before creating contacts, verify the user is logged into Microsoft 365:

mcp__ms365__login

If already logged in, the response will indicate success with user details.

Step 2: Extract Contact Information

Parse the freeform text to extract:

Required fields:

• displayName - Full name (e.g., "Dr. Mathias Bach")
• emailAddresses - Array of email objects with name and address

Common optional fields:

• givenName - First name
• surname - Last name
• title - Title (e.g., "Dr.", "Prof.")
• jobTitle - Position (e.g., "Leiter Forschung & Entwicklung")
• companyName - Company name
• businessPhones - Array of phone numbers
• businessAddress - Object with street, city, postalCode, countryOrRegion
• businessHomePage - Website URL

Field mapping guidelines:

• Extract titles (Dr., Prof., etc.) to both title and include in displayName
• Mobile numbers go in businessPhones array (MS365 API doesn't always expose separate mobile field)
• Format addresses as objects with separate street, city, postal code, country
• Include website without protocol (e.g., "www.example.com")

Refer to references/​contact_fields.md for complete field specifications.

Step 3: Create Contact

Call the MS365 API to create the contact:

mcp__ms365__create-outlook-contact

Pass the structured contact data as JSON in the body parameter.

Step 4: Confirm Creation

Display a confirmation to the user with:

• Contact name
• Key details (position, company, phone, email)
• Note about mobile sync

Example confirmation:

✅ Dr. Mathias Bach wurde zu Ihren Outlook-Kontakten hinzugefügt

Gespeicherte Daten:
- Name: Dr. Mathias Bach
- Position: Leiter Forschung & Entwicklung
- Firma: Herrmann Ultraschalltechnik GmbH & Co. KG
- Telefon: +49 175 2043181
- E-Mail: [email protected]
- Adresse: Descostr. 3-11, 76307 Karlsbad, Germany

Der Kontakt wird automatisch mit Ihrem Handy synchronisiert.

Error Handling

MS365 not logged in:

• Run mcp__ms365__login and follow authentication flow
• Retry contact creation after successful login

Missing required fields:

• At minimum, displayName and one email address are required
• If missing, ask user for clarification

API errors:

• Display error message to user
• Suggest checking MS365 connection or permissions

Tips

• German business contacts often have titles (Dr., Prof.) - include these
• Phone numbers can be stored with formatting (e.g., "+49 (7248) 79 1097")
• Fax numbers are not supported in the standard contact fields via API
• Website URLs work with or without "http://" prefix
• The skill handles both individual contacts and can be used multiple times for batch import
