# TeamsMigration

Migrate MS Teams meeting chat or group chat content to team channels, preserving sender attribution, timestamps, images, and attachments. Uses the `teams-mcp` MCP server for reading and the Microsoft Graph API directly for high-volume batch posting with automatic token refresh and rate limiting.

## Workflow Routing

| Workflow | Trigger | File |
|----------|---------|------|
| **MigrateChat** | "migrate chat", "copy chat to channel", "move messages" | `Workflows/MigrateChat.md` |
| **ExportChat** | "export chat", "backup chat", "download messages" | `Workflows/ExportChat.md` |

## Examples

**Example 1: Migrate a meeting chat to a team channel**
```
User: "Migrate the Teams meeting chat to the DevOps channel"
--> Invokes MigrateChat workflow
--> Verifies auth, fetches all messages with pagination
--> Filters system/deleted messages, reverses to chronological order
--> Posts each message with sender + timestamp attribution
--> Verifies count parity and spot-checks content
```

**Example 2: Export chat messages to a local file**
```
User: "Export all messages from our DevOps chat"
--> Invokes ExportChat workflow
--> Fetches all messages with full pagination
--> Saves to JSON file with metadata
```

## Quick Reference

- **MCP Server:** `@floriscornel/teams-mcp` (npm)
- **Auth file:** `~/.msgraph-mcp-auth.json`
- **Token cache:** `~/.teams-mcp-token-cache.json`
- **Auth command:** `npx @floriscornel/teams-mcp@latest authenticate`
- **Migration tool:** `Tools/MigrateChat.mjs` (Node.js, no dependencies)

## Key Learnings

- **Graph API `descending: false` not supported** -- fetch descending, reverse array
- **`download_message_hosted_content`** only works for channel messages, not chat messages
- **Token auto-refresh** via MSAL refresh token in `~/.teams-mcp-token-cache.json`
- **Rate limiting** handled by respecting `Retry-After` header on 429 responses
- **For bulk posting (50+ messages)** use `Tools/MigrateChat.mjs` directly via Graph API instead of MCP tool calls
- **Account must have Teams license** -- `Chat.*` endpoints fail without it (403)
