Microsoft Word connector

  1. Terminal window
    npm install @scalekit-sdk/node

    Full SDK reference: Node.js | Python

  2. Add your Scalekit credentials to your .env file. Find values in app.scalekit.com > Developers > API Credentials.

    .env
    SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL=<your-environment-url>
    SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id>
    SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-client-secret>
  3. Register your Microsoft Word credentials with Scalekit so it handles the token lifecycle. You do this once per environment.

    Dashboard setup steps

    Register your Scalekit environment with the Microsoft Word connector so Scalekit handles the authentication flow and token lifecycle for you. The connection name you create will be used to identify and invoke the connection programmatically. Then complete the configuration in your application as follows:

    1. Set up auth redirects

      • In Scalekit dashboard, go to AgentKit > Connections > Create Connection. Find Word and click Create. Copy the redirect URI. It will look like https://<SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL>/sso/v1/oauth/<CONNECTION_ID>/callback.

        Copy redirect URI from Scalekit dashboard

      • Sign into portal.azure.com and go to Microsoft Entra IDApp registrationsNew registration.

      • Enter a name for your app.

      • Under Supported account types, select Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Azure AD directory - Multitenant) and personal Microsoft accounts.

      • Under Redirect URI, select Web and paste the redirect URI from step 1. Click Register.

        Register an application in Azure portal

    2. Get your client credentials

      • Go to Certificates & secretsNew client secret, set an expiry, and click Add. Copy the Value immediately.

      • From the Overview page, copy the Application (client) ID.

    3. Add credentials in Scalekit

      • In Scalekit dashboard, go to AgentKit > Connections and open the connection you created.

      • Enter your credentials:

        Add credentials in Scalekit dashboard

      • Click Save.

  4. quickstart.ts
    import { ScalekitClient } from '@scalekit-sdk/node'
    import 'dotenv/config'
    const scalekit = new ScalekitClient(
    process.env.SCALEKIT_ENV_URL,
    process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID,
    process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET,
    )
    const actions = scalekit.actions
    const connector = 'microsoftword'
    const identifier = 'user_123'
    // Generate an authorization link for the user
    const { link } = await actions.getAuthorizationLink({ connectionName: connector, identifier })
    console.log('Authorize Microsoft Word:', link)
    process.stdout.write('Press Enter after authorizing...')
    await new Promise(r => process.stdin.once('data', r))
    // Make your first call
    const result = await actions.executeTool({
    connector,
    identifier,
    toolName: 'microsoftword_get_document',
    toolInput: { item_id: 'YOUR_ITEM_ID' },
    })
    console.log(result)

Proxy API call
const result = await actions.request({
connectionName: 'microsoftword',
identifier: 'user_123',
path: '/v1.0/me',
method: 'GET',
});
console.log(result);
Execute a tool
const result = await actions.executeTool({
connector: 'microsoftword',
identifier: 'user_123',
toolName: 'microsoftword_list',
toolInput: {},
});
console.log(result);

Use the exact tool names from the Tool list below when you call execute_tool. If you’re not sure which name to use, list the tools available for the current user first.
