What it does
The `microsoft-events` plugin reads a project's dependency files: `package.json`, `requirements.txt`, `.csproj`, `go.mod` and others. It maps them to Microsoft products and searches sessions in live event catalogs. Ignite 2026 (November 17–20, 2026, San Francisco) is the default, and a Build 2026 catalog is also available. For fast search the plugin runs the `msevents` tool through `npx -y @microsoft/events-cli`, and without Node.js it queries the catalog over HTTP. Before the event the agent builds a personal session path and shows what is new for your stack. During the event it logs notes against a session code such as BRK155 and suggests next steps. After the event it writes a checklist for the team, a learning path and a project scaffold from a technical session. For documentation and code samples the plugin turns to the Microsoft Learn MCP server at `https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp`.
Who it is for. Developers and administrators on the Microsoft stack who choose Ignite and Build sessions and want to carry the takeaways into code or checklists.
Good fit when
- Before Ignite 2026 you want the sessions that touch Cosmos DB, Functions or Entra from your project
- An Intune and Defender administrator wants a session path for their role
- You know the BRK155 session code and want its description, speakers and documentation links in the terminal
- After a session the takeaways are worth turning into a checklist for the team
- A technical session should be tried in code: the plugin creates a project scaffold from the session
Not a fit when
- You look for sessions of conferences outside Microsoft: only the Ignite 2026 and Build 2026 catalogs are supported
- The project has no dependency file and you did not name your stack: recommendations are built from manifests
- You need to work offline: the catalog and the Learn server are queried online
Example request
What Ignite 2026 sessions are relevant to my project?Limitations
- The plugin is tied to events: the Ignite 2026 and Build 2026 catalogs; it recognizes events such as Frontier Tour by name but gives no facts about them.
- Recommendation quality depends on dependency files in the project root. Without a manifest you have to name the stack yourself.
- The Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork plugin searches a catalog bundled at build time and goes stale until a new release.
- `msevents` needs Node.js 22 or newer.
How to disable. In GitHub Copilot CLI remove the plugin through the plugin manager and restart the session with `/restart`. In Claude Code and VS Code disable or remove `microsoft-events` in the plugin list. For Visual Studio 2026 delete the copied `skills/microsoft-events/` folder.
FAQ
How do I install Microsoft Events CLI in Claude Code?
Run `/plugin marketplace add microsoft/Build-CLI`, then `/plugin install microsoft-events@microsoft-events-marketplace`. After the install ask which Ignite 2026 sessions fit your project. The agent reads the dependency files and returns a list.
Which events are supported?
Ignite 2026 by default and Build 2026. Other events, such as Frontier Tour, are recognized by name, but the plugin does not search their sessions or invent dates, venues and schedules.
Is Node.js required?
For fast local search and caching Node.js 22 or newer is advisable: the plugin runs `msevents`. Without Node.js the skill queries the catalog over HTTP, and the main scenarios keep working.
How does the plugin differ from the Microsoft Learn MCP server?
The plugin searches event sessions and builds an attendance plan for your project. The Microsoft Learn server serves documentation and code samples, and the plugin connects it for reference. A separate catalog card describes the server itself.
Where do I get the Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork version?
The `microsoft-events-m365.zip` archive is in the repository's latest release. In Cowork open Customize, then Plugins, Add plugin and Only you, and upload the archive.

README in short
The page opens with a three-step quick start for Copilot CLI. Tables of prompts follow for three stages: before the event, during it and after it. A clients section lists Copilot CLI, VS Code, Visual Studio 2026, Claude Code and Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork, and scope and limits close the page.
