Clippy - Microsoft 365 CLI

Source: https://github.com/foeken/clippy

Works through the M365 web UI via browser automation (Playwright), not the Graph API. No Azure AD app registration required - just login with your browser.

Install

git clone https://github.com/foeken/clippy.git
cd clippy && bun install
bun run src/cli.ts --help

Or link globally:

bun link

Authentication

# Interactive login (opens browser, establishes session)
clippy login --interactive

# Check auth status
clippy whoami

Keepalive (recommended)

Keep a browser session alive to prevent token expiry:

# Start keepalive (keeps browser open, refreshes every 10min)
clippy keepalive --interval 10

For persistent operation, set up as a launchd service (macOS) or systemd (Linux).

Health monitoring: Keepalive writes to

~/.config/clippy/keepalive-health.txt

on each successful refresh. Check if this file is stale (>15min) to detect failures.
