Yes, if you are building a Python application that needs to call Microsoft Graph API. Install it as a dependency of the full Microsoft Graph Python SDK, or directly if you need low-level control over Graph requests. The library is production-stable, actively maintained, and has no known vulnerabilities. Requires Python 3.10+ and async-capable code.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- Requires async-compatible environment and properly configured authentication credentials.
- Low friction installation with a wheel distribution.

What it is and what it does
msgraph-core is the foundational HTTP client library for the Microsoft Graph Python SDK, built on the Kiota framework. It handles authentication, request building, and HTTP communication with the Microsoft Graph API. The library is async-first, designed to work with async environments, and integrates with microsoft-kiota-authentication-azure for credential management.
This is a major version rewrite from the previous core library, introducing breaking changes. It provides the BaseGraphRequestAdapter class that accepts an AuthenticationProvider to handle authenticated requests. The library captures telemetry metadata (SDK version, runtime environment, host OS) by default to improve the developer experience.
Use it for
- Building Python applications that interact with Microsoft Graph data via the Graph API with async/await patterns
- Integrating authentication into custom Graph API clients without using the full SDK
- Sending raw HTTP requests to Graph endpoints using RequestInformation objects and custom response types
- Developing services that need to call Microsoft Graph with managed identity or environment-based credentials
