SharePoint MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects LLM applications such as Claude to your SharePoint site via the Microsoft Graph API. Use natural language to query documents, manage lists, upload files, and more — directly from your AI assistant.

Features

Category	Capability
Site	Get site information
Libraries	Browse document libraries, list folder contents
Documents	Read DOCX, PDF, XLSX, CSV, TXT; browse by path; get item metadata; upload files
Search	Full-text search across all site content
Lists	Create lists with AI-optimized schemas; create, update list items
Pages	Create modern pages and news posts
Provisioning	Create new SharePoint sites and advanced document libraries
Transport	stdio (local), SSE, streamable-http (web / Docker)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10 or higher
A SharePoint site with Microsoft 365
An Azure AD application registration with the required Graph API permissions (see docs/auth_guide.md)

Quickstart

1. Clone and install

hljs language-bash

git clone https://github.com/DEmodoriGatsuO/sharepoint-mcp.git
cd sharepoint-mcp

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Configure

hljs language-bash

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your Azure AD credentials and SharePoint site URL

Required variables in .env:

Variable	Description
`TENANT_ID`	Azure AD tenant ID
`CLIENT_ID`	Azure AD application (client) ID
`CLIENT_SECRET`	Azure AD client secret
`SITE_URL`	SharePoint site URL (`https://{tenant}.sharepoint.com/sites/{name}`)

3. Verify your setup (optional)

hljs language-bash

python config_checker.py   # Validate configuration
python auth-diagnostic.py  # Test authentication

4. Start the server

hljs language-bash

# stdio — default, for Claude Desktop / MCP Inspector
python server.py

# HTTP streamable-http — for web services and Copilot agents
python server.py --transport streamable-http --port 8000

# Docker
docker-compose up

Usage

Claude Desktop

Install the server into Claude Desktop:

hljs language-bash

mcp install server.py --name "SharePoint Assistant"

Or add it manually to claude_desktop_config.json:

hljs language-json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sharepoint": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/sharepoint-mcp/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "TENANT_ID": "...",
        "CLIENT_ID": "...",
        "CLIENT_SECRET": "...",
        "SITE_URL": "..."
      }
    }
  }
}

MCP Inspector (development)

hljs language-bash

mcp dev server.py

HTTP Server

hljs language-bash

# streamable-http (recommended for Copilot agents and web clients)
python server.py --transport streamable-http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

# SSE
python server.py --transport sse --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

# Via environment variables
MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http MCP_PORT=8000 python server.py

Docker

hljs language-bash

# Build and start (defaults to streamable-http on port 8000)
docker-compose up

# Or run manually
docker build -t sharepoint-mcp .
docker run --env-file .env -p 8000:8000 sharepoint-mcp
