Sharepoint Mcp is a production-grade Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI agents live access to Microsoft SharePoint. It connects tools like Claude Desktop, VS Code Copilot, Cursor, and Continue to SharePoint documents, folders, and metadata, enabling agents to read, manage, and reason over organisational knowledge in real time.

FAQ from Sharepoint Mcp

How do I install and configure Sharepoint Mcp?

Install with pip install sharepoint-mcp, then create a .env file from .env.example and set your SharePoint credentials. Optionally restrict operations to a subfolder with SHP_DOC_LIBRARY. Run sharepoint-mcp for stdio transport or use Docker for HTTP.

What credentials are required to connect to SharePoint?

You need an Azure AD app with client ID, client secret, tenant ID, and your SharePoint site URL. A step-by-step guide is available in docs/azure-setup.md. You can choose between Office365 REST API (default) or Microsoft Graph API by setting SHP_API_TYPE.

What transport modes does Sharepoint Mcp support?

It supports two transport modes: stdio (default, for desktop clients like Claude Desktop and Cursor) and http (for Docker, remote agents, and VS Code Copilot Agent mode). Set the TRANSPORT environment variable to switch.

What file formats can the AI agent read from SharePoint?

The server extracts full text from PDF, Word (.docx/.doc), Excel (.xlsx/.xls), and plain text formats (TXT, JSON, Markdown, HTML, YAML, Python). Images, ZIP, and other binaries are returned as file type plus Base64.

Can I deploy Sharepoint Mcp using Docker?

Yes. Clone the repository, configure .env, and run docker compose up -d. This pulls the latest image from DockerHub (or a specific version) and starts the server with HTTP transport on port 8000. A health check endpoint is available at /health.
