How to Set Up and Use SharePoint
SharePoint MCP Server is a Python-based Model Context Protocol server that connects LLM applications such as Claude to a SharePoint site via the Microsoft Graph API. It supports browsing document libraries, reading DOCX, PDF, XLSX, CSV, and TXT files, performing full-text search across site content, managing lists, creating pages and news posts, uploading files, and even provisioning new SharePoint sites — all through natural-language queries from your AI assistant. It runs locally over stdio or as an HTTP service, making it suitable for both personal use and enterprise deployments.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10 or higher
- A Microsoft 365 account with access to a SharePoint site
- An Azure AD application registration with Microsoft Graph API permissions (Sites.ReadWrite.All, Files.ReadWrite.All, Lists.ReadWrite.All — see docs/auth_guide.md in the repo)
- Azure AD Tenant ID, Client ID, and Client Secret from your app registration
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop
Clone the repository and create a virtual environment
Clone the project and set up an isolated Python environment to avoid dependency conflicts.
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.txtRegister an Azure AD application
In the Azure portal, register a new application, add the required Microsoft Graph API permissions, and create a client secret. Note your Tenant ID, Client ID, Client Secret, and your SharePoint site URL.
Configure environment variables
Copy the example environment file and fill in your Azure AD credentials and SharePoint site URL.
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env:
# TENANT_ID=your-azure-tenant-id
# CLIENT_ID=your-azure-client-id
# CLIENT_SECRET=your-azure-client-secret
# SITE_URL=https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/yoursiteValidate your configuration (optional)
Run the included diagnostic scripts to verify that authentication and site connectivity work before wiring up the MCP client.
python config_checker.py
python auth-diagnostic.pyAdd the server to Claude Desktop
Add an entry to claude_desktop_config.json referencing the server.py file and passing your credentials as environment variables. Replace the path and credential values with your own.

}Restart Claude Desktop and test
Restart Claude Desktop. Ask it to list document libraries or search for a document to confirm the connection is working.

Example natural-language queries you can send to Claude once the SharePoint server is connected.
- "List all document libraries in my SharePoint site."
- "Search for documents about Q3 budget in SharePoint."
- "Read the contents of the file 'ProjectPlan.docx' from the Documents library."
- "Create a new list called 'Action Items' with columns for Title, Owner, and Due Date."
- "Upload the file report.pdf to the Documents/Reports folder."Troubleshooting SharePoint
Authentication fails with 'AADSTS700016: Application not found in the directory'
Verify that CLIENT_ID matches the Application (client) ID in your Azure AD app registration and that the app is registered in the same tenant as TENANT_ID.
Graph API returns 403 Forbidden when accessing SharePoint content
Ensure your Azure AD app has the correct Microsoft Graph API permissions (Sites.ReadWrite.All, Files.ReadWrite.All) and that an admin has granted consent to those permissions in the Azure portal.
PDF or DOCX files cannot be read — content comes back empty
Confirm that the required Python packages (pdfplumber, python-docx, openpyxl) installed correctly by running 'pip install -r requirements.txt' inside the activated virtual environment.
