What is the Microsoft SharePoint MCP Server?

The Microsoft SharePoint MCP server gives AI agents structured, permission-aware access to Microsoft SharePoint through the Model Context Protocol. With 25 pre-built actions, agents can read, create, and update Microsoft SharePoint data on behalf of authorized users.

Willow ships the Microsoft SharePoint MCP server as part of an enterprise control plane. Every call runs behind SSO (Okta, Azure AD), enforces RBAC and least-privilege at runtime, writes to a full audit trail, and integrates with Splunk and Loki for SIEM visibility. Connect from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, VS Code, n8n, or any custom agent. Install once, distribute org-wide, and see exactly how Microsoft SharePoint is being used by every AI agent in your stack.

Tools

List Sites

List all SharePoint sites that the authenticated user has access to. This returns a comprehensive list of sites across the organization, making it ideal for discovering available SharePoint sites. Use this when you need to see all accessible sites or when you're not sure which site contains the information you're looking for.

Get Site

Get detailed information about a specific SharePoint site by its ID. This retrieves site metadata including display name, description, web URL, creation date, and other properties. Use this when you have a site ID and need to get its details or verify site information.

Search Sites

Search for SharePoint sites by keyword or phrase. This performs a full-text search across site names, descriptions, and other metadata. Use this when you're looking for sites related to a specific topic, project, or team but don't know the exact site name or ID.

Get Site by Path

Get a SharePoint site by its hostname and server-relative path. This is useful when you know the site's URL structure. For example, to access a site at 'https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/marketing', you would use hostname 'contoso.sharepoint.com' and path '/sites/marketing'.

List Subsites

List all subsites (child sites) of a parent SharePoint site. Subsites are sites that exist within the hierarchy of a parent site. Use this to explore the site structure and discover nested sites within a site collection.

List Documents

List all documents and folders in a SharePoint document library. By default, this lists items in the root folder of the default document library. You can optionally specify a folder path to list contents of a specific folder. Returns file metadata including name, size, creation date, modification date, and web URLs.

Get Document

Get detailed metadata and download information for a specific document. Returns comprehensive information including file name, size, MIME type, creation/modification dates, download URL, web view link, and sharing information. Use this to retrieve a file's properties or to get a download link.

Search Documents

Search for documents and files within a SharePoint site's document library. Performs full-text search across file names, content, and metadata. This is useful when you need to find specific files but don't know their exact location or when searching for files containing specific keywords.

Upload Document

Upload a new file to a SharePoint document library. You can upload to the root folder or specify a folder path. The file content should be provided as base64-encoded data. For files larger than 4MB, consider using upload sessions (not currently supported). Returns the newly created file's metadata including its ID.

Update Document

Update the content of an existing document in SharePoint. This replaces the entire file content. The new content should be provided as base64-encoded data. This operation preserves the file's ID and metadata while updating only the content. For files larger than 4MB, consider using upload sessions (not currently supported).

Enterprise Governance for Microsoft SharePoint

Willow adds the layer Microsoft SharePoint and every other SaaS doesn't ship out of the box: every call runs behind SSO (Okta, Azure AD), enforces RBAC and least-privilege at runtime, writes to full audit logs, and detects shadow AI usage across your stack. One MCP gateway. Any agent. Every tool.

Microsoft SharePoint MCP Server FAQ

What is the Microsoft SharePoint MCP server?

The Microsoft SharePoint MCP server is a Model Context Protocol implementation that lets AI agents like Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT read and write Microsoft SharePoint data through a standardized interface. Willow hosts and governs this server so enterprises can roll it out without a security review backlog.

How is Willow's Microsoft SharePoint MCP server different from the official one?

The official Microsoft SharePoint MCP server is scoped to a single user's account and does not include enterprise governance. Willow's version adds SSO, RBAC, audit logging, shadow AI detection, and centralized control over which actions agents can take across the entire org.

Which AI clients work with the Microsoft SharePoint MCP server?

Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, VS Code with MCP support, n8n, and any custom agent built with OpenAI Agents SDK, LangChain, Vercel AI SDK, or Anthropic SDK.

Is the Microsoft SharePoint MCP server secure? How does Willow handle authentication?

Every call runs behind your existing SSO (Okta, Azure AD). Per-user OAuth scopes the agent to exactly what that user can do in Microsoft SharePoint, nothing more. No credentials reach the LLM. Every action writes to an audit trail.

Can I limit which Microsoft SharePoint actions agents can take?

Yes. Willow lets you scope agents to specific actions, specific projects, or specific environments. Toggle actions on or off in the dashboard, or enforce policy via infrastructure-as-code through GitHub.

How do I detect shadow Microsoft SharePoint MCP servers in my org?

Willow's browser extension and discovery service surface unmanaged MCP servers, skills, and AI agents across the org. If a developer installed an unapproved Microsoft SharePoint MCP locally, you'll see it.

What does the Microsoft SharePoint MCP server cost?

Pricing depends on org size and deployment model (SaaS, dedicated cloud, self-host). See withwillow.ai/pricing or contact sales for a quote.

How do I install the Microsoft SharePoint MCP server with Willow?

Install via the Willow Connect Panel in one click, or paste the JSON snippet above into your Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code config. SSO and RBAC inherit from your existing Willow setup.
