Microsoft 365 SharePoint MCP server for accessing sites, libraries, pages, lists, and files through Microsoft Graph. It supports both content discovery and changes to SharePoint items, using host-managed Microsoft OAuth credentials.
Key features
- 01Discover sites and browse libraries
- 02Read pages, lists, and files
- 03Search across SharePoint content
- 04Upload, move, and share files
- 05Create and publish site pages
- 06Manage list items and metadata
Use cases
- 01Find documents across sites and libraries
- 02Read SharePoint pages and list entries

- 04Edit files, pages, or list items
MCP support
Exposes 46 tools to MCP clients for SharePoint discovery, reading, search, sharing, and mutations. Authentication uses the host's Microsoft OAuth credentials, with a separate tool for incremental SharePoint consent.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Details
From the project README@mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-sharepoint
Microsoft 365 SharePoint MCP server — discover sites, browse document libraries, read pages and lists, search content, and perform SharePoint file/list mutations via the Microsoft Graph API.
Cohort-style SharePoint MCP. Owns its own authenticate_sharepoint tool so the host can request incremental Sites.Read.All consent on top of the cohort's base Microsoft 365 OAuth surface.
Status
- Version: 0.2.1 · npm
- Auth: OAuth (host-orchestrated incremental consent via
authenticate_sharepoint) (MS_CLIENT_ID) - Tools: 46 (auth + sites, libraries, pages, lists, metadata, search, mutations)
- Surface: cloud-api
- Machine-readable:
STATUS.json - Shared library:
@mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-shared
Why this exists
When we ported this in May 2026, Microsoft's own Graph MCP lineup did not yet ship a stand-alone SharePoint server, and the community options at the time either skipped the incremental-consent flow that SharePoint requires for cross-tenant scenarios or treated SharePoint as its own login surface — every connector ran a separate OAuth dance and stored its own copy of the refresh token. We pulled the bundled connector out of MindstoneRebel as a 1:1 port so that the same five-connector Microsoft 365 cohort (mail, calendar, files, teams, SharePoint) shares a single set of credentials and a single shared-library package for token persistence and request timeouts. SharePoint declares its own authenticate_sharepoint tool — separate from the cohort's authenticate_microsoft_account — so the host can request the additional Sites.Read.All scope without disturbing the existing mail/calendar/files/teams session.
Example interaction
"Find the Q3 OKR doc in the Strategy team's site, and create a read-only sharing link my whole team can use."
Tools the host calls:
search_sharepoint— queryQ3 OKRscoped to the Strategy site, returns the matching item.create_sharing_link— read-only, organisation scope, on that item.
Response (trimmed):
{
"match": {
"siteId": "example.sharepoint.com,...",
"name": "Q3-OKRs.docx",
"webUrl": "https://example.sharepoint.com/sites/Strategy/..."
},
"share": {
"type": "view",
"scope": "organization",
"webUrl": "https://example.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/sites/Strategy/.../EZk..."
}
}
Requirements
- Node.js 20+
- npm
- A host application that performs the Microsoft OAuth flow and writes per-account token files into
${MS_CONFIG_DIR}/credentials/${sanitised-email}.token.jsonand an${MS_CONFIG_DIR}/accounts.jsonindex. This server reads those files; it does not initiate OAuth itself.
One-click install
After clicking the button, your host will prompt you to fill: MS_CLIENT_ID, MS_CONFIG_DIR, MS_MCP_PACKAGE_ID, MICROSOFT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS.

Quick Start
Install & build

npm install
npm run build

Local
node dist/index.js
Configuration
This server runs alongside a host application that owns the Microsoft 365 OAuth flow. The host writes credentials to disk; this server reads them.
Required environment variables
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
MS_CLIENT_ID | Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) application client ID. |
MS_CONFIG_DIR | Path to the per-user Microsoft config directory (credentials/, accounts.json). |
Optional environment variables
| Name | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
MS_ACCOUNT_EMAIL | Account email when running in multi-account per-instance mode. | First account in accounts.json. |
MS_MCP_PACKAGE_ID | Logical package ID surfaced in error responses. | Microsoft365SharePoint |
MICROSOFT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS | Override the upstream Microsoft Graph request timeout (max 300000 ms). | 60000 |
MICROSOFT_DISABLE_REFRESH | Set to 1 to disable token refresh on this surface. Tools fail closed with the structured auth_required response so the host can drive reauth. Cloud surfaces set this to 1. | unset |

Sign in via @mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-mail's authenticate_microsoft_account first to negotiate the base session, then call this server's authenticate_sharepoint to request the additional SharePoint Sites.Read.All scope on top.

Security notes
authenticate_sharepointis the SharePoint-specific incremental-consent setup tool; the rest of the cohort's base auth comes from@mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-mail'sauthenticate_microsoft_account.- Manual error payloads include
action_requiredandnext_steprecovery fields while preserving the existingauth_requiredand success shapes. - The bundled silent SharePoint page-content fallback was removed — handler errors now surface the actual failure rather than returning a stale page body.
- Per-tool Graph calls run under a composed caller + cohort timeout signal via
.options({signal}).

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
