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: 0.1.2 · npm
• Auth: OAuth (host-orchestrated incremental consent via authenticate_sharepoint) (MS_CLIENT_ID)
• Tools: 36 (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 — query Q3 OKR scoped 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.json and an ${MS_CONFIG_DIR}/accounts.json index. 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

cd <path-to-repo>/connectors/microsoft-sharepoint
npm install
npm run build

npx (once published)

npx -y @mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-sharepoint

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Microsoft365SharePoint": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-sharepoint"],

      }
    }
  }
}

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_sharepoint is the SharePoint-specific incremental-consent setup tool; the rest of the cohort's base auth comes from @mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-mail's authenticate_microsoft_account.
• Manual error payloads include action_required and next_step recovery fields while preserving the existing auth_required and 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}).
