SharePoint MCP servers: which one to use
Microsoft's own SharePoint servers are tenant-only previews, and community ones need an Azure app. Pick by who runs your Microsoft 365 tenant.

There is no simple SharePoint server you can add with one link. Microsoft's own SharePoint servers run inside your company's Microsoft 365 tenant, are in preview, and Microsoft now points new projects to Work IQ, its single server for all of Microsoft 365. Community servers run on your computer and need an Azure app registration your IT team may have to approve. Whichever you pick, it can delete files and lists, so approve changes one at a time.
Good for
- Microsoft 365 admins and Copilot Studio builders connecting agents to company SharePoint
- Developers who want Claude Code or Cursor to read and update SharePoint lists and documents
- Teams who need an assistant to search and summarize files in document libraries
- App builders working on SharePoint Embedded containers
Which Microsoft SharePoint MCP server to use
If your company's Microsoft 365 tenant allows it, ask IT to turn on Work IQ, which Microsoft recommends over its older SharePoint-only servers. If your company does not offer Microsoft's servers, a community server with your own Azure app works in Claude or Cursor, and SharePoint Embedded is only for developers building apps on it.

Questions
Is there an official SharePoint MCP server?
Yes, but only inside your company's Microsoft 365 tenant, and it is in preview. Microsoft says its SharePoint-only servers are kept for backward compatibility and new projects should use Work IQ instead.
What is the SharePoint MCP server URL?
Microsoft's is tenant-specific: https://agent365.svc.cloud.microsoft/agents/tenants/{tenantId}/servers/mcp_SharePointRemoteServer, with your tenant ID in place of {tenantId}. Work IQ uses https://workiq.svc.cloud.microsoft/mcp. Both need your tenant to allow them.
Can I connect SharePoint to Claude or Cursor?
Yes, with a community server that runs on your computer. You register an app in Azure, give it Microsoft Graph permissions, and add its ID and secret to the server's settings. Many companies require IT approval for that app.
Can it delete my SharePoint files and lists?
Yes. Microsoft's SharePoint server can delete files, lists, list items and columns, and deleting a list or column cannot be undone. Turn on your AI app's setting that asks before changes.
Is there a file size limit?
Microsoft's SharePoint server only reads and uploads files of 5 MB or less.
Does Work IQ cost extra?
Yes. Work IQ is billed per use in Copilot Credits, on top of your Microsoft 365 plan.
What is the SharePoint Embedded MCP server for?
It helps developers set up and manage apps built on SharePoint Embedded storage. It does not work with your regular SharePoint sites, and setting things up with it can add Azure charges.
