What is the DataGrout Microsoft SharePoint MCP Server?

The DataGrout Microsoft SharePoint MCP Server is a native Model Context Protocol server that exposes SharePoint as callable tools for AI agents. Agents can find sites, read and write list items, work with document libraries and versions, shape content types and columns, create and publish site pages, manage sharing and permissions, read site analytics, and look up users, groups and directory roles, all through one governed endpoint that enforces side-effect policy and runs Warden preflight on every call.

119 tools across sites, lists, libraries, pages and permissions

Content types and columns at site and list level

Read and write allowed, scoped by your policy

119 Microsoft SharePoint tools, grouped by the work they do

SharePoint is several systems in one: sites, structured lists, document libraries and pages. The groups below follow that shape; the full inventory is in your signed-in workspace.

Sites and discovery

Locate the right site before doing anything else.

  • Root site, site by ID, or by hostname and server-relative URL
  • Search for sites by query
  • Followed sites, subsites and group-connected team sites
  • Follow or unfollow a site for a user

Lists and list items

The structured data layer: create lists, add columns, and keep items current.

  • Create lists and list columns
  • Create, read and update list items
  • Item versions, activities and delta changes
  • List details by ID or by title

Document libraries and files

Everything for working with documents inside a site.

  • Browse drives, folders and items by ID or path
  • Read item content and search by text
  • Upload a new file or update an existing one
  • Rename, move, copy, check out and check in

Content types and columns

Model information once and reuse it across lists.

  • Create site content types and copies on a list
  • Create and update columns on sites, lists and content types
  • Set default content locations
  • Read columns and content types at each level

Site pages and analytics

Publish content and learn whether anyone reads it.

  • Create, update and publish site pages
  • Read page web parts
  • All-time and last-seven-days analytics
  • Activity statistics over a date range and interval

Permissions, users and directory

Who can do what, and who the people and groups are.

  • Sharing links, invitations and permissions on items, lists and sites
  • Restore a previous version of an item
  • Users, groups, members and directory roles
  • SharePoint admin settings and Embedded container types

Connect Microsoft SharePoint in four steps

Everything happens in the DataGrout Hub โ€” no code, no per-agent configuration.

  1. 1

    Open your Hub Server

    In DataGrout, open the Hub Server that will carry your integrations and click Add Integration.

  2. 2

    Find Microsoft SharePoint

    Search for Microsoft SharePoint, then select the native MCP Server integration.

  3. 3

    Authorize

    Connect through Microsoft OAuth using DataGrout credentials or your own application keys. mTLS is optional.

  4. 4

    Select tools and set policy

    Expose the site, list and library tools the agent needs, then set side-effect and Warden policy.

Authentication

  • OAuth2

    Choose DataGrout credentials or your own application keys, then click Connect to start the account connection.

  • mTLS (Mutual TLS)

    Optional transport-level client identity, used alone or on top of the OAuth2 connection.

What agents get back

SharePoint responses carry the site, list, drive and item identifiers needed to chain the next call, plus column values and metadata.

  • Site, list and drive identifiers
  • List items with column values
  • Permissions, versions and activity records
  • Receipt and execution summary per call

Governance on every Microsoft SharePoint call

The server ships with the same layered policy engine as every DataGrout integration. Security teams set the posture once; every agent inherits it.

Side-effect controls

Read and write are available. Side effects are governed by your policy, set per integration and inherited from the Hub Server above it.

PII and destructive access

PII access and destructive operations are separate policy switches, so you decide what an agent may reach. Directory tools return personal details, so the PII switch matters here.

Warden preflight

Intranet content is edited by many people. Warden screens every call in Off, Log only, Advisory or Enforce mode before it executes.

Policy inheritance

Integration policy inherits from the Hub Server and can only get stricter, Warden posture included. A child integration never weakens its parent.

Observability built in

Every execution can return a receipt, a pre-run credit estimate, a Cognitive Trust Certificate and a full execution summary โ€” so an agent's work on your Microsoft SharePoint data is always explainable.

What teams run on it

Four patterns that show up again and again once a Microsoft SharePoint connection is in place.

List-backed workflows

Create items in a request, approval or inventory list from other systems, and update their status as work moves along.

Knowledge retrieval

Search a siteโ€™s libraries, read the matching documents, and answer questions with links back to the source files.

Intranet publishing

Draft a site page from approved content, update it, and publish it, with the page change recorded in the receipt.

Access reviews

List permissions on sites, lists and items, compare them with directory roles and groups, and report anything unexpected.

Microsoft SharePoint MCP Server FAQ

Through Microsoft OAuth2. You connect once in the DataGrout Hub using DataGrout credentials or your own application keys, and every agent on that Hub inherits the connection. mTLS can be layered on top.

Connect Microsoft SharePoint to your agents

Add the Microsoft SharePoint MCP Server to your DataGrout Hub and let agents work with sites, lists and documents, with governance on every change.
