Authentication Options

The server supports two authentication methods:

  1. Client Secret Authentication - Traditional client ID and secret. It's the App-only authentication that is deprecated and will not work after April 2026.

  2. Certificate Authentication - More modern method using Azure AD App Registration with certificate

Option 1: Client Secret Authentication (Will not work after April 2026)

This option requires the SharePoint administrator role.

Configuration steps

⚠️ You need to be a SharePoint tenant admin or a global admin to create a SharePoint app.

Allow SharePoint-only apps

  • Download and install the SharePoint Online Management Shell from here.

  • Open PowerShell and run the following command to make sure the SharePoint-only apps are enabled:

Connect-SPOService -Url https://<your-tenant>-admin.sharepoint.com/ Set-SPOTenant -DisableCustomAppAuthentication $false

Create SharePoint-only App with Client Secret

  • Open https://<your-tenant>.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/appregnew.aspx

  • Click Generate to create a new client ID and secret.

  • Fill in the following fields:

    • App Domain: www.example.com (or any domain you own)

    • Redirect URL: http://example.com App registration

  • Click Create to create the app.

  • Copy the Client ID and Client Secret values to a safe place. You will need them later.

Grant App Permissions

  • Open https://<your-tenant>.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/appinv.aspx

  • Paste the Client ID value in the App ID field and click Lookup. Lookup

  • Paste the following XML in the App Permission Request XML field:

<AppPermissionRequests AllowAppOnlyPolicy="true"> <AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/content/tenant" Right="FullControl" /> </AppPermissionRequests>

  • Click Create and then Trust It to grant the app permissions. Trust it

Option 2: Certificate Authentication

Certificate-based authentication provides better security than client secrets. It uses a certificate to prove the identity of the application instead of a shared secret.

⚠️ This option requires the Global administrator role to provide the necessary permissions to the app.

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/Zerg00s/server-sharepoint.git

Create Azure AD App with Certificate

Navigate to the cloned repo and use the provided PowerShell script to create the Azure AD app with certificate:

.\Create-SPAppCertificate.ps1 -AppName "SharePoint-Server-MCP" -CertName "SharePoint-Server-MCP-Cert" -CertPassword "YourSecureP@ssw0rd!"

This script will

  1. Create a self-signed certificate in your certificate store

  2. Register an Azure AD application

  3. Add the certificate to the application

  4. Configure the required SharePoint permissions

  5. Generate configuration files with the necessary settings

  6. Output the claude_desktop_config.json that is compatible with Claude Desktop

Grant Admin Consent

After running the script, you'll get an Admin Consent URL. Open it in a browser and sign in as a Global Admin to grant consent for the permissions.

Install Node.js

Install Node.js version: 22.14.0 or later

Install and Configure Claude Desktop

  • Download Claude Desktop and install it.

  • In Claude Desktop, go to File > Settings > Developer. File > Settings

  • Click Edit Config Config

  • Open the claude_desktop_config.json config file in the editor. You can also use the claude_desktop_config.json file generated by the PowerShell script earlier.

  • Paste the following to the config and update the mcpServers section with your own values:

Config for Certificate Authentication

{ "mcpServers": { "server-sharepoint": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "server-sharepoint" ], "env": { "AZURE_APPLICATION_ID": "<your-app-id>", "AZURE_APPLICATION_CERTIFICATE_THUMBPRINT": "<your-certificate-thumbprint>", "AZURE_APPLICATION_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD": "<your-certificate-password>", "M365_TENANT_ID": "<your-tenant-id>" } } } }

Config for Client Secret Authentication (not recommended)

{ "mcpServers": { "server-sharepoint": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "server-sharepoint" ], "env": { "SHAREPOINT_CLIENT_ID": "<your-client-id>", "SHAREPOINT_CLIENT_SECRET": "<your-client-secret>", "M365_TENANT_ID": "<your-tenant-id>" } } } }

💡Learn how to get the tenant ID from Entra ID

  • Save the config file and restart Claude Desktop. Make sure to quit the app completely via the tasks tray icon: Quick Claude App

How to "talk" to the MCP Server

  • Open Claude Desktop and ask a question like Get me the list of lists from https://<your-tenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/Dashboard-Communication. Present the results in a table form. don't use code.
