# SharePoint

> Manage SharePoint sites, lists, and documents with AI-powered automation.

Microsoft SharePoint is Microsoft 365's platform for team sites, document libraries, and lists. The SharePoint MCP server lets you browse sites, work with lists and list items, manage files and folders in document libraries, and create and publish site pages using natural language.

## What Can It Do?

* **Find and browse sites** across your tenant, including subsites
* **Work with lists** by listing, creating lists, and reading their columns
* **Manage list items** by creating, updating, and deleting them
* **Manage documents** by listing, searching, downloading, uploading, copying, moving, and deleting files and folders
* **Share and version files** with sharing links, version history, and check-in/check-out
* **Create and publish site pages**

## Where to Use It

### In Agents (Recommended)

Add SharePoint as a tool to any agent. The agent can then manage your sites, lists, and documents conversationally, choosing the right actions based on context.

**To add an MCP tool to your agent:**

1. Open your agent's configuration
2. Click **Add tools** → **Connect an app with MCP**
3. Search for the integration and select it
4. Authenticate with your account

<Tip>
  You can control which tools your agent has access to. After adding an integration, click on it to enable or disable specific tools based on what your agent needs.
</Tip>

### In Workflows (Via Agent Node)

For automated pipelines, use an [Agent Node](/core-concepts/agent_node) with SharePoint tools. This gives you the flexibility of an agent within a deterministic workflow.

### As a Custom MCP Node

You can also create a standalone MCP node for a specific action. This generates a reusable node that performs one task, useful when you need the same operation repeatedly in workflows.

<div className="rounded-2xl overflow-hidden border border-pink-200 dark:border-pink-800">
  <iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1084821932" style={{ width: '100%', aspectRatio: '16/9' }} frameBorder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" title="MCP Nodes tutorial" />
</div>

**To create a custom MCP node:**

1. Go to your node library and search for the integration
2. Click **Create a node with AI**
3. Describe the specific action you want (e.g., "Upload a file to the Marketing document library")
4. Test the node and save it for reuse

<Info>
  Custom MCP nodes are single-purpose by design. For tasks that require multiple steps or dynamic decision-making, use an agent instead.

## Troubleshooting

| Issue                            | Solution                                                                                                                                           |
| -------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Agent not finding the right site | Provide the site URL or exact site name                                                                                                            |
| Action not completing            | Check that you've authenticated with your Microsoft 365 account and have access to the site                                                        |
| Permission errors                | Some actions (like creating lists) require elevated SharePoint permissions on the site                                                             |
| Unexpected results               | The agent may chain multiple tools (e.g., finding a site first, then listing its drives). Review the agent's reasoning to understand its approach. |
| Tool not available               | Verify the tool is [enabled in your agent's MCP configuration](/core-concepts/agents#tool-management-and-approvals)                                |

<Tip>
  Agents are smart enough to chain multiple API calls together. For example, asking "Upload this file to the Marketing site" will find the site, locate its document library, and upload the file. If results seem off, check the agent's step-by-step reasoning.
