Connected through Microsoft 365

Microsoft SharePoint is a service inside the single Microsoft 365 connection on Claude. You do not install it as a separate app.

What it is

SharePoint is not connected as a standalone Claude connector in this workflow. A Microsoft Entra administrator authorizes the Microsoft 365 connector for the tenant, after which members connect their own accounts.

What it can do

What it cannot do

Not confirmed means official documentation does not assign this capability to this specific connection. It is not a claim that the capability is impossible.

Availability and requirements

The Microsoft 365 connector is available on Claude Free, Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise.

Account requirements

  • A Microsoft Entra tenant tied to a Microsoft Business plan
  • Personal Outlook/Hotmail accounts are unsupported
  • Active Microsoft 365 access

How to connect

Setup path Microsoft 365 connector (Entra tenant consent)

  1. 1. Enable Microsoft 365

    A Claude owner enables Microsoft 365 if applicable.

  2. 2. Grant tenant consent

    An Entra Global Administrator grants tenant consent.

  3. 3. Approve write scopes

    Optional write scopes are approved separately.

  4. 4. Connect

    The user connects Microsoft 365 from Claude.

  5. 5. Test

    Test with a permitted SharePoint file.

Permissions, privacy, and admin controls

Microsoft Entra Global Administrator consent is required for every tenant. Team/Enterprise also requires a Claude organization owner to enable Microsoft 365. Write access needs the updated write-scope consent.

  • Claude mirrors each user’s existing Microsoft 365 permissions and accesses data on demand.
  • Users and organization owners can revoke the connection.

Platform context

  • Claude web connectors are generally available across Claude surfaces, but individual connector requirements differ. Claude inherits the connected user’s permissions from the source service. Team and Enterprise organization owners may need to enable a connector before members authenticate it.

Documented limitations

  • Site-specific SharePoint search restriction is not supported—the connector searches across the tenant within user permissions.
  • Without write scopes, it is read-only.
  • Creating and updating are verified; deleting files is not.

Best use cases

  • Enterprise knowledge retrieval
  • Policy lookup
  • SharePoint document research
  • Creating/updating files with controlled write enablement

Example prompts

  • “Find the current procurement policy in SharePoint.”
  • “Summarize the latest project status documents I can access.”
  • “Create an updated brief in SharePoint — only when write tools are enabled.”

Troubleshooting

  • SharePoint content or writes are unavailable

    Check business-tenant status, active license, Entra admin consent, Claude owner enablement, source permission, and write-scope configuration.
