Install SharePoint MCP Server in Codex

What you need first

  • Codex, installed.
  • uv, which gives the uvx command the server starts with.
  • Your own values for YOUR_SHP_ID_APP,YOUR_SHP_ID_APP_SECRET,YOUR_SHP_TENANT_ID,YOUR_SHP_SITE_URL.

Steps

  1. Run this in a terminal. It writes the server into ~/.codex/config.toml, which the Codex CLI, its IDE extension and the ChatGPT desktop app share.
codex mcp add sharepoint-mcp --env SHP_ID_APP=YOUR_SHP_ID_APP --env SHP_ID_APP_SECRET=YOUR_SHP_ID_APP_SECRET --env SHP_TENANT_ID=YOUR_SHP_TENANT_ID --env SHP_SITE_URL=YOUR_SHP_SITE_URL -- uvx sharepoint-mcp==1.1.1
  1. Replace YOUR_SHP_ID_APP,YOUR_SHP_ID_APP_SECRET,YOUR_SHP_TENANT_ID,YOUR_SHP_SITE_URL with your own values.
  2. Start Codex again and type /mcp: the server is listed.

Check it worked

Ask Codex: List the tools of sharepoint-mcp.

If it does not start

spawn uvx ENOENT
uv is not on the PATH that Codex sees. Install it, or write the full path of uvx in the config.
The server starts, but its tools fail
A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
