Install SharePoint MCP Server in Codex
What you need first
- Codex, installed.
- uv, which
gives the
uvxcommand 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
- 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 - Replace
YOUR_SHP_ID_APP,YOUR_SHP_ID_APP_SECRET,YOUR_SHP_TENANT_ID,YOUR_SHP_SITE_URLwith your own values. - 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
uvxin the config. - The server starts, but its tools fail
- A
YOUR_…placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
