Microsoft 365 Files

@mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-files

Microsoft 365 OneDrive Files MCP server — list, search, get, download, upload, delete, move, copy, share files, manage sharing permissions and version history, review file activity, and read text and Office document contents via the Microsoft Graph API.

*Cohort-style Microsoft 365 OneDrive MCP. Reuses the OAuth surface owned by @mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-mail, so the host signs in once and gets files plus mail plus calendar plus Teams plus SharePoint from the same credentials.*

Status

• Version: 0.2.1 · npm
• Auth: OAuth (host-orchestrated, shared with mcp-server-microsoft-mail) (MS_CLIENT_ID)
• Tools: 20 (files, folders, sharing, permissions, versions, activity)
• Surface: cloud-api
• Machine-readable: STATUS.json
• Shared library: @mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-shared

Why this exists

When we ported this in May 2026, Microsoft's own Graph MCP lineup did not yet ship a stand-alone OneDrive server, and the community options at the time treated OneDrive as its own login surface — every connector ran a separate OAuth dance and stored its own copy of the refresh token. We pulled the bundled connector out of MindstoneRebel as a 1:1 port so that the same five-connector Microsoft 365 cohort (mail, calendar, files, teams, SharePoint) shares a single set of credentials, a single shared-library package for token persistence and request timeouts, and the structured auth_required envelope the host already knows how to recover from. Files reuses @mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-mail's authenticate_microsoft_account tool rather than declaring its own.

Example interaction

"Find the latest version of Q3-plan.docx in my OneDrive and give me a sharing link my team can read."

Tools the host calls:

1. search_files — name:Q3-plan.docx, returns the most recent matching item.
2. share_file — creates a read-only sharing link for that item.

Response (trimmed):

{

"match": { "id": "01H7...", "name": "Q3-plan.docx", "lastModifiedDateTime": "2026-05-18T17:42:00Z" }, "share": { "type": "view", "scope": "organization", "webUrl": "https://example-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/.../EZk..." } }

Requirements

• Node.js 20+
• npm
• A host application that performs the Microsoft OAuth flow and writes per-account token files into ${MS_CONFIG_DIR}/credentials/${sanitised-email}.token.json and an ${MS_CONFIG_DIR}/accounts.json index. This server reads those files; it does not initiate OAuth itself.

One-click install

After clicking the button, your host will prompt you to fill: MS_CLIENT_ID, MS_CONFIG_DIR, MS_MCP_PACKAGE_ID, MICROSOFT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS.

Manual config for Claude Desktop / Claude Code / Goose / Continue.dev (Microsoft 365 Files)

{

"mcpServers": { "Microsoft 365 Files": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-files" ], "env": { "MS_CLIENT_ID": "", "MS_CONFIG_DIR": "", "MS_MCP_PACKAGE_ID": "Microsoft365Files", "MICROSOFT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS": "60000" } } } }

Quick Start

Install & build

cd <path-to-repo>/connectors/microsoft-files

npm install npm run build

npx (once published)

npx -y @mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-files

Local

node dist/index.js

Configuration

This server runs alongside a host application that owns the Microsoft 365 OAuth flow. The host writes credentials to disk; this server reads them.

Required environment variables

Optional environment variables

Host configuration examples

Claude Desktop / Cursor

{

"mcpServers": { "Microsoft365Files": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-files"], "env": { "MS_CLIENT_ID": "your-entra-application-client-id", "MS_CONFIG_DIR": "/absolute/path/to/microsoft-config" } } } }

Sign in via @mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-mail's authenticate_microsoft_account first; the files tools then reuse the credentials it writes to ${MS_CONFIG_DIR}/.

Local development (no npm publish needed)

{

"mcpServers": { "Microsoft365Files": { "command": "node", "args": [" /connectors/microsoft-files/dist/index.js"], "env": { "MS_CLIENT_ID": "your-entra-application-client-id", "MS_CONFIG_DIR": "/absolute/path/to/microsoft-config" } } } }

Security notes

• No authentication tool of its own; sign-in is delegated to @mindstone/mcp-server-microsoft-mail so the cohort has a single OAuth surface.
• Token-provider refresh failures map to the structured auth_required response so the host can drive reauth without crashing.
• upload_file enforces empty-content validation in line with the bundled connector to reject zero-byte uploads as a misuse.
• Binary uploads chunk to the preauthenticated upload-session URL without the Graph access token, as Graph requires. The session URL is validated before any byte is sent: HTTPS on the default port, no userinfo, Microsoft OneDrive/SharePoint hosts only, and redirects are rejected rather than followed.
• Content authored in Microsoft 365 (file names, grantee identities, activity actors and action keys, permission roles, extracted document text, and Graph error messages) is returned inside envelopes; Graph responses on the permission/version/activity/upload/document paths are Zod-validated at the boundary. Functional identifiers (permission/version/item IDs) and webUrls stay structural so they can round-trip into follow-up tool calls.
• Permission/version/activity lists follow @odata.nextLink pagination (bounded, with an explicit truncated flag); continuation links are only followed back to the Graph host so the access token cannot leak to another origin.
• read_document downloads are byte-capped mid-stream (not just by advertised metadata size) and Office ZIP inflation is bounded per-entry and cumulatively, so ZIP bombs cannot expand in memory.
• read_document follows Graph's redirect to the pre-authenticated download URL manually: each hop is revalidated against the same OneDrive/SharePoint host policy as upload sessions, hops are capped, and the access token is only sent to the Graph host — never forwarded across origins.
• Numeric limits (top, maxSize, maxChars) must be positive integers and are rejected before any network request.
• Per-tool Graph calls run under a composed caller + cohort timeout signal.
