Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/share_point

Setup

This skill requires the Rube MCP server connected at https://rube.app/mcp.

Before executing any tools, ensure active connections exist for the share_point and one_drive toolkits. If no connection is active, initiate one via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS.

Note: Many OneDrive/SharePoint tools only work with organizational Microsoft 365 accounts (Azure AD/Entra ID). Personal Microsoft accounts are NOT supported.
