Use Cases

Why integrate with SharePoint

Common scenarios for SaaS companies building SharePoint integrations for their customers.

01

Power AI search and retrieval across customer SharePoint environments

SaaS companies building AI copilots or enterprise search products can ingest SharePoint pages, wiki content, and documents to build knowledge graphs. Truto's Unified Knowledge Base and Search APIs handle the complexity of traversing sites, drives, and page content while respecting permission boundaries.

02

Offer 'Bring Your Own Storage' with SharePoint as the destination

CLM platforms, HR tools, and project management apps can push generated files — contracts, invoices, onboarding packets — directly into a customer's SharePoint drives. This lets enterprise customers maintain data sovereignty without leaving the SaaS product.

03

Sync workspace structures between your app and SharePoint

When a SaaS app creates a new project, deal, or client record, it can automatically provision matching folders and directory structures in SharePoint. This keeps the SaaS app and the customer's file organization in lockstep without manual effort.

04

Build a native SharePoint file picker into your product

SaaS apps can let end users browse their SharePoint sites, drives, and folders directly within the product UI to attach, link, or import files. Truto's tools for listing sites and drives plus the Unified File Storage API make this straightforward to implement.

05

Enforce permission-aware document access in third-party apps

When surfacing SharePoint content inside a SaaS product, companies need to ensure users only see what they're authorized to see in SharePoint. The Unified File Storage API exposes permission data so apps can replicate access controls faithfully.

What You Can Build

Ship these features with Truto + SharePoint

Concrete product features your team can ship faster by leveraging Truto’s SharePoint integration instead of building from scratch.

01

Embedded SharePoint file picker

Let users browse SharePoint sites and drives using list_all_sharepoint_sites and list_all_sharepoint_drives, then select specific files or folders to link into your app.

02

Automated deal room provisioning

When a deal closes or a project kicks off, automatically create a structured folder hierarchy in the customer's SharePoint drive with template documents pre-loaded.

03

Permission-aware document search

Index SharePoint pages and drive items via the Unified Search API and Unified Knowledge Base API, then filter results at query time using SharePoint permission data from the Unified File Storage API.

04

Bi-directional document sync engine

Continuously watch SharePoint drives for updated files and sync the latest versions into your platform, or push app-generated documents back into the correct SharePoint drive.

05

SharePoint wiki and intranet ingestion pipeline

Crawl SharePoint Spaces and Pages via the Unified Knowledge Base API to extract page content for feeding RAG pipelines, internal search indexes, or knowledge management features.

06

User directory sync from SharePoint workspaces

Pull user identities and workspace membership via the Unified User Directory API to auto-map permissions, pre-populate user profiles, or trigger onboarding workflows in your product.

Why Truto

Why use Truto’s MCP server for SharePoint

Other MCP servers give you a static tool list for one app. Truto gives you a managed, multi-tenant MCP infrastructure across 650+ integrations.

01

Auto-generated, always up to date

Tools are dynamically generated from curated documentation — not hand-coded. As integrations evolve, tools stay current without manual maintenance.

02

Fine-grained access control

Scope each MCP server to read-only, write-only, specific methods, or tagged tool groups. Expose only what your AI agent needs — nothing more.

03

Multi-tenant by design

Each MCP server is scoped to a single connected account with its own credentials. The URL itself is the auth token — no shared secrets, no credential leaking across tenants.

04

Works with every MCP client

Standard JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol. Paste the URL into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible agent framework — tools are discovered automatically.

05

Built-in auth, rate limits, and error handling

Tool calls execute through Truto’s proxy layer with automatic OAuth refresh, rate-limit handling, and normalized error responses. No raw API plumbing in your agent.

06

Expiring and auditable servers

Create time-limited MCP servers for contractors or automated workflows. Optional dual-auth requires both the URL and a Truto API token for high-security environments.

Unified APIs

Unified APIs for SharePoint

Skip writing code for every integration. Use Truto’s category-specific Unified APIs out of the box or customize the mappings with AI.

Unified Knowledge Base API

Page-Content

Represents the content of a page

View Docs

Pages

Represents the pages, posts, articles in a knowledge base

View Docs

Spaces

Represents the high level grouping of pages in a knowledge base

View Docs

Unified User Directory API

Users

The User object represents a User.

View Docs

Workspaces

Workspaces represent concepts like teams, workspaces, projects in apps that support them

View Docs

Unified File Storage API

Drive-Items

Drive Items are the files and folders present in a file storage system. These items are usually part of a Drive. You can differentiate between files and folders using the type attribute.

View Docs

Drives

Drives is a collection of files and folders. They could have multiple Drive Items within them. Users could have multiple Drives accessible to them in a file storage system.

View Docs

Permissions

Permissions can answer your questions around which User has access to do what on a Drive Item or a Drive.

View Docs

Workspaces

Workspaces represent the top-level subdivision in a file storage system. They usually have their own set of drives, groups and users. Some of the usual terminologies used by the products for the top-level subdivision are projects, bases, spaces, workspace, etc.

Unified Search API

Search

Search endpoint for all the apps.

How It Works

From zero to integrated

Go live with SharePoint in under an hour. No boilerplate, no maintenance burden.

01

Link your customer’s SharePoint account

Use Truto’s frontend SDK to connect your customer’s SharePoint account. We handle all OAuth and API key flows — you don’t need to create the OAuth app.

02

We handle authentication

Don’t spend time refreshing access tokens or figuring out secure storage. We handle it and inject credentials into every API request.

03

Call our API, we call SharePoint

Truto’s Proxy API is a 1-to-1 mapping of the SharePoint API. You call us, we call SharePoint, and pass the response back in the same cycle.

04

Unified response format

Every response follows a single format across all integrations. We translate SharePoint’s pagination into unified cursor-based pagination. Data is always in the result attribute.

FAQs

Common questions about SharePoint on Truto

Authentication, rate limits, data freshness, and everything else you need to know before you integrate.

How does authentication work for SharePoint integrations through Truto?

SharePoint uses OAuth 2.0 via Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD). Truto manages the full OAuth flow — token acquisition, refresh, and storage — so your end users simply authorize access through a consent screen and you never handle credentials directly.

How does Truto handle SharePoint's hierarchical structure of sites and drives?

Truto provides dedicated tools — list_all_sharepoint_sites and list_all_sharepoint_drives — that let you enumerate all sites a connected user has access to, then drill into the document libraries (drives) within each site. From there, the Unified File Storage API gives you access to drive items, folders, and permissions.

Can I access SharePoint page and wiki content, not just files?

Yes. The Unified Knowledge Base API exposes Spaces, Pages, and Page-Content resources, allowing you to read structured intranet and wiki content from SharePoint sites — not just documents stored in drives.

How are file permissions handled when reading SharePoint data?

The Unified File Storage API includes a Permissions resource that exposes the access control lists (ACLs) on drive items. You can read these permissions to enforce the same access boundaries in your app that exist in the customer's SharePoint environment.

Does Truto handle pagination and rate limits for the SharePoint / Microsoft Graph API?

Yes. Truto abstracts away Microsoft Graph API pagination and manages rate limit retries automatically. You interact with a consistent Unified API interface regardless of the underlying API's quirks.

What operations are supported — read-only or read-write?

The Unified File Storage API supports both reading and writing drive items, so you can list, download, upload, and organize files. The Unified Knowledge Base, User Directory, and Search APIs provide read access to pages, users, and search results respectively.
