# How to connect SharePoint to OpenClaw (no API keys) > Connect SharePoint to OpenClaw with ClawLink in one click — 12 tools your AI agent can call from chat via hosted OAuth. No API keys, no manual setup. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/sharepoint The usual route to SharePoint access for OpenClaw is an MCP server you configure and keep running, plus your own OAuth app or API keys. ClawLink gives OpenClaw a more practical SharePoint setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect SharePoint in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real SharePoint actions from any chat surface with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself. ## SharePoint MCP for OpenClaw Looking for a SharePoint MCP server for OpenClaw? ClawLink connects SharePoint to OpenClaw and exposes 12 SharePoint tools your agent can call over [MCP](https://claw-link.dev/learn/what-is-an-mcp-server), with [hosted auth](https://claw-link.dev/learn/oauth-for-ai-agents) and nothing to run or maintain yourself. Using Hermes instead? The [Hermes SharePoint integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/sharepoint) works the same way. **Start here:** install the ClawLink plugin (`openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin`), pair it in the browser, then connect the app in the ClawLink dashboard. The interactive install prompt is on the web version of this page: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/sharepoint ## Setup It takes three steps to connect OpenClaw to SharePoint. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once. 2. **Connect SharePoint** — one-click OAuth in the ClawLink dashboard. 3. **Use it from chat** — ask OpenClaw in plain English. **Alternative for any agent (no plugin needed):** if the OpenClaw plugin route isn't available or doesn't work, any AI agent with shell access can use the ClawLink CLI instead: ```bash npx -y @useclawlink/cli login # sign in via browser — no API key to paste npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect sharepoint # connect SharePoint (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions sharepoint # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run sharepoint --input '' # execute (add --confirm for writes) ``` ## What the OpenClaw SharePoint integration can do 12 SharePoint tools are ready for OpenClaw once the account is connected. ### All 12 SharePoint tools for OpenClaw | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Share point add attachment to list item** `share_point_add_attachment_to_list_item` | Tool to add an attachment to a SharePoint list item.

IMPORTANT: This action works ONLY with SharePoint lists (not document libraries). | ## Example prompts **Share Point Add Attachment To List Item** > Use SharePoint to share point add attachment to list item and walk me through the result in plain English. **Share Point Add Field Link To Content Type** > Use SharePoint to share point add field link to content type and walk me through the result in plain English. **Share Point Add Role Assignment To Item** > Use SharePoint to share point add role assignment to item and walk me through the result in plain English. **Share Point Add Role Assignment To List** > Use SharePoint to share point add role assignment to list and walk me through the result in plain English. ## ClawLink vs. building it yourself The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual OAuth app setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for OpenClaw. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want SharePoint working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Connection flow** | Register a SharePoint app, configure redirect URLs, manage consent details, and reconnect users when auth settings drift. | Users connect SharePoint through the hosted browser flow and ClawLink keeps the token lifecycle out of your app code. | | **Ongoing maintenance** | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for SharePoint. | ClawLink handles the repetitive integration plumbing so your team can focus on the workflow instead of the infrastructure. | | **Agent usability** | You still need to expose the right SharePoint actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 12 tools for SharePoint are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes SharePoint to AI agents. It is developer infrastructure: Python and TypeScript SDKs, an MCP server, and a catalog past 1,000 apps, aimed at teams shipping agent products. ClawLink is built for OpenClaw users instead. You install the plugin once, connect SharePoint in the browser, and the 12 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK, no config file, and no API key handling. Choosing between them?

Make sure SharePoint is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog. If OpenClaw runs as a persistent gateway, restart it so the new tools register. ### Connection succeeds but no tools appear Reconnect SharePoint from the dashboard, then start a fresh chat if the runtime still has the old tool catalog loaded. ### "Tool schema not loaded yet" error when calling SharePoint tools SharePoint tool schemas load on demand the first time a tool runs and are cached after that, so this error usually clears on its own: wait a few seconds and retry the same request. If every SharePoint call keeps failing with it in a fresh chat, reconnect from the dashboard, and contact support if it still persists — that pattern points to a configuration problem on our side, not something you can fix by reconnecting again. ### SharePoint returns 403 or "permission denied" on one action while others work Two usual causes. The connected account may not have access to the specific workspace, inbox, store, or project in the request — check that first. If access looks right, the agent may have sent a placeholder value (like "YOUR_ID" or an example id from documentation) instead of a real one: ask it to run a list or search tool first, then retry the action with a real id from those results. Most failures at this stage are one of these two, not ClawLink bugs. ### OAuth finished in the browser but the account is still missing Try reconnecting SharePoint and complete the consent flow in the same browser session. Partial OAuth approvals or switching accounts mid-flow can leave the connection incomplete. ### Is there a OpenClaw SharePoint integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to SharePoint: link your SharePoint account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the SharePoint API through 12 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I add SharePoint to OpenClaw with ClawLink? Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink SharePoint skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize SharePoint. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files or API keys. ### How long does it take to connect SharePoint to OpenClaw? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to SharePoint in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring SharePoint up myself? The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual OAuth app setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for OpenClaw. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want SharePoint working from chat. ### OpenClaw installed the SharePoint skill but can't call the tools The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about SharePoint, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account.
