Connect OneDrive to Claude Code
Make Claude create, organize, and update files in OneDrive. From the terminal, inside the sessions where you already work.
How do you connect OneDrive to Claude Code?
Claude Code reaches outside tools through MCP servers. To connect OneDrive, you add a OneDrive MCP server: a small hosted service that exposes OneDrive's data and actions over the Model Context Protocol. With a custom connector we build for you, that is one command in the terminal, then an OAuth sign-in with your own OneDrive account. No API keys pasted into config files.
claude mcp add --transport http onedrive https://your-connector-url/mcpThen run /mcp inside a Claude Code session to sign in. Add it with --scope project and the connector is checked into the repo for your whole team.
What can Claude Code do in OneDrive once connected?
Full read-write OneDrive access lets Claude create a new file, drop it in the right folder, rename and move files, update existing content, and generate a share link once you approve. The organizing and drafting that used to mean manual upload and filing happen where the files already live, with Claude working inside your folder structure.
- Create a new document and place it in a chosen folder
- Move, rename, or organize files and folders to tidy a workspace
- Upload a generated summary or report into a specific folder
- Update the contents of an existing file in place
- Generate a share link for a file or folder after you approve it
- Find every file matching a query and propose how to reorganize them
One connector, every Claude surface
The connector we build is a remote MCP server, which is the same standard claude.ai and Claude Desktop use. Add it once and the same OneDrive access works in Claude Code for you, in claude.ai for the rest of the team, and in Claude Desktop. One build, one set of permissions, one monthly plan covering all of them.
Build it yourself, or have it built?
If you live in the terminal, you can absolutely write your own MCP server against the OneDrive API. The protocol is open. What you take on is everything around the happy path: OAuth token refresh, hosting, monitoring, keeping up when OneDrive changes its API and when the MCP spec itself moves, and scoping write actions so an agent can never do more than you intended. We build OneDrive connectors with separated read and write tools and approval gates on destructive actions, then host and maintain them so they keep working while you work.
