Cursor

How to use Microsoft SharePoint with Cursor

You want Microsoft SharePoint inside Cursor so it can find and summarize team documents, maintain a shared project workbook, prepare and share a project presentation, and organize a SharePoint document library — without you copy-pasting between tabs. Here is the whole setup, once.

Create your Microsoft SharePoint gateway

The gateway is the thing Cursor connects to, and it is where you decide which Microsoft SharePoint tools an agent may use. You create it once and every client reuses it.

Create an Arcade account

Sign up and open the dashboard. The free tier is enough to follow this through.
Create an MCP Gateway and select your Microsoft SharePoint tools

In the dashboard, create a gateway and pick the Microsoft SharePoint tools you want to expose. The gateway is what your client connects to, and it is where tool access is decided.
Copy your gateway URL

Every client below needs it.
```
https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>
```

Create a Microsoft SharePoint gateway Opens the gateway builder in your Arcade dashboard.

Connect the gateway to Cursor

Heads up

Cursor does not refresh MCP OAuth tokens automatically. For a persistent connection, set Authorization to “Arcade Headers” on the gateway in the dashboard.

Open MCP settings

Command Palette (⌘⇧P / Ctrl+Shift+P) → Open MCP Settings, then click “New MCP Server”.

Add the gateway to mcpServers

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-arcade": {
      "url": "https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>"
    }
  }
}
