The Fleece AI Brain SharePoint connector syncs the documents in your connected SharePoint and OneDrive libraries into a local-first knowledge base of plain Markdown and SQLite on your own machine. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF and text files are downloaded and their text extracted, so each file becomes a readable note titled by its name with a link back to the original. From there, any MCP-compatible AI app such as Claude Desktop or Cursor can answer from what your intranet actually says, with the source one click away.
What syncs from SharePoint
Every document arrives as a knowledge node — an ordinary file you can open, link and search, not a link buried three folders deep.
Documents from your libraries
Files across your SharePoint sites and OneDrive are enumerated through Microsoft Graph's delta feed.
Extracted full text
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, CSV and text files are downloaded and their text pulled out, so the content is searchable — not just the filename.
Titles and links
Each note keeps the file name as its title and a link back to the document in SharePoint.
Recent changes first
The first sync backfills the last 90 days by modified date; later runs page through what changed.
Updated in place
When a document is edited, its note is refreshed rather than duplicated — matched on the file's modified time.
Media indexed, not extracted
Images, audio and video aren't text, so they are kept by name and link rather than parsed for content.
Connect SharePoint in four steps
No migration, no export job — one sign-in from the desktop app.
- 01
Install Fleece AI Brain
Download the desktop app for macOS, Windows or Linux and open your vault — a folder of plain Markdown files on your machine.
- 02
Open Connectors and pick SharePoint
In the app, open the connectors panel, choose SharePoint, and sign in with your Microsoft account. OAuth is brokered securely; your documents never pass through our servers.
- 03
Point it at your libraries
The connector reads the SharePoint and OneDrive of the account you sign in with. The first sync reaches back 90 days by modified date, then keeps up with edits.
- 04
Let it sync — then ask
Sync runs in the background and stays up to date. Point Claude Desktop, Cursor or any MCP app at your Brain and ask what the current policy actually says.
Published once, found never.
SharePoint is where a document goes to be official and then to disappear. The onboarding checklist, the security policy, the deck that explains the pricing model — each was published, announced in a channel, and then lost to a folder tree only its author can navigate. People rewrite what already exists because searching is slower than starting over.
The SharePoint connector reads what the intranet holds and turns it into notes your AI can actually retrieve. The current policy is no longer a link nobody clicks — it is a note your agents cite, with a way back to the source in SharePoint.
Your documents reach your disk, not our servers.
Sign-in is brokered through Pipedream Connect, but the Microsoft Graph API is then called directly from the desktop app whenever your account exposes a raw token; managed-OAuth accounts route through Pipedream's proxy instead. Downloads and text extraction happen on your machine, and the documents land in your vault and never transit Fleece's servers.
That is the whole trust model: we can't read your intranet, period. The extracted notes are yours, they open in Obsidian or any editor, and if you ever leave, you take everything with you.
- +Microsoft Graph called from your device or a proxy — raw documents never transit our servers
- +Text extraction runs locally; the vault = plain .md files + SQLite, 100% Obsidian-compatible
- +Works offline once synced; cloud sync is optional and end-to-end encrypted
Give every AI app your intranet.
One copy-paste connects the Brain to Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Zed or agents you build. From then on, "what does our refund policy say?" is answered from the actual document — with the source note, and the SharePoint link, one click away.
Because every agent and tool reads the same graph, a new hire or a new agent starts with the intranet already in memory. On Teams, the organization map also shows which agents used that knowledge and what they cost.
SharePoint connector — FAQ
Do my SharePoint documents pass through Fleece's servers?+
No. Sign-in is brokered through Pipedream Connect, but the Microsoft Graph API is called directly from the desktop app (or through a proxy for managed-OAuth accounts), and text extraction runs on your machine. Documents land in your local vault and never transit Fleece's servers; we never see or store them.
Which documents does the connector sync?+
The files in the SharePoint and OneDrive libraries of the account you connect. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, CSV and text files have their text extracted; images, audio and video are kept by name and link. The first sync only reaches back 90 days by modified date, so you can scope it by which account you connect.
Does it change or upload anything to SharePoint?+
No. The connector is read-only: it downloads documents to read them into your knowledge base and never edits, moves, uploads or deletes anything in SharePoint.
How often does it sync, and does it pick up edits?+
Sync runs in the background and resumes from where it left off, paging through what changed. When a document is edited, its note is refreshed in place rather than duplicated — matched on the file's modified time.
Which plan do I need to connect SharePoint?+
The local brain is free, and connectors are the paid lever: Solo (€12/month) includes up to 3 connected tools, Pro (€24/month) makes them unlimited with auto-sync. Every plan starts with a 14-day trial, no card required.
How do I ask Claude or Cursor about a document?+
Connect the Brain to Claude Desktop, Cursor or any MCP-compatible app with a single copy-paste. Your AI then answers from the synced SharePoint knowledge, citing the exact document it drew from.
Can I open the synced documents outside the app?+
Yes. Each document becomes an ordinary Markdown note in your vault, fully Obsidian-compatible — open, edit or grep it with any tool, and take it with you if you ever leave.
What happens if I disconnect SharePoint?+
Sync stops, and everything already in your vault stays yours — the notes are local files, not a mirror that vanishes with the connection.
Stop burying documents in the intranet.
Connect SharePoint in one sign-in and give your whole AI stack the text of every document your team publishes.
