Open-source tool grants AI read-only access to Microsoft Loop content

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has created an open-source solution, loop-reader-mcp, to enable AI assistants to access Microsoft Loop content despite the lack of a direct content API. The solution addresses two main challenges: Microsoft Loop's absence of a content API and the storage of Loop pages within SharePoint Embedded. It circumvents the permission issues by splitting discovery and retrieval operations, using a user's delegated token for search and an app-only identity for content retrieval, ensuring users only access content they are authorized to see.

IMPACT Enables AI assistants to integrate with and extract information from Microsoft Loop workspaces.
