Claude saying " I don't have the capability to interact with SharePoint or other external systems directly."

Thank you for sharing this great resource.
I followed your instruction from this YouTube video,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEXoMYuvKWY&t=214s. FYI, running the your .ps1 file as saved under this path, C:\SomeDriveName_GitHubCode\server-sharepoint-main, created my Azure App ID successfully but did not create the .json file. Therefore, I had to use your GitHub repo instruction for constructing it. Below is what it looks like and it is saved under this path, C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Claude.

Having done this, I opened my Claude desktop app and asked this question, "At https://xxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/Floodcontrol, create a list called LatestAINews", but it responded as "I'm unable to create SharePoint lists or access external SharePoint sites directly. I don't have the ability to connect to or modify SharePoint environments, including the site you mentioned at xxxx.sharepoint.com."

Could you please help in resolving this issue?

Hi @astatke ,

Can you confirm that the SharePoint MCP is showing in the list of MCPs and is enabled?

Thank you for your prompt reply.

No I am not seeing that. Attached is what I see. Do I have to have a paid version of the Claude desktop app?

Can you check the logs folder? The logs will likely explain what is wrong with the config
