Share point CLI for AI Agents

CLIs are eating MCPs. The industry is converging on the very same idea. MCPs for all their merit can be token hungry, slow, and unreliable for complex tool chaining. However, coding agents have become incredibly good at working with CLIs, and in fact they are far more comfortable working with CLI tools than MCP. With Composio's Universal CLI, your coding agents can talk to over 1000+ SaaS applications. With Share point, agents can create a new project folder in sharepoint, add a task item to the marketing list, find if john doe exists as a sharepoint user, and more — all without worrying about authentication. This guide walks you through Composio Universal CLI and explains how you can connect it with coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, etc, for end-to-end Share point automation.

Introduction

CLIs are eating MCPs. The industry is converging on the very same idea. MCPs for all their merit can be token hungry, slow, and unreliable for complex tool chaining. However, coding agents have become incredibly good at working with CLIs, and in fact they are far more comfortable working with CLI tools than MCP.

With Composio's Universal CLI, your coding agents can talk to over 1000+ SaaS applications. With Share point, agents can create a new project folder in sharepoint, add a task item to the marketing list, find if john doe exists as a sharepoint user, and more — all without worrying about authentication.

This guide walks you through Composio Universal CLI and explains how you can connect it with coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, etc, for end-to-end Share point automation.

What is Universal CLI and why use it?

The idea behind building the universal CLI is to give agents a single command interface to interact with all your external applications. Here's what you'll get with it:

  • Agent-friendly: Coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode can use CLI tools natively — no MCP setup required.
  • Authentication handled: Connect once via OAuth or API Key, and all CLI commands work with your credentials automatically.
  • Tool discovery: Search, inspect, and execute 20,000+ tools across 1000+ apps from one interface.
  • Trigger support: Use triggers to listen for events across your apps, powered by real-time webhooks or polling under the hood.
  • Type generation: Generate typed schemas for autocomplete and type safety in your projects.

Prerequisites

Install the Composio CLI, authenticate, and initialize your project:

bash
# Install the Composio CLI
curl -fsSL https://composio.dev/install | bash

# Authenticate with Composio
composio login

During login you'll be redirected to sign in page, finish the complete flow and you're all set.

Composio CLI authentication flow

Connecting Share point to Coding Agents via Universal CLI

Once it is installed, it's essentially done. Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, OpenClaw, or any other agent will be able to access the CLI. A few steps to give agents access to your apps.

  1. Launch your Coding Agent — Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, anything you prefer.
  2. Prompt it to "Authenticate with Share point"
  3. Complete the authentication and authorization flow and your Share point integration is all set.
  4. Start asking anything you want.

Universal CLI Commands for Share point

You can also manually execute CLI commands to interact with your Share point.

Connect your Share point account

Link your Share point account and verify the connection:

bash
# Connect your Share point account (opens OAuth flow)
composio connected-accounts link share_point

# Verify the connection
composio connected-accounts list --toolkits share_point

Discover Share point tools

Search and inspect available Share point tools:

bash
# List all available Share point tools
composio tools list --toolkit share_point

# Search for Share point tools by action
composio tools search "share point"

# Inspect a tool's input schema
composio tools info SHARE_POINT_SHAREPOINT_CREATE_FOLDER

Common Share point Actions

Create SharePoint FolderCreates a new folder in sharepoint using the rest api

bash
composio tools execute SHARE_POINT_SHAREPOINT_CREATE_FOLDER \
  --folder_name "<string>"

Create SharePoint ListCreates a new list in sharepoint using the rest api

bash
composio tools execute SHARE_POINT_SHAREPOINT_CREATE_LIST \
  --name "<string>" \
  --template "<string>"

Create SharePoint List ItemCreates a new item in a sharepoint list

bash
composio tools execute SHARE_POINT_SHAREPOINT_CREATE_LIST_ITEM \
  --list_name "<string>" \
  --item_properties "<object>"

Create SharePoint UserCreates a new user in sharepoint

bash
composio tools execute SHARE_POINT_SHAREPOINT_CREATE_USER \
  --email "<string>" \
  --title "<string>" \
  --login_name "<string>"

Generate Type Definitions

Generate typed schemas for Share point tools to get autocomplete and type safety in your project:

bash
# Auto-detect language
composio generate --toolkits share_point

# TypeScript
composio ts generate --toolkits share_point

# Python
composio py generate --toolkits share_point

Tips & Tricks

  • Always inspect a tool's input schema before executing: composio tools info <TOOL_NAME>
  • Pipe output with jq for better readability: composio tools execute TOOL_NAME -d '{}' | jq
  • Set COMPOSIO_API_KEY as an environment variable for CI/CD pipelines
  • Use composio dev logs tools to inspect execution logs and debug issues

Next Steps

  • Try asking your coding agent to perform various Share point operations
  • Explore cross-app workflows by connecting more toolkits
  • Set up triggers for real-time automation
  • Use composio generate for typed schemas in your projects

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The Composio Universal CLI is a single command-line interface that lets coding agents and developers interact with 1000+ SaaS applications. It handles authentication, tool discovery, action execution, and trigger setup — all from the terminal, without needing to configure MCP servers.

Any coding agent that can run shell commands works with the Composio CLI — including Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, OpenClaw, and others. Once the CLI is installed, agents automatically discover and use the composio commands to interact with Share point and other connected apps.

MCP servers require configuration and can be token-heavy for complex workflows. The CLI gives agents a direct, lightweight interface — no server setup needed. Agents simply call composio commands like any other shell tool. It's faster to set up, more reliable for multi-step tool chaining, and works natively with how coding agents already operate.

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Share point data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials for full control.
