Microsoft 365 connector for Claude brings enterprise search to users

Investing.com -- Anthropic announced a new integration between its AI assistant Claude and Microsoft 365, enabling enterprise search capabilities across connected productivity tools.

The integration allows Claude to access and utilize context from documents, emails, and calendar information directly in conversations, helping users spend less time gathering information and more time on decision-making and impactful work.

Through the Microsoft 365 connector for Claude (MCP), users can connect Claude with Microsoft SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook, and Teams. This integration enables users to search and analyze documents across sites and libraries without manually uploading files, access email threads, analyze communication patterns, and search through chat conversations and meeting summaries.

Anthropic is also introducing enterprise search through a dedicated, shared project personalized with each company’s name. This feature includes custom prompts to help Claude search effectively across company tools and provides simple setup steps for connecting essential work applications.

When users ask Claude questions, the AI can search across connected data sources, drawing from the organization’s collective knowledge. This capability is particularly useful for onboarding new team members, analyzing patterns in customer feedback, and identifying internal experts on specific topics.

The Microsoft 365 connector is available now for all Claude Team and Enterprise plan customers. Administrators must enable the connector before individual users can authenticate with their accounts. Enterprise search is enabled for all Team and Enterprise organizations, with administrators responsible for customizing the project and curating data sources.
