This Claude Cowork tutorial shows you how to connect Claude to Microsoft 365 so it can finally take action across Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, and your calendar, not just read them.
⚡ Set up Zapier MCP ➜ https://m365zapiermcp.kevinstratvert.com and the Zapier SDK ➜ https://m365zapiersdk.kevinstratvert.com
First, you’ll set up the built-in Microsoft 365 connector in Claude Cowork and watch it search your Outlook mail and pull a table straight out of a SharePoint file, so you can see what the built-in connector already gives you.
Next, you’ll switch on Claude’s native write tools so it can draft an email reply for your approval and send it, book and reschedule a Teams meeting on your calendar, and create a Word doc and upload it to SharePoint, all while you approve every action before it happens.
Then, you’ll connect Zapier MCP to unlock the first thing the built-in connector still can’t do: posting a message straight into a Microsoft Teams channel.
Afterward, you’ll add the Zapier SDK to close the last gap, email attachments, so Claude can find an email, download the file, and add your signature.
