ShareGate MCP Brings Microsoft 365 Governance Into Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot

Microsoft 365 migration and governance platform provider ShareGate  has announced the availability of ShareGate MCP, the first solution that lets IT pros govern Microsoft 365 directly from their AI tool of choice. Starting today, ShareGate Protect users can get early access from Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot using a library of ready-to-use prompts.

Assessing, identifying and fixing Microsoft 365 sprawl typically forces IT teams to jump between tools that don’t talk to each other, making it nearly impossible to stay on top of governance. With the new solution, governance data, risk signals and remediation actions are accessible through a single conversation in any language, allowing tenant issues to be identified and addressed without breaking the workflow.

ShareGate MCP delivers both tenant intelligence through natural language conversation, and enables users to create branded, customizable governance reports with PDF export built in, all from a single prompt. The company added that in July, it will roll out the ability to create governance policy through conversational prompts, and offer natural language previews before code executes.

A 2026 ShareGate survey found that 71% of IT professionals say their governance workload has grown since deploying AI.

“Governance has never lived in one place because nothing was ever built to hold it,” said Benjamin Niaulin, VP of Product at ShareGate. “AI tools just became another admin center IT had to open to answer one question. With ShareGate MCP, we made a different bet: collapse the work into the tool you’re already in.”

ShareGate MCP is available today for ShareGate Protect users with a manual install process. Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot connectors will roll out in the coming weeks. Starting today, ShareGate Protect users can get early access from Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot using a library of ready-to-use prompts.

“Everyone is racing to adopt AI, and doing it right is hard. AI is creating a whole new surface, with a whole new level of exposure, and governance has never mattered more,” said Simon De Baene, CEO and co-founder of Workleap. “For a long time, it lived in a dusty Word document nobody read. Then came tools trying their best to give some kind of visibility. But a solution you have to open every morning and click around can’t keep up with the pace of what’s happening. Governance needs to be always-on and fully integrated in your daily workflows. ShareGate MCP is how we make that real. We’re enabling an agentic approach to governance that just wasn’t possible before.”
