Open-source MCP server gives AI read-only Loop access without permission leaks

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer built an open-source MCP server that lets AI assistants read Microsoft Loop pages while respecting user permissions. The server splits discovery (using user tokens) from content retrieval (using app-only identity), preventing unauthorized data access. The solution is available on GitHub under MIT license.

Meridian48 take
The workaround highlights a gap in Microsoft's Loop API, but the permission-splitting pattern is a useful reference for any app needing delegated access to SharePoint Embedded content.
