What is MCP and how to use it to spot Microsoft 365 governance risks
With Jim Ehrenberg, Microsoft Certified SharePoint & M365 Architect at SharePoint Pros
How do you keep your Microsoft 365 environment secure when AI can now expose your governance gaps faster than you can fix them?
The risks have always been there: broad permissions, ownerless sites, stale sharing links. But Copilot and AI agents can now surface them instantly to anyone who asks the right question. The good news is that so can you.
MCP is an open protocol that connects your AI tool of choice directly to your Microsoft 365 tenant data. And it's becoming the standard way for AI tools to talk to the systems you already use.
In this session, Jim Ehrenberg from SharePoint Pros will break down what MCP is and how it works, then show you how ShareGate MCP lets you run M365 governance queries and remediation tasks directly inside your AI tools.
On the agenda:
- Why AI makes oversharing a bigger problem now
- What MCP is and how it works
- MCP vs. Built-in reporting—what’s actually different
- See ShareGate MCP in action
