Microsoft OneNote for AI agents
Microsoft OneNote is a digital notebook for capturing notes, drawings, and information organized into notebooks and sections. Individuals and teams use it to keep meeting notes and reference material. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.
What agents do in Microsoft OneNote.
Create a page in a section
Add a new OneNote page with meeting notes filed into the right notebook section.
Copy a section to a new notebook
Duplicate a section into another notebook to reuse a template for a new project.
Delete a page with approval
Remove an outdated page from a shared notebook only after the notebook owner approves.
83 Microsoft OneNote actions, graded by risk.
Every Microsoft OneNote action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

Microsoft OneNote in three steps.
- 01Your users connect Microsoft OneNoteThey sign in to Microsoft OneNote on Arc0 Connect, under your brand, and approve the access you ask for.
- 02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “create user OneNote page” can wait for the user, and “delete OneNote page from site” can be denied outright.
- 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Microsoft OneNote through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
await arc0.policies.set('microsoft_onenote', { read: 'allow', write: 'ask', // create_user_pages destructive: 'deny', // delete_site_pages }) # Claude Code: the same connection, one URL $ claude mcp add --transport http arc0 \ https://mcp.arc0.ai/u/u_8f2
How Microsoft OneNote connects.
Users sign in to Microsoft OneNote on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Microsoft OneNote OAuth app, or bring your own so the Microsoft OneNote consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.
The same Microsoft OneNote connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

- OAuth 2.0
- CREDENTIALS
- Per-tenant encrypted vault
- MODEL SEES
- Results only, never credentials

Microsoft OneNote and Arc0, answered.
Can I use Microsoft OneNote with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?
Yes. Connect Microsoft OneNote to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Microsoft OneNote actions you allow.
How do users connect Microsoft OneNote?
Users sign in to Microsoft OneNote on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Microsoft OneNote OAuth app, or bring your own so the Microsoft OneNote consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.
Which Microsoft OneNote actions can my agent take?
83 in total: 45 read, 33 write and 5 destructive, such as “create user OneNote page”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.
Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Microsoft OneNote?
Yes. Actions like “delete OneNote page from site” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.
Can my own backend call Microsoft OneNote too?
Yes. The same Microsoft OneNote connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
