OneNote MCP Tools for Claude Code (7)
These 7 tools become available when you connect OneNote to Claude Code via MCP:
get_notebook
Use this to dive deeper into a container's permissions or basic configurations. Get detailed properties of a specific notebook
get_page_content
By default, OneNote pages are serialized using complex Microsoft Graph HTML formats with proprietary tags. Use this to ingest the actual written text or data. Retrieve the exact raw HTML content of a single page
list_notebooks
Identifies primary containers necessary to navigate the hierarchical structure of OneNote. List all Microsoft OneNote notebooks
list_pages
Results include the bare page metadata (IDs, titles, timestamps), but notably DO NOT include the heavy internal raw HTML content. Used for structural indexing. List all pages contained within a specific section
list_section_groups
Used for navigating highly complex, multi-layered textbook hierarchies inside OneNote. List section groups inside a specific notebook
list_sections
Sections act as the folders containing the raw pages. Requires passing the parent Notebook ID to query the correct topological children. List all sections contained within a specific notebook
search_pages
Useful when navigating deep, unindexed trees where discovering a particular keyword manually would exceed logic boundaries. Search page contents globally across all available notebooks
Example Prompts for OneNote in Claude Code
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Claude Code agent to start working with OneNote immediately.
"Search globally across my entire OneNote environment finding paragraphs explicitly mentioning Project Alpha."
"List all active structural Notebooks visibly mapping currently in my domain."
