ShareGate has launched ShareGate MCP for Microsoft 365 governance in AI assistants including ChatGPT, Claude and Microsoft Copilot. The product is aimed at IT professionals managing governance and data exposure risks linked to AI use. Early access is available to ShareGate Protect users through a manual installation process. ShareGate cited its own research showing that 71% of IT professionals reported increased governance workloads after deploying AI. Available functions include tenant intelligence through natural-language prompts, allowing IT teams to identify access exposure, oversharing risks and AI-readiness issues. The product also supports branded governance reports generated from a single prompt, with PDF export and the ability for partners to run reports across several client tenants. Two more functions are due later, including automated governance policy creation through conversational prompts, with policies remaining paused until a human enables them, and in-conversation remediation with a natural-language preview before any change is made. Benjamin Niaulin, Vice President of Product at ShareGate, said the product was built to reduce the fragmentation that often defines Microsoft 365 governance work. Among the partners working with ShareGate on the approach is Avanade.
