Introduction

Atomic Agent is an open-source AI agent that runs on your machine and supports local models through llama.cpp. Connect it to 1,500+ apps through Composio, including Microsoft PowerPoint.

This guide uses Atomic Agent's built-in Composio integration. You need Atomic Agent v0.5.6 or later, your own Composio API key, and a Microsoft PowerPoint account. See the Atomic Agent documentation for installation instructions.

How Atomic Agent connects to Microsoft PowerPoint

Atomic Agent connects to Composio's Tool Router over Streamable HTTP MCP. It discovers the tools needed for your request, and Composio handles account authentication.

Execution and account-connection tools follow Atomic Agent's configured approval policy. Review any approval prompt before allowing an action on your connected account.

Connect Microsoft PowerPoint to Atomic Agent

  1. Sign up or sign in to the Composio dashboard. Copy your API key.
  2. In Atomic Agent, open the Integrations tab and select Composio. Select API key, press e, paste the key, and press Enter. The tools become available immediately, without a restart.
  3. Ask Atomic Agent to do something in Microsoft PowerPoint. It searches Composio for the right tool.
  4. On first use, open the sign-in link returned in the chat. Connect your Microsoft PowerPoint account, then return to Atomic Agent to continue.

Headless setup

Add the following line to ~/.atomic-agent/.env, replacing YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY with your key. Start Atomic Agent after saving the file.

bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY

What is the Microsoft PowerPoint MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Microsoft PowerPoint MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Microsoft PowerPoint account. It provides structured and secure access to your presentations and related OneDrive files, so your agent can create, inspect, edit, share, and organize presentations on your behalf.

  • Create and update presentations: Have your agent build new PPTX presentations with structured slides, titles, bullets, tables, images, and speaker notes, or update existing slide content, text, order, and document properties.
  • Find and understand slide content: Let the agent search for PowerPoint files, inspect presentation metadata, read slide text and notes, review shapes, tables, images, hyperlinks, alt text, layouts, and retrieve presentation thumbnails.
  • Manage presentation files: Direct your agent to upload, download, copy, rename, move, organize, or delete PowerPoint files and folders, including exporting presentations as PDF or JPG.
  • Share presentations with others: Instruct your agent to create view or edit sharing links and grant named people read or write access to a presentation.
  • Work with presentation versions: Have your agent check presentations in or out, list and inspect retained versions, download a previous version, or restore one as the current version.

Use Microsoft PowerPoint from Atomic Agent

With your account connected, ask Atomic Agent to work with Microsoft PowerPoint in natural language. You can connect more apps through the same Composio integration as you need them.

Visit the Atomic Agent website or inspect the Atomic Agent source code.

Troubleshooting

Why is my API key rejected?

Copy the key directly from the Composio dashboard. Atomic Agent requires ASCII characters because it sends the key in an HTTP header. Remove any extra characters introduced when copying.

Why are Composio tools unavailable after saving a key?

Check that you use Atomic Agent v0.5.6 or later and that Composio is enabled in your configuration. A "composio": { "enabled": false } setting disables the integration while keeping the saved key on disk.

Does Composio have a free plan?

The Hobby plan includes 100,000 tool calls per month. Composio-managed OAuth apps have a lower included allowance. See Composio pricing for the current limits that apply to your connection.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Microsoft PowerPoint MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Microsoft PowerPoint tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Microsoft PowerPoint and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. Atomic Agent fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Microsoft PowerPoint tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Microsoft PowerPoint scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Microsoft PowerPoint data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
