Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation app for creating and delivering slide decks. It helps teams turn ideas into polished, visual stories with flexible design tools.

Introduction

Hermes is a 24/7 autonomous agent that lives on your computer or server — it remembers what it learns and evolves as your usage grows.

This guide explains the easiest and most robust way to connect your Microsoft PowerPoint account to Hermes. You can do this through either Composio Connect CLI or Composio Connect MCP. For personal use we recommend the CLI, but you won't go wrong with MCP either.

What is Composio Connect?

Composio Connect is a consumer offering that lets anyone plug 1,500+ applications directly into their agent harness — including Hermes. It can:

  • Search and load tools from relevant toolkits on-demand, reducing context usage.
  • Chain multiple tools to accomplish complex workflows via a remote workbench, without excessive back-and-forth with the LLM.
  • Manage app authentication end-to-end with zero manual overhead.

Integrating Microsoft PowerPoint with Hermes

Using Composio Connect CLI

1. Install the Composio CLI

Run the install script directly, or paste https://composio.dev/hermes into your Hermes chat box to have it installed for you.

bash
curl -fsSL https://composio.dev/install | bash
Hermes authenticating with Composio

2. Authenticate

Once the CLI is installed, ask Hermes to authenticate with Composio.

3. Connect to Microsoft PowerPoint

Ask your agent to connect to Microsoft PowerPoint, or simply request any Microsoft PowerPoint-related task. Hermes will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

4. Done. You're all set with a new Microsoft PowerPoint connection.

Using Composio Connect MCP

1. Get your MCP URL and API Key

Go to dashboard.composio.dev and copy your Connect MCP URL and API key.

Copy MCP URL and API key from Composio dashboard

2. Open the Hermes config file

bash
nano ~/.hermes/config.yaml

3. Add the Composio Connect MCP server

bash
mcp_servers:
  composio:
    url: "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp"
    headers:
      x-consumer-api-key: "YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY"
    connect_timeout: 60
    timeout: 180

Save with Ctrl + O, Enter, then exit with Ctrl + X.

4. Restart your Hermes agent

Once restarted, ask your agent to connect to Microsoft PowerPoint or request any Microsoft PowerPoint-related task. It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

5. Done!

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.

Way Forward

With Microsoft PowerPoint connected, Hermes can now act on your behalf whenever it detects a relevant task or you ask it to.

From here, you can extend Hermes further:

  • Connect more apps: Calendar, Slack, Notion, Linear, and hundreds of others are available through the same Composio Connect setup. Each new integration compounds what Hermes can do for you.
  • Build workflows across tools: Once multiple apps are connected, Hermes can chain actions together — turn an email into a calendar invite, a Slack message into a Linear ticket, or a meeting note into a follow-up draft.
  • Let it learn your patterns: The more you use Hermes, the better it gets at anticipating how you'd handle recurring tasks. Give it feedback on drafts and decisions, and it will adapt.

TOOLS

Supported Tools

Every Microsoft PowerPoint action and event your agent gets out of the box.

Check In Presentation

Check in a checked-out PowerPoint DriveItem and make its version available according to the SharePoint/document-library configuration.

Check Out Presentation

Check out a PowerPoint DriveItem where its SharePoint/document-library configuration supports checkout, preventing others from editing and hiding changes until check-in.

Copy Presentation

Start an asynchronous Microsoft Graph copy of a PowerPoint presentation.

Copy Presentation and Wait

Submit a PowerPoint presentation copy with a required unique filename, then boundedly search the resolved destination folder for an exact-name candidate.

Create Folder

Create a folder for PowerPoint files in the current or an explicitly selected accessible drive.

Create Presentation

Create a bounded macro-free PPTX from one to 50 structured slides containing titles, plain text, nested bullets, rectangular tables, uploaded PNG images, and optional speaker notes.

Create Presentation Sharing Link

Create or return a view or edit sharing link for a PowerPoint presentation in the current or an explicitly selected drive.

Delete Folder

Move a folder to the Microsoft Graph recycle bin after a metadata preflight proves the DriveItem has a folder facet.

Delete Presentation

Move a PowerPoint presentation to the Microsoft Graph recycle bin.

Download Presentation

Download a PowerPoint file in its original format or export it as PDF or JPG.

Download Presentation Version

Verify that the selected DriveItem is a PPTX, then download one retained previous version as a bounded PPTX file.

Fill PowerPoint Template

Create one presentation from an existing designed PPTX template by replacing unique literal {{tokens}} simultaneously across reachable slides and speaker notes.

Find Presentations

List a folder or search a drive and return only PowerPoint files.

Get Current Drive

Return the signed-in user's default OneDrive ID and basic owner, type, and quota details.

Get Presentation

Return metadata for one PowerPoint file by item ID, including its current eTag for concurrency-safe updates.

Get Presentation Content

Read bounded, text-first semantic content from a current macro-free PPTX, including slides, shapes, text, safe hyperlinks, alt text, image metadata, tables, and speaker notes.

Get Presentation Layouts

Download and validate the current macro-free PPTX, then return its complete bounded slide-layout catalog.

Get Presentation Thumbnails

List generated thumbnail metadata for a PowerPoint presentation.

Get Presentation Version

Retrieve compact metadata for one retained or current version of a PowerPoint file.

Invite People to Presentation

Grant named people read or write access to a PowerPoint presentation.

List retained versions of a PowerPoint file in Microsoft Graph's newest-first order, one provider page at a time.

Replace Presentation File

Replace the bytes of an existing PowerPoint DriveItem with a valid, non-macro-enabled PPTX package no larger than 250 MiB, optionally requiring a matching eTag.

Restore Presentation Version

Restore a retained previous version of a PowerPoint presentation as a new current version while preserving its version history.

Transform Presentation Text and Properties

Transform text, slide order, or embedded core document properties inside a macro-free PPTX, then conditionally replace the same file.

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. Hermes 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.
