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 teams 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 1,000+ 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 teams 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 teams

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

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

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

The Microsoft Teams 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 Teams account. It provides structured and secure access to your Teams workspace, so your agent can perform actions like managing chats, sending messages, creating meetings, and organizing teams on your behalf.

  • Automated chat and message management: Let your agent retrieve, read, and summarize messages from any Teams chat, or fetch all chats you’re part of for quick updates.
  • Team and channel organization: Easily create new teams, add members, get channel details, or archive and delete teams to keep your workspace organized.
  • Scheduling online meetings: Have your agent schedule standalone Teams meetings instantly, making it simple to coordinate with colleagues or clients without manual setup.
  • Granular access to team and chat details: Fetch full information about specific teams, channels, or even individual messages with precision, enabling rich contextual workflows.
  • Seamless membership and collaboration management: Add or update members in teams with a prompt, ensuring the right people always have access to the conversations and resources they need.

Way Forward

With Microsoft teams 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.

How to build Microsoft teams MCP Agent with another framework

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Microsoft teams MCP?

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

Can I use Tool Router MCP with Hermes?

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 teams tools.

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Microsoft teams while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Microsoft teams 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.

How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

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 teams data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
