Microsoft Word is Microsoft's document editor for creating and managing DOCX files in OneDrive and SharePoint. It provides familiar editing and cloud storage features for organized document workflows.

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 Word 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 1,700+ 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 Word 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 Word

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

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

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 Word or request any Microsoft Word-related task. It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

5. Done!

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

The Microsoft Word 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 Word account. It provides structured and secure access to DOCX files in OneDrive and SharePoint, so your agent can find, read, create, edit, and share documents on your behalf.

  • Document discovery and reading: Have your agent find DOCX files in OneDrive or SharePoint, inspect their paragraphs, formatting, tables, images, links, and tracked changes, and review retained document versions.
  • Document creation and editing: Let the agent create new Word documents, append text and tables, replace text across runs, edit formatting and lists, and update existing content.
  • Templates and document workflows: Direct your agent to fill placeholders in a Word template, add comments to specific paragraphs, accept or reject tracked changes, and export a DOCX file to PDF.
  • File organization and version control: Instruct your agent to copy, move, rename, replace, delete, or restore DOCX files while preserving access to available document versions.
  • Sharing and collaboration: Have your agent create view, edit, or embed sharing links and invite named recipients with read or write access to a DOCX file.

Way Forward

With Microsoft Word 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.
