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 One drive 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 One drive 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 One drive

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

4. Done. You're all set with a new One drive 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 One drive MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The One drive MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your OneDrive account. It provides structured and secure access to your cloud files and folders, so your agent can perform actions like uploading documents, sharing files, managing storage, and retrieving version histories on your behalf.

  • File and folder management: Effortlessly copy, move, or delete files and folders, keeping your OneDrive organized with just a prompt.
  • Easy sharing and collaboration: Instantly generate secure sharing links for documents or folders, making collaboration with others seamless.
  • File download and preview: Have your agent fetch files or retrieve visual thumbnails for quick previews and streamlined access.
  • Access control and permissions review: Check who can view or edit any file or folder, and manage sharing permissions without manual clicks.
  • Version tracking and quota monitoring: Retrieve version histories for files and monitor your storage quota to stay on top of changes and space usage.

Way Forward

With One drive 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.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and One drive MCP?

With a standalone One drive MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of One drive tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from One drive 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 One drive tools.

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for One drive while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which One drive 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 One drive data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
