Skill Content

# Microsoft 365 Agents SDK (Python)


Build enterprise agents for Microsoft 365, Teams, and Copilot Studio using the Microsoft Agents SDK with aiohttp hosting, AgentApplication routing, streaming responses, and MSAL-based authentication.


Before implementation

- Use the microsoft-docs MCP to verify the latest API signatures for AgentApplication, start_agent_process, and authentication options.

- Confirm package versions on PyPI for the microsoft-agents-* packages you plan to use.


Important Notice - Import Changes


> **⚠️ Breaking Change**: Recent updates have changed the Python import structure from `microsoft.agents` to `microsoft_agents` (using underscores instead of dots).


Installation


bash
pip install microsoft-agents-hosting-core
pip install microsoft-agents-hosting-aiohttp
pip install microsoft-agents-activity
pip install microsoft-agents-authentication-msal
pip install microsoft-agents-copilotstudio-client

Core Workflow: aiohttp-hosted AgentApplication

# Enable logging
ms_agents_logger = logging.getLogger("microsoft_agents")
ms_agents_logger.addHandler(logging.StreamHandler())

# Load configuration

# Create storage and connection manager
STORAGE = MemoryStorage()
CONNECTION_MANAGER = MsalConnectionManager(**agents_sdk_config)
ADAPTER = CloudAdapter(connection_manager=CONNECTION_MANAGER)
AUTHORIZATION = Authorization(STORAGE, CONNECTION_MANAGER, **agents_sdk_config)

# Create AgentApplication
AGENT_APP = AgentApplicationTurnState

    await context.send_activity(f"You said: {context.activity.text}")


@AGENT_APP.error

    await context.send_activity("The agent encountered an error.")


# Server setup
async def entry_point(req: Request) -> Response:
    agent: AgentApplication = req.app["agent_app"]
    adapter: CloudAdapter = req.app["adapter"]
    return await start_agent_process(req, agent, adapter)


APP = Application(middlewares=[jwt_authorization_middleware])
APP.router.add_post("/api/messages", entry_point)
APP["agent_configuration"] = CONNECTION_MANAGER.get_default_connection_configuration()
APP["agent_app"] = AGENT_APP
APP["adapter"] = AGENT_APP.adapter

if __name__ == "__main__":
    run_app(APP, host="localhost", port=environ.get("PORT", 3978))
