Can I access the network from Emacs? I use ERC as of now.

yup. https://github.com/alphapapa/matrix-client.el is your best bet (it probably doesn't support SSO though, but should be pretty easy to add).

Thanks for sharing. Actually, I searched MELPA before posting my question. It is time to support this package to get included into MELPA/ELPA.
