This guide explains the easiest and most robust way to connect your Adafruit IO 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. ## Also integrate Adafruit IO with - [ChatGPT Work](https://composio.dev/toolkits/adafruit_io/framework/chatgpt) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/adafruit_io/framework/claude-cowork) ## TL;DR ### 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. ## Connect Adafruit IO to Hermes ### Integrating Adafruit IO 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 ``` ## What is the Adafruit IO MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Adafruit IO MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Adafruit IO account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Adafruit IO operations on your behalf. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `ADAFRUIT_IO_ADD_FEEDS_TO_GROUP` | Add Feeds to Group | Sequentially add 1-10 existing feeds to one group using one documented provider request per feed. This is non-atomic: processing stops after the first failed or ambiguous attempt, while earlier successes remain applied and are returned with the last confirmed normalized group state. | | `ADAFRUIT_IO_CREATE_DASHBOARD` | Create Dashboard | Create a dashboard for visualizing and controlling feed data. | | `ADAFRUIT_IO_CREATE_FEED` | Create Feed | Create a feed, optionally within an existing group. | | `ADAFRUIT_IO_CREATE_GROUP` | Create Group | Create a group for organizing feeds. | | `ADAFRUIT_IO_DELETE_DASHBOARD` | Delete Dashboard | Permanently delete one dashboard by exact key. | | `ADAFRUIT_IO_DELETE_DATA_POINT` | Delete Data Point | Permanently delete one feed data point by ID. | | `ADAFRUIT_IO_DELETE_DATA_POINTS` | Delete Data Points | Permanently delete 1-30 feed data points sequentially through Adafruit IO's single-data-point DELETE endpoint, bounded by the Free-plan limit of 30 data mutations per minute. This operation is not atomic: each ID has an independent outcome, and successful earlier deletions are not rolled back. Processing may continue after an independent malformed-ID or not-found response, but stops after authentication, permission, rate-limit, server, unexpected, or ambiguous transport failures; remaining IDs are marked not_attempted. | | `ADAFRUIT_IO_DELETE_FEED` | Delete Feed | Permanently delete one feed and its retained data by exact feed key. | | `ADAFRUIT_IO_DELETE_GROUP` | Delete Group | Permanently delete one group by exact key. | | `ADAFRUIT_IO_GET_ACCOUNT_STATUS` | Get Account Status | Return compact identity, plan limits, and current data-write throttle usage for the connected Adafruit IO account. | | `ADAFRUIT_IO_GET_DASHBOARDS` | Get Dashboards | List dashboards, or retrieve one dashboard and its blocks by key. | | `ADAFRUIT_IO_GET_DATA_POINT` | Get Data Point | Retrieve one feed data point by its exact ID. | | `ADAFRUIT_IO_GET_FEEDS` | Get Feeds | List feeds, or retrieve one feed by key with optional data summary details. | | `ADAFRUIT_IO_GET_GROUPS` | Get Groups | List groups with feed summaries, or retrieve one group by key. | | `ADAFRUIT_IO_LIST_FEED_DATA` | List Feed Data | Return one newest-first page of feed data with an opaque cursor for the next older page. | | `ADAFRUIT_IO_PUBLISH_FEED_DATA` | Publish Feed Data | Publish one or multiple timestamped values to a feed, using the batch endpoint only when multiple points are supplied. | | `ADAFRUIT_IO_REMOVE_FEEDS_FROM_GROUP` | Remove Feeds from Group | Sequentially remove 1-10 feeds from one group using one documented provider request per feed. This is non-atomic: processing stops after the first failed or ambiguous attempt, while earlier successes remain applied and are returned with the last confirmed normalized group state. | | `ADAFRUIT_IO_UPDATE_DASHBOARD` | Update Dashboard | Update an existing dashboard by exact dashboard key. | | `ADAFRUIT_IO_UPDATE_DATA_POINT` | Update Data Point | Replace the value and optional metadata of one existing feed data point. | | `ADAFRUIT_IO_UPDATE_FEED` | Update Feed | Update an existing feed by exact feed key. | | `ADAFRUIT_IO_UPDATE_GROUP` | Update Group | Update an existing group by exact group key. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Adafruit IO MCP server provides comprehensive access to Adafruit IO operations through Composio. Once connected, Hermes can perform all major Adafruit IO actions on your behalf using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward With Adafruit IO 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.

With a standalone Adafruit IO MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Adafruit IO tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Adafruit IO 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 Adafruit IO tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Adafruit IO while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Adafruit IO 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 Adafruit IO data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
