This guide explains the easiest and most robust way to connect your Alpha vantage 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 Alpha vantage with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/openclaw) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/alpha_vantage/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### What is Composio Connect?

Access upcoming earnings calendars: Pull comprehensive earnings schedules for the next three months, so you never miss an important financial event. - Retrieve earnings call transcripts with sentiment: Automatically obtain full-text earnings call transcripts for a given company and quarter, including sentiment signals to help you gauge market tone. - Perform historical data research: Let your agent gather time series data for commodities and financial indicators, supporting deeper market research and trend analysis. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_ALL_COMMODITIES` | Get All Commodities Price Index | Tool to retrieve the global price index of all commodities. use when you need monthly, quarterly, or annual aggregated price index data for commodities. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_ALUMINUM` | ALUMINUM | Tool to fetch global aluminum prices. use when you need monthly, quarterly, or annual lme aluminum price data. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_BALANCE_SHEET` | Balance Sheet | Tool to return annual and quarterly balance sheets for a company. use when you need detailed fiscal statements for analysis. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_BRENT` | Brent Crude Oil Prices | Tool to fetch brent crude oil prices. use when you need daily, weekly, or monthly brent price data. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_COFFEE` | Global Coffee Price | Tool to retrieve the global coffee price series. use when you need historical monthly, quarterly, or annual coffee prices. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_COPPER` | COPPER | Tool to fetch global price of copper in monthly, quarterly, and annual intervals. use when you need historical copper price series for analysis. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_CORN` | Corn | Tool to retrieve global price of corn in monthly, quarterly, and annual intervals. use after verifying api key when you need historical corn price data. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_COTTON` | COTTON | Tool to retrieve global cotton prices in monthly, quarterly, and annual intervals. use when you need historical cotton price data. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_EARNINGS_CALENDAR` | Earnings Calendar | Tool to return the earnings calendar for the next three months. use when you need a schedule of upcoming earnings across symbols. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_EARNINGS_CALL_TRANSCRIPT` | Earnings Call Transcript | Tool to retrieve the earnings call transcript for a given company and quarter. use after confirming symbol and quarter. returns full transcript text and associated llm-based sentiment signals. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_FX_DAILY` | FX Daily Time Series | Tool to fetch daily time series (open, high, low, close) for a currency pair. use after confirming base and quote currency codes to retrieve historical daily fx rates. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_FX_MONTHLY` | FX Monthly Time Series | Tool to get monthly time series (open, high, low, close) for a currency pair. use when you need historical monthly forex data for a given currency pair. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_INCOME_STATEMENT` | Income Statement | Tool to fetch annual and quarterly income statements. use after confirming the company symbol. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_IPO_CALENDAR` | IPO Calendar | Tool to retrieve the ipo calendar for the next three months. use when you need a list of upcoming ipo events across markets. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_LISTING_STATUS` | Listing Status | Tool to fetch listing status of us stocks and etfs. use when you need active or delisted securities as of a date. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_NEWS_SENTIMENT` | News Sentiment | Tool to fetch live and historical market news & sentiment. use when you need curated news articles with sentiment scores for specified tickers and topics. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_SPLITS` | Stock Splits | Tool to retrieve historical stock split events for a symbol. use when you need past split dates and ratio details before analyzing corporate actions. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_SUGAR` | Global Sugar Price | Tool to retrieve the global sugar price series. use when you need historical monthly, quarterly, or annual sugar prices. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_TECHNICAL_INDICATOR` | Technical Indicator | Tool to fetch technical indicators for the specified equity or currency pair. use after obtaining time series to compute moving averages or oscillators. | | `ALPHA_VANTAGE_WHEAT` | WHEAT | Tool to fetch global price of wheat. use when you need historical wheat prices in monthly, quarterly, or annual intervals. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Alpha vantage MCP server provides comprehensive access to Alpha vantage operations through Composio. Once connected, Hermes can perform all major Alpha vantage actions on your behalf using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward With Alpha vantage 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 Alpha vantage MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Alpha vantage tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Alpha vantage 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 Alpha vantage tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Alpha vantage while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Alpha vantage 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 Alpha vantage data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
