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 Anchor browser 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 Anchor browser 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 Anchor browser

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

4. Done. You're all set with a new Anchor browser 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.

Copy MCP URL and API key from Composio dashboard

2. Open the Hermes config file

bash
nano ~/.hermes/config.yaml

3. Add the Composio Connect MCP server

bash
mcp_servers:
  composio:
    url: "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp"
    headers:
      x-consumer-api-key: "YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY"
    connect_timeout: 60
    timeout: 180

Save with Ctrl + O, Enter, then exit with Ctrl + X.

4. Restart your Hermes agent

Once restarted, ask your agent to connect to Anchor browser or request any Anchor browser-related task. It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

5. Done!

What is the Anchor browser MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Anchor browser MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Anchor browser account. It provides structured and secure access to powerful web automation features, so your agent can fetch web content, manage browser sessions, control profiles, and interact with extensions on your behalf.

  • Automated webpage content retrieval: Instruct your agent to browse to any URL and fetch the fully rendered page content in HTML or markdown, enabling easy scraping or summarization.
  • Session and profile management: Let your agent create, list, or delete browser profiles, as well as start, end, or monitor multiple browsing sessions for different workflows or user contexts.
  • Browser extension control: Have the agent list all installed browser extensions, making it easy to audit and manage your browser environment programmatically.
  • Resource and file listing: Ask your agent to retrieve a list of files or resources uploaded during browser automation tasks, ensuring nothing gets lost in the shuffle.
  • Comprehensive session oversight: Quickly get an overview of all active browser sessions, their statuses, and terminate any or all sessions instantly for security or resource management needs.

Way Forward

With Anchor browser 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.

How to build Anchor browser MCP Agent with another framework

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Anchor browser MCP?

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

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Anchor browser while using Tool Router?

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