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 Apaleo 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 Apaleo 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 Apaleo

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

4. Done. You're all set with a new Apaleo 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 Apaleo or request any Apaleo-related task. It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

5. Done!

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

The Apaleo MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Apaleo account. It provides structured and secure access to your property management operations, so your agent can perform actions like managing properties, handling units, checking availability, and automating setup tasks on your behalf.

  • Property management and archiving: Enable your agent to create, clone, or archive properties, letting you quickly scale or reorganize your portfolio as your business evolves.
  • Unit and unit group operations: Let your agent create new units or unit groups, check if specific units exist, and manage all aspects of your inventory with ease.
  • Attribute and setup automation: Ask your agent to create or verify unit attributes, ensuring your property data is always up-to-date and consistent.
  • Bulk unit creation: Allow your agent to generate multiple units in one go, following custom naming rules, to save you time during onboarding or expansion.
  • Property cloning and rapid deployment: Have your agent clone existing properties with all inventory and rate plans, making it simple to launch new locations based on proven setups.

Way Forward

With Apaleo 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.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Apaleo MCP?

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

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

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