How to integrate Apify MCP with Hermes

Connect Hermes to Apify MCP. Create a new dataset for scraped results, fetch items from a specific apify dataset, and more using natural language, with authentication handled for you.

Api Key

Apify is a cloud platform for building, deploying, and managing web scraping and automation tools called Actors. It lets you automate data extraction and workflow tasks at scale—no infrastructure headaches.

182 Tools

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 Apify 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 1,500+ 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 Apify 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 Apify

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

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

5. Done!

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

The Apify MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Apify account. It provides structured and secure access to your Actors, tasks, runs, builds, datasets, and webhooks, so your agent can run automations, manage Actors, retrieve scraped data, monitor runs, and configure webhooks on your behalf.

  • Actor and task management: Have your agent create, inspect, update, or delete Actors and reusable Actor tasks.
  • Automation runs and monitoring: Let the agent run Actors or tasks, check recent run details, update run status messages, and abort or delete runs.
  • Build management: Direct your agent to build Actors, inspect available or default builds, and remove builds you no longer need.
  • Dataset access and organization: Instruct your agent to create datasets, retrieve scraped items, review dataset details, and rename datasets.
  • Webhooks and specialized data collection: Have your agent create task webhooks, list or delete existing webhooks, discover G2 products, or check and purchase CARFAX reports by VIN.

Way Forward

With Apify 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.

If you run into trouble or want to share what you've built, join the community or check out the Docs for deeper configuration options.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Apify MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Apify tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Apify and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

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 Apify tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Apify 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.

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 Apify data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
