## 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 Apilio 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.

## 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 Apilio to Hermes

### Integrating Apilio 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 Apilio MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Apilio MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Apilio account. It provides structured and secure access to your smart home variables, conditions, and automations, so your agent can perform actions like checking device states, evaluating logic, and managing automation variables on your behalf.
- Monitor boolean device states: Instantly fetch and review all your boolean variables, so your agent can check if devices are on or off, active or inactive.
- Track and evaluate automation conditions: Have your agent list and assess all available Apilio conditions, making it easy to troubleshoot or optimize home automation rules.
- Access and analyze logicblocks: Let your agent retrieve your logicblocks to understand, manage, or trigger complex automations across your connected devices and services.
- Review numeric variable values: Enable your agent to pull all numeric variables—like temperature, humidity, or energy usage—for smarter, context-aware automation decisions.
- Manage string variables for messaging and triggers: Allow your agent to fetch and utilize string variables, supporting scenarios like status messages, custom notifications, or dynamic automation triggers.

## Supported Tools

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Apilio MCP server provides comprehensive access to Apilio operations through Composio. Once connected, Hermes can perform all major Apilio actions on your behalf using natural language commands.

## Complete Code

None listed.

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
With Apilio 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.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Apilio MCP?

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

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

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