How to integrate Backendless MCP with Hermes

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 Backendless 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 Backendless 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.

The Backendless MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Backendless account. It provides structured and secure access to your application data, file storage, users, messaging channels, Hives, counters, and timers, so your agent can retrieve records, organize files, manage users, publish messages, and manage scheduled timers on your behalf.

• Application data retrieval: Have your agent retrieve records from Backendless tables using filters and sorting to find the information you need.
• File and directory management: Let the agent list directories, count files, create or delete folders, and copy, move, or delete stored files.
• User account administration: Direct your agent to register, find, update, or delete users, handle logins and logouts, recover passwords, validate sessions, and manage user permissions.
• Hives and counter operations: Instruct your agent to create Hives, read or update map values, retrieve list items, and get, set, or reset counters.
• Messaging and scheduled tasks: Have your agent publish messages to Backendless channels and create, inspect, update, or delete scheduled timers.

Way Forward

With Backendless 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.
