This guide explains the easiest and most robust way to connect your Basin 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. ## Also integrate Basin with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basin/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basin/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basin/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basin/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basin/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basin/framework/openclaw) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basin/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basin/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basin/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basin/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basin/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basin/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/basin/framework/crew-ai) ## 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 Basin to Hermes ### Integrating Basin 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 Basin MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Basin MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Basin account. It provides structured and secure access to your forms and projects, so your agent can perform actions like creating forms, managing webhooks, organizing projects, and retrieving domain or form details on your behalf. - Instant form creation and management: Ask your agent to set up new forms with custom settings, associate them with projects, or delete forms you no longer need—all without manual coding. - Seamless project organization: Let your agent create new Basin projects to group related forms or delete obsolete projects, keeping your workspace tidy and efficient. - Automated webhook and integration setup: Have your agent add or remove webhooks for specific forms, so submissions are instantly routed to the right endpoints or external services. - Detailed form and account insights: Retrieve rich metadata about any form or get a full list of domains linked to your Basin account, helping you monitor and audit your form infrastructure. - Effortless notification management: Empower your agent to configure notification webhooks, ensuring critical submissions reach your team or external tools in real time. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `BASIN_CREATE_FORM` | Create Form | Tool to create a new form in basin. use when you need to automate form setup with name, timezone, and project association; optionally configure redirect, notifications, or spam protection. | | `BASIN_CREATE_FORM_WEBHOOK` | Create Form Webhook | Tool to create a new webhook for a specific form. use when you need to programmatically add a webhook once you have the form id and callback url confirmed. | | `BASIN_CREATE_NOTIFICATION` | Create Notification | Tool to create a new notification webhook. use when you need to forward form submissions to an external service. | | `BASIN_CREATE_PROJECT` | Create Project | Tool to create a new basin project. use when you need a new organizational container for forms. example: "create a project named marketing leads." | | `BASIN_DELETE_FORM` | Delete Form | Tool to delete a form. use when permanently removing a form after it's no longer needed. ensure the form id is correct; this operation is irreversible. | | `BASIN_DELETE_INTEGRATION` | Delete Integration | Tool to delete a form webhook integration. use when removing an obsolete integration by id. | | `BASIN_DELETE_PROJECT` | Delete Project | Tool to delete a project. use when you need to remove a project after confirming its id. returns the deleted project's details. | | `BASIN_DELETE_WEBHOOK` | Delete Webhook | Tool to delete a specific webhook. use when you need to remove a webhook from a form after confirming its id. | | `BASIN_GET_DOMAINS` | Get Domains | Tool to retrieve a list of all domains associated with the account. use after authentication when you need to display or verify your configured domains in basin. | | `BASIN_GET_FORM_DETAILS` | Get Form Details | Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific form. use when you have a form id and need its metadata. | | `BASIN_GET_FORMS` | Get Forms | Tool to retrieve a list of all forms. use after authentication to fetch all your forms. | | `BASIN_GET_PROJECT_DETAILS` | Get Project Details | Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific project. use when you have a project id and need its metadata (name, created at, updated at). | | `BASIN_GET_PROJECTS` | Get Projects | Tool to retrieve a list of all projects. use after authentication to fetch your project inventory. | | `BASIN_GET_SUBMISSIONS` | Get Submissions | Tool to retrieve all submissions for a specific form. use when you need to list entries after obtaining the form id. | | `BASIN_GET_WEBHOOKS` | Get Webhooks | Tool to retrieve all webhooks associated with a specific form. use after obtaining the form id. | | `BASIN_UPDATE_INTEGRATION` | Update Integration | Tool to update a form webhook integration. use to modify settings of an existing integration. | | `BASIN_UPDATE_PROJECT` | Update Project | Tool to update details of an existing project. use when you need to change a project's name after confirming the project id. example: "update project 123 to 'rebrand launch'". | | `BASIN_UPDATE_WEBHOOK` | Update Webhook | Tool to update settings of an existing webhook for a form. use after obtaining the webhook's id. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Basin MCP server provides comprehensive access to Basin operations through Composio. Once connected, Hermes can perform all major Basin actions on your behalf using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward With Basin 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.

With a standalone Basin MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Basin tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Basin 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 Basin tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Basin while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Basin 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 Basin data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
