## 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 BeatAPI 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.

- [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beatapi/framework/claude-cowork)
- [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/beatapi/framework/atomic-agent)

## TL;DR

### 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.

## Connect BeatAPI to Hermes

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

The BeatAPI MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your BeatAPI account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform BeatAPI operations on your behalf.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `BEATAPI_CREATE_ECOMMERCE_VIDEO_TASK` | Create Ecommerce Video Task | Start a paid asynchronous BeatAPI product-ad video task from uploaded product images, and return its task ID for status polling. |
| `BEATAPI_CREATE_IMAGE_GENERATION_TASK` | Create Image Generation Task | Start a paid asynchronous BeatAPI image generation task with one exact model-specific contract, and return its task ID for status polling. |
| `BEATAPI_CREATE_VIDEO_ANALYSIS_TASK` | Create Video Analysis Task | Start a paid asynchronous analysis of an account-owned uploaded video and return its task ID for status polling. |
| `BEATAPI_CREATE_VIDEO_GENERATION_TASK` | Create Video Generation Task | Start a paid asynchronous BeatAPI video generation task with an exact model-specific request. Save the returned task ID and use Get Task to poll until succeeded or failed. |
| `BEATAPI_GET_TASK` | Get Task | Read the current status, stage, storyboard, output, usage, or failure details for one asynchronous BeatAPI task. This performs one status read, not an automatic polling loop. When polling, wait 5-10 seconds with jitter between calls, stop at succeeded or failed, and honor Retry-After on rate limits. |
| `BEATAPI_GET_USAGE` | Get Usage | Get the connected account's USD balance, task totals, concurrency, and usage breakdowns before or after paid work. |
| `BEATAPI_LIST_EFFECTS` | List Effects | List currently published image and video effects with each effect's exact input and option contract. |
| `BEATAPI_LIST_GENERATION_MODELS` | List Generation Models | List currently available image and video generation models, optionally filtered by media type, before creating a generation task. |
| `BEATAPI_LIST_WORKFLOWS` | List Workflows | List BeatAPI's available high-level workflows and what each workflow produces. |
| `BEATAPI_UPLOAD_FILE` | Upload File | Upload an image, audio file, subtitle file, or short video to BeatAPI and return an account-owned URL for generation or analysis inputs. |

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

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

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
With BeatAPI 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 BeatAPI MCP?

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

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

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