This guide explains the easiest and most robust way to connect your Benchmark email 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 Benchmark email with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benchmark_email/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benchmark_email/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benchmark_email/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benchmark_email/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benchmark_email/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benchmark_email/framework/openclaw) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benchmark_email/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benchmark_email/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benchmark_email/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benchmark_email/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benchmark_email/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benchmark_email/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/benchmark_email/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### What is Composio Connect?

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 Benchmark email MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Benchmark email MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Benchmark Email account. It provides structured and secure access to your email marketing data, so your agent can retrieve account info, manage contacts, handle lists, and automate campaign administration on your behalf. - Automated contact and list management: Effortlessly add, update, or delete contacts and lists, keeping your subscriber base organized and up to date. - Campaign cleanup and maintenance: Direct your agent to delete obsolete email campaigns or remove unneeded webhooks to keep your workspace tidy. - Account insights and configuration retrieval: Have the agent fetch client details, plan information, and account settings—perfect for reporting or reviewing your workspace setup. - Confirmed email address retrieval: Quickly pull all verified sender email addresses for compliance and seamless campaign sending. - Agency account and webhook control: Manage linked agency accounts and webhooks by deleting or updating them when no longer needed for more secure integrations. ## Supported Tools | Tool

Benchmark email MCP server provides comprehensive access to Benchmark email operations through Composio. Once connected, Hermes can perform all major Benchmark email actions on your behalf using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward With Benchmark email 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 Benchmark email MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Benchmark email tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Benchmark email 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 Benchmark email tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Benchmark email while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Benchmark email 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 Benchmark email data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
