This guide explains the easiest and most robust way to connect your Better proposals 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 Better proposals with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/openclaw) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/better_proposals/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 Better proposals to Hermes ### Integrating Better proposals 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 Better proposals MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Better Proposals MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Better Proposals account. It provides structured and secure access to your proposals workspace, so your agent can perform actions like creating companies, generating proposals, listing templates, and managing document types on your behalf. - Automated proposal creation: Instruct your agent to generate new proposal covers or assemble entire proposals using customizable templates and dynamic content. - Company and client management: Let your agent create new companies, retrieve lists of existing clients, and keep your contacts organized for faster proposal delivery. - Template and document type selection: Ask your agent to fetch available templates and document types, helping you choose the right style and format every time. - Quote and currency handling: Have your agent list all available quotes and supported currencies, streamlining the pricing and invoicing process for your proposals. - Bulk data retrieval and reporting: Direct the agent to gather lists of all proposals, document types, or companies for easy review, reporting, or dashboarding. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_BETTER_PROPOSALS_GET_ALL_DOCUMENT_TYPES` | Get All Document Types | Tool to retrieve a paginated list of all document types. use when you need to display or select a document type id. | | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_CREATE_COMPANY` | Create Company | Tool to create a new company. use after confirming the company does not already exist. | | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_CREATE_DOCUMENT_TYPE` | Create Document Type | Tool to create a new document type. use after confirming the desired type name does not already exist. | | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_CREATE_PROPOSAL_COVER` | Create Proposal Cover | Tool to create a new proposal cover design. use when you need a custom cover design before sending out a proposal. use after finalizing cover settings. | | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_GET_ALL_COMPANIES` | Get All Companies | Tool to retrieve a paginated list of all companies. use when listing available companies for display or selection. | | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_GET_ALL_CURRENCIES` | Get All Currencies | Tool to retrieve a paginated list of all currencies. use when listing available currency options before selection. | | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_BETTER_PROPOSALS_GET_ALL_DOCUMENT_TYPES` | Get All Document Types | Tool to retrieve a paginated list of all document types. use when you need to display or select a document type id. | | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_GET_ALL_PROPOSALS` | Get All Proposals | Tool to retrieve a paginated list of all proposals. use when you need to fetch proposals list after validating credentials. | | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_GET_ALL_QUOTES` | Get All Quotes | Tool to retrieve a paginated list of all quotes. use after setting pagination parameters. | | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_GET_ALL_TEMPLATES` | Get All Templates | Tool to retrieve a paginated list of all templates. use when you need to list available templates for selection. | | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_GET_BRAND_SETTINGS` | Get Brand Settings | Tool to retrieve settings for the default brand. use when you need default-brand configuration (colors, tax, name, etc.) before creating or customizing documents. | | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_GET_COMPANY` | Get Company | Tool to retrieve details of a specific company. use when you need company metadata by id. | | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_GET_CURRENCY` | Get Currency | Tool to retrieve details of a specific currency. use when you need currency metadata by id. | | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_GET_NEW_PROPOSALS` | Get New Proposals | Tool to retrieve all new proposals. use after validating credentials when you need only newly created proposals. | | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_GET_OPENED_PROPOSALS` | Get Opened Proposals | Tool to retrieve all opened proposals. use when you need proposals that recipients have opened. | | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_GET_PAID_PROPOSALS` | Get Paid Proposals | Tool to retrieve all paid proposals. use when you need to list proposals that have been paid. | | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_GET_PROPOSAL_COUNT` | Get Proposal Count | Tool to retrieve the total count of proposals. use when you need to know how many proposals exist. | | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_GET_QUOTE` | Get Quote | Tool to retrieve details of a specific quote. use when you need full quote data by id. | | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_GET_SENT_PROPOSALS` | Get Sent Proposals | Tool to retrieve all sent proposals. use after dispatching proposals to clients to list them. | | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_GET_SETTINGS` | Get Settings | Tool to retrieve current account settings. use when you need default currency, tax, and timezone configuration before creating proposals. | | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_GET_SIGNED_PROPOSALS` | Get Signed Proposals | Tool to retrieve all signed proposals. use when you need to list proposals clients have signed after confirming credentials. | | `BETTER_PROPOSALS_GET_TEMPLATE` | Get Template Details | Tool to retrieve details of a specific template. use after selecting the template id to fetch metadata. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Better proposals MCP server provides comprehensive access to Better proposals operations through Composio. Once connected, Hermes can perform all major Better proposals actions on your behalf using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward With Better proposals 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 Better proposals MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Better proposals tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Better proposals 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 Better proposals tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Better proposals while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Better proposals 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 Better proposals data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
