## 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 Black Forest Labs 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/bfl/framework/claude-cowork)
- [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/bfl/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 Black Forest Labs to Hermes

### Integrating Black Forest Labs 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 Black Forest Labs MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Black Forest Labs MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Black Forest Labs account. It provides structured and secure access to hosted FLUX image and video tools, so your agent can generate and edit images, create and transform videos, manage fine-tunes, and check project credits on your behalf.
- Image generation and editing: Have your agent create FLUX images from prompts, edit reference images, erase unwanted objects, expand images beyond their original canvas, deblur them, or generate images with an existing fine-tune.
- Video creation and transformation: Direct your agent to generate videos from text or source materials, edit existing videos with a prompt, or upscale videos by a selected amount.
- Virtual try-on experiences: Let the agent combine authorized person and garment images to create virtual try-on results.
- Generation progress and results: Instruct your agent to check the status of image or video tasks and retrieve their completed results.
- Fine-tune and credit management: Have your agent review available fine-tunes, inspect a specific fine-tune, and check the project's current credit balance before paid generation or editing work.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `BFL_DEBLUR_IMAGE` | Deblur Image | Submit a paid asynchronous deblurring of an authorized image. Returns the task ID, exact polling URL, and quoted cost without waiting. |
| `BFL_EDIT_VIDEO` | Edit Video | Submit a paid asynchronous prompt-directed edit of an authorized source video. Returns the task ID, exact polling URL, and quoted per-second cost without waiting for or downloading the result. |
| `BFL_ERASE_IMAGE_OBJECT` | Erase Image Object | Submit a paid asynchronous removal of a masked object from an authorized image. Returns the task ID, exact polling URL, and quoted cost without waiting for or downloading the result. |
| `BFL_GENERATE_FINETUNED_IMAGE` | Generate Fine-Tuned Image | Submit a paid asynchronous FLUX fine-tuned image generation using an existing LoRA. Returns the task ID, exact polling URL, and quoted cost; it does not wait for or download the result. |
| `BFL_GENERATE_OR_EDIT_FLUX_2_KLEIN_IMAGE` | Generate or Edit FLUX.2 Klein Image | Submit a paid asynchronous FLUX.2 Klein image generation or authorized reference-image edit with the stable 4B or 9B model. Returns the task ID, exact polling URL, and quoted cost without waiting for or downloading the result. |
| `BFL_GENERATE_OR_EDIT_IMAGE` | Generate or Edit Image | Submit a paid asynchronous FLUX 3 image generation or authorized reference-image edit. Returns a task ID, exact polling URL, and quoted cost without waiting for or downloading the result. Moderation may end the task without media. Result URLs expire quickly; download promptly and preserve the original bytes and C2PA provenance metadata. |
| `BFL_GENERATE_VIDEO` | Generate Video | Submit a paid asynchronous FLUX 3 video task from text, authorized keyframes, a source video, or a prior draft cache. Video is charged by duration and resolution. Returns a task ID and exact polling URL without waiting for or downloading outputs. |
| `BFL_GET_CREDITS` | Get Credit Balance | Return the connected BFL project's current credit balance so funds can be checked before a paid generation or editing request. |
| `BFL_GET_FINETUNE` | Get Fine-Tune | Return details for one BFL fine-tune by ID; an absent or inaccessible fine-tune is reported as not found without distinguishing access denial. |
| `BFL_GET_GENERATION_RESULT` | Get Generation Result | Fetch one status update for an asynchronous BFL task using its exact returned polling URL or task ID. Returns pending, moderation, error, not-found, and ready states without looping, downloading media, or incurring a new generation charge. |
| `BFL_LIST_FINETUNES` | List Fine-Tunes | Return all fine-tunes accessible to the connected BFL project in one unpaginated response. |
| `BFL_OUTPAINT_IMAGE` | Outpaint Image | Submit a paid asynchronous expansion of an authorized image onto a larger canvas of at most 4,194,304 pixels. Fast mode requires a base64 source; high mode also accepts HTTP(S) URLs. Returns the task ID, exact polling URL, and quoted cost without waiting for or downloading the result. |

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

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

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
With Black Forest Labs 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 Black Forest Labs MCP?

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

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Black Forest Labs while using Tool Router?

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