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 Botbaba 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.

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.

Integrating Botbaba 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
Hermes authenticating with Composio

2. Authenticate

Once the CLI is installed, ask Hermes to authenticate with Composio.

3. Connect to Botbaba

Ask your agent to connect to Botbaba, or simply request any Botbaba-related task. Hermes will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

4. Done. You're all set with a new Botbaba connection.


Using Composio Connect MCP

1. Get your MCP URL and API Key

Go to dashboard.composio.dev and copy your Connect MCP URL and API key.

Copy MCP URL and API key from Composio dashboard

2. Open the Hermes config file

bash
nano ~/.hermes/config.yaml

3. Add the Composio Connect MCP server

bash
mcp_servers:
  composio:
    url: "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp"
    headers:
      x-consumer-api-key: "YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY"
    connect_timeout: 60
    timeout: 180

Save with Ctrl + O, Enter, then exit with Ctrl + X.

4. Restart your Hermes agent

Once restarted, ask your agent to connect to Botbaba or request any Botbaba-related task. It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

5. Done!

What is the Botbaba MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Botbaba MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Botbaba account. It provides structured and secure access to your chatbot management platform, so your agent can perform actions like creating bots, updating conversation flows, managing integrations, deploying changes, and monitoring chatbot analytics on your behalf.

  • Bot creation and configuration: Instantly create new chatbots, set up welcome messages, and configure basic settings directly from your agent.
  • Conversational flow management: Update, organize, or refine conversation trees, intents, and responses for smarter, more natural chatbot interactions.
  • Integration with messaging platforms: Enable your agent to connect bots with channels like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and web chat for seamless communication.
  • Real-time deployment and publishing: Push bot changes live or roll back updates—ensuring your chatbots stay current and relevant with minimal effort.
  • Analytics and performance monitoring: Automatically fetch usage statistics, analyze user engagement, and monitor bot performance to optimize conversational experiences.

Way Forward

With Botbaba 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.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Botbaba MCP?

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

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

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