This guide explains the easiest and most robust way to connect your Canny 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 Canny with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/openclaw) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/canny/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 Canny to Hermes ### Integrating Canny 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 Canny MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Canny MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Canny account. It provides structured and secure access to your feedback boards, so your agent can create new posts, manage user feedback, update post status, and keep changelogs up to date—all automatically, on your behalf. - Automated feedback collection and posting: Enable your agent to create new posts on boards, capturing fresh user suggestions or bug reports with the right context every time. - User and comment management: Let your agent create or update user profiles, add new comments to posts, and even delete users or comments for moderation or compliance needs. - Status and tag updates: Have your agent update post statuses to reflect progress or changes, apply tags to categorize feedback, and create new tags as your product evolves. - Changelog automation: Seamlessly generate and publish changelog entries to keep users informed about new features or bug fixes, with full control over timing and notifications. - Feedback voting and prioritization: Allow your agent to create or migrate votes for posts, helping you track which ideas matter most to your users with minimal manual effort. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `CANNY_ADD_POST_TAG` | Add Post Tag | Tool to add a tag to a specific post. use when you need to categorize or group content by applying an existing tag. | | `CANNY_CANNY_DELETE_USER` | Delete User | Tool to delete a user and their comments and votes. use when you need to fully remove a user's account and all associated data (e.g., gdpr compliance). | | `CANNY_CHANGE_POST_STATUS` | Change Post Status | Tool to change a post's status. use when you need to update a post's workflow stage and optionally notify voters. | | `CANNY_CREATE_CHANGELOG_ENTRY` | Create Changelog Entry | Tool to create and optionally publish a new changelog entry. use when you need to add a product update record, control publish timing, and notify users. example: "create changelog entry titled 'version 1.2' with details '...' and publish immediately.". | | `CANNY_CREATE_COMMENT` | Create Comment | Tool to create a new comment on a post. use when you have the authorid and postid and want to submit feedback or replies. | | `CANNY_CREATE_OR_UPDATE_USER` | Create or Update User | Tool to create or update a user in canny. use when you need to provision a new user or synchronize updates to an existing user profile. example: "create or update user with email user@example.com" | | `CANNY_CREATE_POST` | Create Post | Tool to create a new post on a board. use when you have the boardid and userid and need to submit new feedback. | | `CANNY_CREATE_TAG` | Create Tag | Tool to create a new tag. use when you have the boardid and tag name and need to categorize posts. | | `CANNY_CREATE_VOTE` | Create Vote | Tool to create a vote for a post. use when you need to record or migrate a user's vote on a post, optionally setting priority or original creation time. example: create a vote for postid abc123 with voterid user 456. | | `CANNY_DELETE_COMMENT` | Delete Comment | Tool to delete a comment. use when moderation is required to remove a specific comment by its id. example: "delete the comment with id 553c3ef8b8cdcd1501ba1238." | | `CANNY_DELETE_POST` | Delete Post | Tool to delete a post. use when you need to permanently remove a post by its id. example: "delete the post with id 553c3ef8b8cdcd1501ba1238." | | `CANNY_DELETE_VOTE` | Delete Vote | Tool to delete a vote. use when you need to remove a user's vote from a specific post by its id. example: "delete the vote from postid abc123 for voterid user 456." | | `CANNY_LIST_BOARDS` | List Boards | Tool to list all boards. use when you need to retrieve every board for your company after authentication. | | `CANNY_LIST_CATEGORIES` | List Categories | Tool to list categories. use when fetching categories for a specific board by its id. | | `CANNY_LIST_COMMENTS` | List Comments | Tool to list comments for posts, boards, or authors. use after authentication to fetch comments with optional filters. | | `CANNY_LIST_COMPANIES` | List Companies | Tool to list companies associated with your canny account. use after authentication to retrieve companies with pagination support. | | `CANNY_LIST_OPPORTUNITIES` | List Opportunities | Tool to list opportunities linked to posts. use when you need to fetch customer opportunities synced from crm. | | `CANNY_LIST_POSTS` | List Posts | Tool to list posts with various filters. use after selecting a board or to search/filter posts. | | `CANNY_LIST_TAGS` | List Tags | Tool to list tags. use when fetching tags optionally filtered by board id and handling pagination. | | `CANNY_LIST_USERS` | List Users | Tool to list end-users in your workspace. use when you need to fetch and paginate through your workspace's users. | | `CANNY_LIST_VOTES` | List Votes | Tool to list votes for a post. use after retrieving post details to view voters. | | `CANNY_RETRIEVE_BOARD` | Retrieve Board | Tool to retrieve details of a board by its id. use when you need metadata for a specific board. | | `CANNY_RETRIEVE_TAG` | Retrieve Tag | Tool to retrieve details of a tag by its id. use after obtaining a valid tag id. | | `CANNY_RETRIEVE_USER` | Retrieve User | Tool to retrieve user details by canny user id, app user id, or email. use when you have exactly one identifier and need full user information. example: "retrieve user with email user@example.com" | | `CANNY_UPDATE_POST` | Update Post | Tool to update post details. use when you need to change a post's title, details, eta, images, or custom fields. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Canny MCP server provides comprehensive access to Canny operations through Composio. Once connected, Hermes can perform all major Canny actions on your behalf using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward With Canny 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 Canny MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Canny tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Canny 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 Canny tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Canny while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Canny 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 Canny data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
