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

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 Cardly to Hermes ### Integrating Cardly 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 Cardly MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Cardly MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Cardly account. It provides structured and secure access to your Cardly workspace, so your agent can create contact lists, generate card previews, manage invitations, and access artwork or credit history for seamless customer engagement tasks. - Automated contact list creation and management: Easily instruct your agent to set up new contact lists or manage existing ones, streamlining outreach campaigns and personalized mailings. - Card preview generation and artwork browsing: Let your agent generate watermarked card previews and browse available artwork to help you select the right designs before sending mailers. - Real-time credit and gift history access: Ask your agent to fetch your credit or gift credit history so you always know your account status and can track usage or plan new campaigns. - Invitation and webhook management: Direct your agent to handle invitations—listing, deleting, or auditing user invites—or manage webhooks for seamless integration with other systems. - Font and design asset exploration: Have your agent list available fonts and artwork, making it easier to choose creative assets for your next customer engagement initiative. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `CARDLY_CREATE_CONTACT_LIST` | Create Contact List | Tool to add a new contact list. use after defining name and optional custom fields, before populating the list with contacts. | | `CARDLY_CREATE_WEBHOOK` | Create Webhook | Tool to create a new webhook subscription. use when you need cardly to notify your application via http post for specific events. | | `CARDLY_DELETE_INVITATION_BY_EMAIL` | Delete Invitation by Email | Tool to delete an invitation by email address. use when you need to invalidate an outstanding invitation immediately. | | `CARDLY_DELETE_WEBHOOK` | Delete Webhook | Tool to delete a webhook. use after confirming the webhook id to immediately cease all activity and event subscriptions for that webhook. | | `CARDLY_GENERATE_PREVIEW` | Generate Preview | Tool to generate a low-quality, watermarked preview document for a card. use after confirming artwork and template details to estimate costs and delivery. | | `CARDLY_LIST_ARTWORK` | List Artwork | Tool to retrieve the currently available artwork for your organisation. use when you need to list and paginate artwork items, optionally filtering to only your own artwork. | | `CARDLY_LIST_CREDIT_HISTORY` | List Credit History | Tool to list credit history records. use after checking account balance to review recent credits/debits. | | `CARDLY_LIST_FONTS` | List Fonts | Tool to list your currently available fonts. use after confirming authentication to explore font options in cardly. | | `CARDLY_LIST_GIFT_CREDIT_HISTORY` | List Gift Credit History | Tool to list gift credit history records for your organization. use when you need paginated gift credit entries with optional time-based filters. | | `CARDLY_LIST_INVITATIONS` | List Invitations | Tool to retrieve active invitations for your organisation with optional filters. use when you need to audit invited users and their statuses before sending new invitations or revoking access. | | `CARDLY_LIST_MEDIA` | List Media | Tool to retrieve the currently available media sizes for product artwork. use when you need to explore or validate media options before creating artwork. | | `CARDLY_LIST_ORDERS` | List Orders | Tool to retrieve orders placed by your organisation. use when you need to fetch paginated order history after confirming the endpoint. | | `CARDLY_LIST_TEMPLATES` | List Templates | Tool to retrieve your currently available templates from cardly. use to list and paginate templates for selection in card sends. | | `CARDLY_LIST_USERS` | List Users | Tool to retrieve all users associated with your account. use when you need to list and paginate user accounts. | | `CARDLY_LIST_WEBHOOKS` | List Webhooks | Tool to retrieve any active or disabled webhooks set up for your organisation. use when you need to audit configured webhook endpoints before modifying subscriptions. | | `CARDLY_LIST_WRITING_STYLES` | List Writing Styles | Tool to list available writing styles. use when you need to retrieve writing styles available for handwriting personalization. | | `CARDLY_RETRIEVE_ACCOUNT_BALANCE` | Retrieve Account Balance | Tool to retrieve the current account and gift credit balances for your organisation. use after authenticating to verify available credit before placing orders. | | `CARDLY_RETRIEVE_ORDER` | Retrieve Order | Tool to retrieve information on a specific order. use after obtaining an order id to fetch its details. | | `CARDLY_RETRIEVE_USER` | Retrieve User | Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific user. use after obtaining the user id to fetch its details. | | `CARDLY_UPDATE_WEBHOOK` | Update Webhook | Tool to update a webhook’s settings, including target url and events. use after retrieving existing webhook to apply configuration changes. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Cardly MCP server provides comprehensive access to Cardly operations through Composio. Once connected, Hermes can perform all major Cardly actions on your behalf using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward With Cardly 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 Cardly MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Cardly tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Cardly 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 Cardly tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Cardly while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Cardly 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 Cardly data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
