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 Claid ai 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 Claid ai 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 Claid ai

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

4. Done. You're all set with a new Claid ai 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 Claid ai or request any Claid ai-related task. It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

5. Done!

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

The Claid ai MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Claid ai account. It provides structured and secure access to powerful AI image editing features, so your agent can perform actions like removing backgrounds, generating AI photoshoots, upscaling, and editing images in bulk on your behalf.

  • AI-powered background removal: Instantly have your agent isolate subjects from any image by removing backgrounds with a single command.
  • Automated product photoshoots: Let your agent transform plain product images into professional model photoshoots, complete with realistic AI-generated backgrounds.
  • Batch and async image editing: Direct your agent to process multiple images at once or submit complex, text-driven edits for asynchronous processing—perfect for large workflows.
  • Generative resizing and enhancement: Ask your agent to resize images using outpainting or upscale and enhance visuals to meet any platform’s requirements.
  • Privacy and compliance automation: Have your agent blur license plates in images or apply other privacy-preserving edits before sharing or publishing assets.

Way Forward

With Claid ai 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 Claid ai MCP?

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

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

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