## 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 ClickHouse 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.

## 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 ClickHouse to Hermes

### Integrating ClickHouse 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 ClickHouse MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The ClickHouse MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your ClickHouse account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform ClickHouse operations on your behalf.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `CLICKHOUSE_EXECUTE_QUERY` | Execute ClickHouse Query | Execute a SQL query in ClickHouse and return the results. This is the primary action for querying data from ClickHouse databases. |
| `CLICKHOUSE_GET_DATABASE_SCHEMA` | Get Database Schema | Get comprehensive schema overview of an entire database including all tables and optionally their column definitions. Essential for AI agents to understand the complete database structure in a single call. |
| `CLICKHOUSE_GET_PLAY_INTERFACE` | Get ClickHouse Play Interface | Get the ClickHouse Play web user interface for interactive query execution. Returns HTML page with Monaco Editor for writing queries and visualizing results. |
| `CLICKHOUSE_GET_TABLE_SCHEMA` | Get Table Schema | Get detailed schema information for a specific table including column definitions, types, keys, and optionally sample data. This is essential for AI agents to understand table structure before constructing queries. |
| `CLICKHOUSE_LIST_DATABASES` | List ClickHouse Databases | List all databases in the ClickHouse instance. Useful for discovering available databases before querying tables. |
| `CLICKHOUSE_LIST_TABLES` | List ClickHouse Tables | List tables in ClickHouse databases. Returns information about tables including their engine, size, and row count. |

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

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

## Complete Code

None listed.

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
With ClickHouse 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 ClickHouse MCP?

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

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

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