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 College football data 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 College football data 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 College football data

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

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

5. Done!

What is the College football data MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The College football data MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your College Football Data account. It provides structured and secure access to comprehensive college football stats, schedules, advanced analytics, and recruiting data, so your agent can fetch game results, analyze team performance, retrieve broadcast info, and explore historical metrics on your behalf.

  • Retrieve game schedules and results: Instantly fetch upcoming games, past scores, and matchup outcomes filtered by season, week, team, or conference.
  • Analyze advanced team and player stats: Have your agent pull in-depth box scores, advanced metrics, and season-long analytics to compare team or player performance.
  • Access media and broadcast information: Quickly get details on TV, radio, and streaming coverage for selected games, including broadcast schedules and platforms.
  • Review team talent and recruiting rankings: Let your agent track composite team talent scores and recruiting class data across seasons for any program.
  • Explore historical conference and division data: Effortlessly trace a team's conference membership history, division alignment, and related metadata over time.

Way Forward

With College football data 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 College football data MCP?

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

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for College football data while using Tool Router?

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