## 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 Commerce Layer 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.

- [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/commerce_layer/framework/claude-cowork)

## 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 Commerce Layer to Hermes

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

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

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `COMMERCE_LAYER_CREATE_CUSTOMER` | Create Customer | Create one Commerce Layer customer from an email and optional external-reference metadata. Use a unique email or reference for automation. This mutation is cleanly undoable with DELETE_CUSTOMER using the returned customer ID. |
| `COMMERCE_LAYER_DELETE_CUSTOMER` | Delete Customer | Permanently delete one Commerce Layer customer by exact ID. This irreversible operation requires explicit confirmation and is intended only for confirmed cleanup or erasure, never bulk deletion. Never infer or enumerate customer IDs; call GET_CUSTOMER first unless deleting a fixture created in the same workflow. |
| `COMMERCE_LAYER_GET_CUSTOMER` | Get Customer | Retrieve one customer by its Commerce Layer resource ID. |
| `COMMERCE_LAYER_GET_ORDER` | Get Order | Retrieve one Commerce Layer order by ID, optionally including customer, line-item, shipment, or return context. |
| `COMMERCE_LAYER_GET_ORDER_METRIC` | Get Order Metric | Compute one common order KPI over optional date, market, currency, and status filters using the Commerce Layer Metrics API. |
| `COMMERCE_LAYER_LIST_CUSTOMERS` | List Customers | Return one page of customers, optionally filtered by an exact email address. |
| `COMMERCE_LAYER_LIST_ORDERS` | List Orders | Return one page of orders, newest first by default, for operational review and follow-up by order ID. |
| `COMMERCE_LAYER_LIST_SKUS` | List SKUs | Return one page of catalog SKUs for product discovery and ID lookup. |
| `COMMERCE_LAYER_LIST_STOCK_ITEMS` | List Stock Items | Return one page of stock items with inventory quantities and SKU codes. |
| `COMMERCE_LAYER_UPDATE_CUSTOMER` | Update Customer | Update selected attributes of one Commerce Layer customer. Only non-null fields supplied by the caller are changed. Inspect the customer first when rollback matters; restoring the captured values reverses this update. |

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

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

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
With Commerce Layer 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 Commerce Layer MCP?

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

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

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