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 Composio 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 Composio 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 Composio

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

4. Done. You're all set with a new Composio 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.

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

The Composio MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Composio account. It provides structured and secure access to your connected tools, so your agent can plan workflows, orchestrate complex actions, manage integrations, and execute cross-tool automations on your behalf.

  • Automated workflow planning and execution: The agent can generate and run step-by-step plans for complex, multi-tool use cases—ensuring tasks are completed reliably, even when they span multiple services.
  • Connection management and discovery: Effortlessly check the status of multiple toolkit connections, discover what integrations are active, and manage how your agent connects to different services.
  • Tool and dependency exploration: Ask your agent to map out tool dependencies, discover related tools, and understand which tools work best together for your workflow.
  • Direct code and command execution: Let the agent run code snippets or shell commands in supported environments, tying together automation across your stack.
  • Bulk and parallel operations: Use specialized tools for parallel execution or to handle many similar tasks at once—speeding up large automations by making multiple calls in a single workflow.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Way Forward

With Composio 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 Composio MCP?

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

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

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