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 Contentful 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 Contentful 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 Contentful

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

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

5. Done!

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

The Contentful MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Contentful account. It provides structured and secure access to your Contentful spaces, so your agent can perform actions like listing spaces, retrieving space details, and updating space information on your behalf.

  • List all available spaces: Quickly fetch a comprehensive list of all Contentful spaces you have access to, making it easier to choose where to manage or publish content.
  • Retrieve detailed space information: Ask your agent to pull up full details about any specific Contentful space, including metadata and configuration—great for audits or content planning.
  • Update space names safely: Let your agent rename a space by handling version checks and updates for you, ensuring your workspace stays organized and accurately labeled.
  • Streamline space management: Automate repetitive space-related tasks, like checking which spaces are available or updating their names, so you can focus on content creation.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Get spaceRetrieves details of a specific space by its id.
List spacesLists all spaces that the authenticated user has access to in contentful.
Update spaceUpdates the name of a specific space.

Way Forward

With Contentful 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 Contentful MCP?

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

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

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