Contractbook is a contract lifecycle management platform for creating, organizing, sharing, sending, and signing contracts. It helps teams keep agreements in one place and move from draft to signature faster.

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 Contractbook 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 Contractbook 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 Contractbook

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

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

5. Done!

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

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

Way Forward

With Contractbook 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.

TOOLS

Supported Tools

Every Contractbook action and event your agent gets out of the box.

Create Document From Template

Create a draft document from a Contractbook template, optionally overriding its document fields; this does not send the draft for signature.

Permanently Delete Document

Permanently destroy a Contractbook document with no restore option.

Get Document

Get the full current Contractbook document, including the version required for a safe update.

Get Document PDF Link

Get a short-lived PDF download URL for a document, or a not-ready message when Contractbook is still generating it.

Get Template

Get a template's full fields, parties, attachments, and signing configuration before creating a draft from it.

List Automations

List Contractbook automations for one trigger type; this only discovers automations and does not run them.

List Documents

Search and filter documents visible to the connected Contractbook account, returning one page and a cursor for continuation.

List Templates

List all Contractbook templates visible to the connected account for choosing a template ID.

Update Document

Update selected fields of a draft or stored contract using its current version; supplied collection fields replace their complete existing collections.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Contractbook MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Contractbook tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Contractbook and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

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 Contractbook tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Contractbook 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.

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 Contractbook data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
