CrewAI is a platform for running deployed automations and managing AMP control-plane resources. Use it to automate workflows and centrally control SaaS automation resources.

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 CrewAI 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 1,500+ 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 CrewAI 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 CrewAI

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

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

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 CrewAI or request any CrewAI-related task. It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

5. Done!

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

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

Way Forward

With CrewAI 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 CrewAI action and event your agent gets out of the box.

Get Deployment Logs

Return deployment lifecycle logs for a CrewAI deployment UUID to diagnose build or runtime deployment failures.

Get Deployment Status

Return the current AMP deployment status for one crew UUID from the SaaS control plane.

Get Execution Status

Return the current state, progress, result, or error for a deployed-crew execution started with a kickoff ID.

Get Required Inputs

Return the input names required by the connected deployed CrewAI automation before starting an execution.

List Crew Deployments

List CrewAI crew deployments visible to the selected SaaS organization and return their identifiers for status, logs, or redeployment.

Redeploy Crew

Trigger a new deployment of an existing CrewAI automation by UUID; this irreversibly changes the live deployment and may replace its runtime URL or token.

Resume Crew Execution

Approve or retry a human-in-the-loop task and resume its paused CrewAI execution.

Start Crew Execution

Start one execution of the connected deployed CrewAI automation and return its kickoff ID for status checks.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

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