## 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 Crunchbase 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.

## TL;DR

### 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.

## Connect Crunchbase to Hermes

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

The Crunchbase MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Crunchbase account. It provides structured and secure access to company, people, funding, financial, prediction, and market insight data, so your agent can search records, retrieve detailed company and people information, explore related records, and review available data fields on your behalf.
- Company and people research: Have your agent search Crunchbase collections using multiple conditions, then retrieve detailed information about relevant companies, people, and other records.
- Funding and market analysis: Direct your agent to find and compare records across licensed Crunchbase collections for research on funding activity, financial details, predictions, and market insights.
- Related record discovery: Let the agent explore related information connected to a company or person, such as associated organizations, funding activity, or other available relationship data.
- Entity lookup from everyday language: Instruct your agent to find the right Crunchbase company or person record from a name, keyword, or web address before researching it further.
- Data availability and change tracking: Have your agent review the fields and collections available through your Crunchbase access, or identify records that have been deleted.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `CRUNCHBASE_AUTOCOMPLETE_ENTITIES` | Autocomplete Entities | Suggest Crunchbase entity identifiers and permalinks matching text, optionally limited to documented or key-entitled collections. |
| `CRUNCHBASE_GET_ENTITY` | Get Entity | Get one Crunchbase entity by collection and UUID or permalink, selecting licensed fields and optionally embedded relationship cards. Access depends on the package entitlements of the connected API key. |
| `CRUNCHBASE_GET_FIELDS_METADATA` | Get Fields Metadata | Return the connected Crunchbase key's licensed collections and field definitions, optionally filtered by collection. Filter by collection when the full licensed metadata exceeds the safe serialized response limit. |
| `CRUNCHBASE_GET_OPENAPI_SPECIFICATION` | Get OpenAPI Specification | Return the Crunchbase REST v4 OpenAPI surface licensed to the connected key in JSON or YAML. By default, return a compact operation and schema index; request full mode only when the complete document is needed. |
| `CRUNCHBASE_LIST_DELETED_ENTITIES` | List Deleted Entities | List Crunchbase deletion records across supported collections or for one collection, with forward or backward keyset pagination. If a nonempty page omits the boundary UUID, pagination_warning reports that continuation is unavailable instead of claiming the page is terminal. |
| `CRUNCHBASE_LIST_ENTITY_CARD` | List Entity Card | List one Crunchbase entity relationship card with selected licensed fields and one-page forward or backward keyset pagination. Access depends on the package entitlements of the connected API key. If a nonempty page omits the boundary UUID or returns a different card key, pagination_warning reports that continuation is unavailable. |
| `CRUNCHBASE_SEARCH_ENTITIES` | Search Entities | Search one Crunchbase collection using licensed fields, up to 25 AND-combined predicates, ordering, and one-page keyset pagination. Pages can change while traversing; deduplicate entities by UUID when completeness matters. If a nonempty page omits the boundary UUID, pagination_warning reports that continuation is unavailable. |

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

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

## Complete Code

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
With Crunchbase 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 Crunchbase MCP?

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

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

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