How to integrate D2lbrightspace MCP with Hermes

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 D2lbrightspace 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 D2lbrightspace 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.

The D2lbrightspace MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your D2L Brightspace account. It provides structured and secure access to your LMS, so your agent can perform actions like creating courses, managing quizzes, handling user enrollment, and automating gradebook operations on your behalf.

• Automated course creation and management: Instantly create new courses, course offerings, or templates, and streamline updates or deletions without manual intervention.
• Quiz and assessment automation: Let your agent set up new quizzes, organize quiz categories, and configure assessment parameters to enhance the learning experience.
• Gradebook and feedback management: Effortlessly create, modify, or delete grade objects to keep your course grading up to date and provide prompt feedback to learners.
• User enrollment and management: Create new user accounts, manage user roles, and handle enrollment or impersonation tasks to simplify onboarding and administration.
• Role and permissions control: Copy existing roles, adjust specific permissions, and fine-tune access for different user groups—all directly through your agent.

Way Forward

With D2lbrightspace 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.
