This guide explains the easiest and most robust way to connect your Daffy 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. ## Also integrate Daffy with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/daffy/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/daffy/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/daffy/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/daffy/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/daffy/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/daffy/framework/openclaw) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/daffy/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/daffy/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/daffy/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/daffy/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/daffy/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/daffy/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/daffy/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### What is Composio Connect? Composio Connect is a consumer offering that lets anyone plug 1,000+ applications directly into their agent harness โ€” 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 Daffy to Hermes ### Integrating Daffy 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 Daffy MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Daffy MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Daffy account. It provides structured and secure access to your donor-advised fund, so your agent can check balances, make donations, search for nonprofits, and manage your giving history on your behalf. - Effortless charitable gifting and donations: Instruct your agent to create new charitable gifts, make donations, or send gifts to specific nonprofits right from your account. - Donation and contribution tracking: Have your agent pull detailed lists of your past donations and contributions, giving you a clear view of your giving activity and history. - Fund balance and account management: Let your agent check your current fund balance or retrieve your profile details, keeping you updated on your financial standing in Daffy. - Non-profit discovery and research: Ask your agent to search for nonprofits by name, cause, or EIN, and fetch detailed information about organizations you might want to support. - User causes and personalized insights: Enable your agent to list your preferred causes or explore your giving patterns to suggest new ways to maximize your charitable impact. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `DAFFY_CREATE_GIFT` | Create Gift | Tool to create a new charitable gift. use when you have recipient details and amount ready. | | `DAFFY_GET_BALANCE` | Get Balance | Tool to retrieve the authenticated user's fund balance. use after authenticating to confirm account funds. | | `DAFFY_GET_CONTRIBUTIONS` | Get Contributions | Tool to retrieve list of contributions to the authenticated user's fund. use when needing to paginate through contribution history. | | `DAFFY_GET_DONATIONS` | Get Donations | Tool to retrieve a list of donations for the authenticated user. use after authentication to fetch donation history. | | `DAFFY_GET_GIFT_BY_CODE` | Get Gift by Code | Tool to retrieve details of a specific gift by its unique code. use after obtaining the gift code. | | `DAFFY_GET_GIFTS` | Get Gifts | Tool to retrieve a list of gifts. use when you need to page or filter gifts. | | `DAFFY_GET_NON_PROFIT_BY_EIN` | Get Non-Profit by EIN | Tool to retrieve information about a non-profit organization by ein. use after confirming the correct nine-digit ein. | | `DAFFY_GET_USER_CAUSES` | Get User Causes | Tool to retrieve a list of causes for a specified user. use after confirming the user id is valid. | | `DAFFY_GET_USER_PROFILE` | Get User Profile | Tool to retrieve the authenticated user's profile. use when you need details about the current user's account. | | `DAFFY_SEARCH_NON_PROFITS` | Search Non-Profits | Tool to search non-profit organizations by cause id and query text. use when you need to find nonprofits matching a search term or a specific cause. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Daffy MCP server provides comprehensive access to Daffy operations through Composio. Once connected, Hermes can perform all major Daffy actions on your behalf using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward With Daffy 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 โ€” 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.

With a standalone Daffy MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Daffy tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Daffy 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 Daffy tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Daffy while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Daffy 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 Daffy data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) ยท [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
