## 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 Databox 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 1,000+ 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.

## Connect Databox to Hermes

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

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

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `DATABOX_CREATE_DATASET` | Create Dataset | Tool to create a new dataset in Databox data source. Use when you need to initialize a dataset with a title, data source ID, and primary keys for unique record identification. |
| `DATABOX_CREATE_DATA_SOURCE` | Create Data Source | Tool to create a new data source in Databox. Use when you need to create a logical container for datasets within a Databox account. Requires accountId, title, and timezone parameters. |
| `DATABOX_DELETE_DATASET` | Delete Dataset | Tool to delete a dataset by ID in Databox. Use when you need to permanently remove a dataset. This operation is irreversible. |
| `DATABOX_DELETE_DATA_SOURCE` | Delete Data Source | Tool to delete a data source by ID in Databox. Use when you need to permanently remove a data source. This operation is irreversible and will delete all associated datasets. |
| `DATABOX_GET_DATASET_INGESTION_STATUS` | Get Dataset Ingestion Status | Tool to check the status of a specific data ingestion for a dataset. Use when you need to verify whether a data ingestion was successful by providing the dataset ID and ingestion ID returned from the initial POST request. |
| `DATABOX_LIST_ACCOUNTS` | List Accounts | Tool to retrieve all Databox accounts accessible to the authenticated user. Use to identify account IDs required for subsequent API operations like data source creation. |
| `DATABOX_PUSH_DATA_TO_DATASET_V1` | Push Data to Dataset (V1) | Tool to push data points to a Databox dataset using the v1 API. Use when you need to ingest data records into a specific dataset by providing the dataset ID and an array of records matching the dataset schema. |

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

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

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
With Databox 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 Databox MCP?

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

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

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