This guide explains the easiest and most robust way to connect your Diffbot 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 Diffbot with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/diffbot/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/diffbot/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/diffbot/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/diffbot/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/diffbot/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/diffbot/framework/openclaw) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/diffbot/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/diffbot/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/diffbot/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/diffbot/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/diffbot/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/diffbot/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/diffbot/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 — 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 Diffbot to Hermes ### Integrating Diffbot 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 Diffbot MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Diffbot MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Diffbot account. It provides structured and secure access to web data extraction and analysis, so your agent can extract structured data from web pages, analyze content types, retrieve product details, manage bulk jobs, and search extracted datasets on your behalf. - Automatic content analysis and extraction: Let your agent analyze any web page and automatically extract structured data such as articles, products, events, images, or videos using AI-powered tools. - Article and discussion thread extraction: Effortlessly pull detailed metadata, authors, publication dates, and full discussion threads from news sites, blogs, forums, and comment sections. - Product and event data gathering: Instantly extract comprehensive product specifications, pricing, reviews, and event information including venues, dates, and descriptions from e-commerce or event pages. - Bulk job management and search: Enable your agent to list, monitor, and search across large-scale crawl or extraction jobs, making it easy to work with massive web data collections. - Account and usage insights: Retrieve your Diffbot account details, plan information, and usage statistics to stay on top of quotas and manage your web data operations efficiently. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `DIFFBOT_DIFFBOT_SEARCH` | Diffbot Search | Tool to search data extracted by crawl or bulk jobs using dql queries. use after data extraction jobs complete to retrieve search results. | | `DIFFBOT_GET_ACCOUNT` | Get Diffbot Account Details | Tool to retrieve account details, including plan information and usage statistics. use after authenticating to verify subscription and daily quota status. | | `DIFFBOT_GET_ANALYZE` | Diffbot Analyze | Tool to automatically determine a page's content type and route it to the appropriate extraction api. use when you have only a url and need diffbot to choose the right extractor. | | `DIFFBOT_GET_ARTICLE` | Get Article Data | Tool to extract information from articles, including authors, publication dates, and images. use when you need structured metadata from a web article url. | | `DIFFBOT_GET_DISCUSSION` | Get Discussion Thread | Tool to extract threads of content from forums, comment sections, and review pages. use when you need structured discussion data from web pages after identifying the discussion url. | | `DIFFBOT_GET_EVENT` | Diffbot Get Event | Tool to extract event details from web pages. use when you need structured event data such as venue, date, and description. | | `DIFFBOT_GET_IMAGE` | Diffbot Get Image | Tool to extract detailed information about images, including dimensions and recognition data. use after confirming the image url is publicly accessible. | | `DIFFBOT_GET_PRODUCT` | Diffbot Get Product | Tool to extract product information such as specifications, prices, availability, and reviews. use when you need structured product data including specs, pricing, and reviews. | | `DIFFBOT_GET_VIDEO` | Get Video Data | Tool to extract information from videos, including titles, descriptions, and embedded html. use when you need structured video metadata from any web page. | | `DIFFBOT_LIST_BULK_JOBS` | List Bulk Jobs | Tool to list all bulk jobs associated with a specific token. use after authenticating to retrieve statuses of all jobs for the account. | | `DIFFBOT_RESOLVE_LOST_ID` | Resolve Lost ID | Tool to resolve lost ids in the knowledge graph. use when you need to map a lost identifier to its canonical counterpart for data consistency. | | `DIFFBOT_START_BULK` | Start Bulk Job | Tool to start a bulk extract job. use when processing large numbers of urls asynchronously. | | `DIFFBOT_START_CRAWL` | Start Crawl Job | Tool to spider a site for links and process them with the extract api into a single collection. use when you have seed urls and want to collect structured data across a site. requires a plus plan for crawl api access. | | `DIFFBOT_STOP_BULK_JOB` | Stop Bulk Job | Tool to stop a running bulk job. use when you need to halt further processing of urls in a job in progress. invoke only after confirming the jobid to avoid accidental stoppage. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Diffbot MCP server provides comprehensive access to Diffbot operations through Composio. Once connected, Hermes can perform all major Diffbot actions on your behalf using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward With Diffbot 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.

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