This guide explains the easiest and most robust way to connect your Encodian 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 Encodian with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/encodian/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/encodian/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/encodian/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/encodian/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/encodian/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/encodian/framework/openclaw) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/encodian/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/encodian/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/encodian/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/encodian/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/encodian/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/encodian/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/encodian/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 Encodian to Hermes ### Integrating Encodian 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 Encodian MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Encodian MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Encodian account. It provides structured and secure access to your Encodian document automation suite, so your agent can perform actions like managing files, processing PDFs, encoding or decoding content, and automating workflow tasks on your behalf. - File management and property retrieval: Quickly get detailed information about files, move documents between containers, and keep your Microsoft 365 storage organized automatically. - Document processing and automation: Direct your agent to add headers and footers to PDFs, extract PDF metadata, or resize images for seamless document formatting and compliance tasks. - Base64 content conversion: Effortlessly encode text or files to Base64, or decode Base64 strings back to usable files for secure data exchange and workflow integration. - Archive extraction and manipulation: Unzip files and retrieve their contents, making it easy to automate bulk document handling or trigger downstream processing steps. - Data integrity and comparison tools: Use hashing and text comparison utilities to verify file integrity, detect changes, or ensure consistency across your documents and workflows. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `ENCODIAN_BASE64_DECODE` | Decode Base64 String | Tool to decode a Base64 string to a file. Use when you need to extract binary content (e.g., PDF, image) from Base64 data. | | `ENCODIAN_BASE64_ENCODE` | Base64 Encode | Tool to encode a string to Base64.

Once connected, Hermes can perform all major Encodian actions on your behalf using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward With Encodian 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 Encodian MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Encodian tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Encodian 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 Encodian tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Encodian while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Encodian 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 Encodian 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)
