## 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 Files com 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 Files com to Hermes

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

The Files.com MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Files.com account. It provides structured and secure access to your cloud storage and file management resources, so your agent can perform actions like listing folders, managing permissions, generating upload keys, and handling file shares on your behalf.
- Folder navigation and organization: Ask your agent to list and explore folders within your Files.com account, making it easy to locate and organize files.
- Permission management: Allow the agent to retrieve, review, and delete access permissions for files or folders, keeping your data secure and access controlled.
- Secure file uploading: Have your agent generate S3 upload keys so you can temporarily host files for easy import, sharing, or collaboration across teams.
- Group and share link management: Let your agent list user groups or delete share links to efficiently manage who has access to important documents and shared resources.
- API key lifecycle control: Instruct your agent to revoke API keys when needed, ensuring only authorized integrations remain active for your account.

## Supported Tools

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

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

## Complete Code

None listed.

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
With Files com 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 Files com MCP?

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

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

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