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 Firecrawl 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.

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.

Integrating Firecrawl 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
Hermes authenticating with Composio

2. Authenticate

Once the CLI is installed, ask Hermes to authenticate with Composio.

3. Connect to Firecrawl

Ask your agent to connect to Firecrawl, or simply request any Firecrawl-related task. Hermes will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

4. Done. You're all set with a new Firecrawl connection.

Using Composio Connect MCP

1. Get your MCP URL and API Key

Go to dashboard.composio.dev and copy your Connect MCP URL and API key.

Copy MCP URL and API key from Composio dashboard

2. Open the Hermes config file

bash
nano ~/.hermes/config.yaml

3. Add the Composio Connect MCP server

bash
mcp_servers:
  composio:
    url: "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp"
    headers:
      x-consumer-api-key: "YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY"
    connect_timeout: 60
    timeout: 180

Save with Ctrl + O, Enter, then exit with Ctrl + X.

4. Restart your Hermes agent

Once restarted, ask your agent to connect to Firecrawl or request any Firecrawl-related task. It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

5. Done!

What is the Firecrawl MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Firecrawl MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Firecrawl account. It provides structured and secure access to automated web crawling, scraping, and data extraction, so your agent can perform actions like indexing sites, extracting structured content, mapping URLs, and searching the web on your behalf.

  • Automated web crawling and indexing: Let your agent launch and manage web crawl jobs to gather content or index entire websites efficiently.
  • Structured data extraction: Instruct your agent to extract targeted data from web pages using custom prompts or schemas, turning unstructured sites into actionable information.
  • URL mapping and discovery: Have the agent explore and map all URLs within a website, including options for subdomain inclusion, sitemap processing, or search-based discovery.
  • On-demand scraping and content retrieval: Enable your agent to scrape specific URLs, retrieve page content, and even extract structured JSON using LLM-powered methods.
  • Integrated web search and data collection: Task your agent with running web searches, scraping top result pages, and returning relevant details—all in one workflow.

Map multiple URLsMaps a website by discovering URLs from a starting base URL, with options to customize the crawl via search query, subdomain inclusion, sitemap handling, and result limits; search effectiveness is site-dependent.
Get team queue statusTool to retrieve metrics about the team's scrape queue.
Scrape URLScrapes a publicly accessible URL, optionally performing pre-scrape browser actions or extracting structured JSON using an LLM, to retrieve content in specified formats.
SearchPerforms a web search for a query, scrapes content from the top search results using Firecrawl, and returns details in specified formats.
Start an agent jobTool to start an agent job for agentic web extraction with multi-page navigation and interaction capabilities.
Get team token usageTool to retrieve the current team's token usage and balance information for Firecrawl's Extract feature.

Way Forward

With Firecrawl 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.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Firecrawl MCP?

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

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

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