How to integrate Fireflies MCP with Hermes

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 Fireflies 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 Fireflies 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 Fireflies

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

4. Done. You're all set with a new Fireflies 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 Fireflies or request any Fireflies-related task. It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

5. Done!

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

The Fireflies MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Fireflies account. It provides structured and secure access to your voice conversations, so your agent can perform actions like transcribing meetings, summarizing discussions, searching transcripts, and managing audio files on your behalf.

  • Automated meeting transcription: Instantly upload audio files or add the Fireflies bot to live meetings so your agent can generate accurate transcripts for later review.
  • AI-powered conversation summarization: Let your agent fetch concise, actionable summaries of calls and meetings to help you quickly catch up or share insights with your team.
  • Transcript search and retrieval: Ask your agent to find specific transcripts or extract key segments from past conversations using keywords, dates, or participant names.
  • Audio file management: Effortlessly upload, organize, or delete audio files and transcripts right from your agent, keeping your conversation library up to date.
  • User and team insights: Enable your agent to fetch user details or team-wide meeting data, so you can stay on top of collaboration and engagement.

Way Forward

With Fireflies 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

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Fireflies MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Fireflies tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Fireflies and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

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 Fireflies tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Fireflies 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.

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 Fireflies data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
