This guide explains the easiest and most robust way to connect your Griptape 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 Griptape with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/griptape/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/griptape/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/griptape/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/griptape/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/griptape/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/griptape/framework/openclaw) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/griptape/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/griptape/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/griptape/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/griptape/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/griptape/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/griptape/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/griptape/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 Griptape to Hermes ### Integrating Griptape 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 Griptape MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Griptape MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Griptape account. It provides structured and secure access to your Griptape platform, so your agent can create assistants, launch and monitor AI runs, retrieve logs, and analyze results automatically on your behalf. - Automated assistant creation and management: Easily direct your agent to create new assistants or list existing ones, making it simple to manage your AI resources in Griptape Cloud. - Launching and controlling assistant runs: Let your agent start new assistant runs, cancel ongoing executions, or fetch the status of any run for streamlined AI workflow management. - Real-time monitoring of assistant activities: Have your agent stream live run events, monitor progress, or retrieve detailed logs to keep tabs on every step of your generative AI processes. - Error handling and diagnostics: Ask your agent to fetch detailed error reports for failed runs, helping you troubleshoot and resolve issues quickly and efficiently. - Result retrieval and historical analysis: Automatically pull final outputs from completed runs and review historical execution data, empowering you to analyze and improve your generative AI pipelines over time. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `GRIPTAPE_ASSISTANT_CREATION` | Assistant Creation | Tool to create a new assistant.

Once connected, Hermes can perform all major Griptape actions on your behalf using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward With Griptape 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 Griptape MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Griptape tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Griptape 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 Griptape tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Griptape while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Griptape 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 Griptape data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
