## 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 Helpdesk 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 Helpdesk to Hermes

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

The Helpdesk MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Helpdesk account. It provides structured and secure access to your ticketing system, so your agent can perform actions like listing support agents, managing contacts, retrieving canned responses, and reviewing automation rules on your behalf.
- Agent and team management: Instantly list all support agents and teams in your Helpdesk account, making it easy to organize and delegate customer inquiries.
- Contact and subscription retrieval: Pull up detailed contact lists and subscription information so your agent always has up-to-date customer and account data at hand.
- Canned response access: Let your agent fetch and suggest predefined reply templates, ensuring fast and consistent communication with customers.
- Rules and automation overview: Review all configured automation rules in your helpdesk, helping your agent stay aligned with your business processes and ticketing workflows.
- Account configuration insights: Retrieve lists of custom fields, reply addresses, licenses, and email domains to support personalized automation and account management tasks.

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
With Helpdesk 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 Helpdesk MCP?

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

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

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