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 Here 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 Here 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 Here

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

4. Done. You're all set with a new Here 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.

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

The Here MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Here account. It provides structured and secure access to powerful location, mapping, and geocoding services, so your agent can perform actions like searching places, calculating routes, fetching map imagery, and converting addresses or coordinates on your behalf.

  • Smart place discovery and suggestions: Ask your agent to find points of interest, get autosuggested places based on partial queries, or discover addresses near a location.
  • Geocoding and reverse geocoding: Convert addresses to geographic coordinates or vice versa, enabling seamless location lookup and mapping in your workflows.
  • Map tile and imagery retrieval: Direct your agent to fetch satellite, base, or hybrid map tiles for specific locations, zoom levels, and formats for rich visual context.
  • Advanced routing and fleet planning: Have your agent calculate optimized routes with vehicle profiles, constraints, and even isolines for reachable areas based on time or distance.
  • Nearby search and contextual browsing: Let your agent browse or search for places around a given location, filtered by categories or names, to surface relevant local information.

Way Forward

With Here 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 Here MCP?

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

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

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