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 Honeyhive 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 Honeyhive 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 Honeyhive

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

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

5. Done!

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

The Honeyhive MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Honeyhive account. It provides structured and secure access to your AI observability platform, so your agent can perform actions like managing datasets, logging model and tool events, evaluating runs, and configuring project settings on your behalf.

  • Dataset management and organization: Create, retrieve, and delete datasets for your AI projects, helping you maintain organized and up-to-date evaluation data.
  • Efficient event logging: Log batches of model or external tool events, enabling comprehensive tracking and analysis of AI system interactions in real-time.
  • Data curation and cleanup: Add new datapoints to datasets or remove specific datapoints, ensuring your evaluation data remains accurate and relevant.
  • Streamlined evaluation workflows: Mark evaluation runs as completed and fetch project configuration details, making it easy to track progress and update run statuses automatically.

Way Forward

With Honeyhive 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 Honeyhive MCP?

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

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

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