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 Ip2whois 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 Ip2whois 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 Ip2whois

Ask your agent to connect to Ip2whois, or simply request any Ip2whois-related task. Hermes will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

4. Done. You're all set with a new Ip2whois 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 Ip2whois or request any Ip2whois-related task. It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

5. Done!

What is the Ip2whois MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Ip2whois MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Ip2whois account. It provides structured and secure access to domain and IP WHOIS data, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving domain registration info, checking domain ages, viewing registrant contacts, and discovering domains hosted on specific IPs.

  • Comprehensive domain WHOIS lookup: Instantly fetch key details about any domain, including creation and expiration dates, registrar information, and domain age.
  • Registrant contact information retrieval: Let your agent pull up contact info for domain owners, admins, and technical contacts as needed.
  • Nameserver and DNS data access: Easily get the nameservers associated with a domain for network or security audits.
  • Hosted domains discovery by IP: Find all domains currently hosted on a particular IP address, helping with investigation or infrastructure mapping.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
IP2WHOIS Domain LookupTool to retrieve WHOIS information for a domain.
Hosted Domains LookupTool to retrieve hosted domains for a given IP address.

Way Forward

With Ip2whois 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 Ip2whois MCP?

With a standalone Ip2whois MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Ip2whois tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Ip2whois 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 Ip2whois tools.

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Ip2whois while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Ip2whois 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 Ip2whois data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
