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 Mapbox 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 Mapbox 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 Mapbox

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

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

5. Done!

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

The Mapbox MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Mapbox account. It provides structured and secure access to your mapping and location data, so your agent can perform actions like geocoding addresses, calculating travel routes, retrieving map embeds, and analyzing travel matrices on your behalf.

  • Batch and individual geocoding: Instantly convert addresses or place names to geographic coordinates—or reverse geocode coordinates to place names—using both batch and individual tools.
  • Route and directions retrieval: Let your agent fetch optimized driving, walking, or cycling directions between waypoints, including turn-by-turn instructions when needed.
  • Distance and travel time analysis: Have the agent generate travel time and distance matrices to compare routes or plan logistics across multiple locations.
  • Map style embed generation: Retrieve ready-to-use embeddable HTML for your custom Mapbox map styles, perfect for sharing or displaying maps in web apps.
  • Permanent geocoding and font data retrieval: Access enterprise-grade, cacheable geocoding data or fetch font glyph ranges for custom rendering and advanced mapping use cases.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Batch GeocodingTool to perform batch forward or reverse geocoding for multiple locations.
Forward GeocodingTool to convert free-form or structured address into geographic coordinates and place features.
Permanent Forward GeocodingTool to perform permanent forward geocoding.
Permanent Reverse GeocodingTool to perform permanent reverse geocoding.
Reverse GeocodingTool to reverse geocode coordinates into place names.
Get Access TokenTool to extract and validate mapbox access token from connection metadata.
Request Style Embed HTMLTool to retrieve embeddable html for a mapbox style.
Retrieve DirectionsTool to retrieve directions between waypoints.
Retrieve Font Glyph RangesTool to retrieve font glyph ranges as pbf tiles.
Retrieve MatrixTool to retrieve a travel time and distance matrix.
Retrieve StyleTool to retrieve a mapbox style json.
Retrieve Style WMTSTool to retrieve a wmts document for a mapbox style.
Retrieve Tileset MetadataTool to retrieve metadata for a mapbox tileset.

Way Forward

With Mapbox 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 Mapbox MCP?

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

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

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