MongoDB MCP is MongoDB's managed interface for accessing Atlas resources and data. Use it for secure, centralized access to clusters, databases, and collections.

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 MongoDB 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 1,500+ 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 MongoDB 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 MongoDB

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

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

5. Done!

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

The MongoDB MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your MongoDB account. It provides structured and secure access to your MongoDB Atlas resources, databases, collections, documents, indexes, and performance data, so your agent can explore data, run queries, manage collections, optimize indexes, and administer Atlas resources on your behalf.

  • Database exploration and analysis: Have your agent list databases and collections, inspect schemas and storage use, count documents, and review database statistics.
  • Document queries and data changes: Direct your agent to find or aggregate documents, insert multiple records, or delete records that match a filter.
  • Collection and index management: Let the agent create, rename, or drop collections, inspect existing indexes, and create or remove indexes.
  • Query and performance optimization: Instruct your agent to explain query execution and retrieve Atlas performance recommendations for indexes, schemas, and recent operations.
  • Atlas resource administration: Have your agent create and inspect projects, clusters, database users, and network access lists, list alerts, load sample data, or pause, resume, and upgrade supported clusters.

Way Forward

With MongoDB 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

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone MongoDB MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of MongoDB tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from MongoDB and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

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 MongoDB tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which MongoDB 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.

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 MongoDB data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
