This guide explains the easiest and most robust way to connect your Mx toolbox 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. ## Also integrate Mx toolbox with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mx_toolbox/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mx_toolbox/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mx_toolbox/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mx_toolbox/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mx_toolbox/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mx_toolbox/framework/openclaw) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mx_toolbox/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mx_toolbox/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mx_toolbox/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mx_toolbox/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mx_toolbox/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mx_toolbox/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/mx_toolbox/framework/crew-ai) ## TL;DR ### 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. ## Connect Mx toolbox to Hermes ### Integrating Mx toolbox 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 ``` ## What is the Mx toolbox MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Mx toolbox MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Mx toolbox account. It provides structured and secure access to network diagnostic and email health tools, so your agent can perform actions like DNS lookups, blacklist checks, email authentication analysis, and connectivity testing on your behalf. - Automated DNS and MX record lookups: Instantly retrieve DNS, MX, DKIM, DMARC, and MTA-STS records for any domain to verify configuration and troubleshoot email delivery issues. - Blacklist monitoring and alerting: Check if your domain or IP is listed on common blacklists, helping you stay ahead of email deliverability problems and security risks. - Email authentication validation: Validate BIMI, DKIM, and DMARC records to ensure your domain's outgoing emails are properly authenticated and protected against spoofing. - Network and SMTP diagnostics: Run ping, HTTP, and SMTP lookups to diagnose connectivity issues, measure latency, or assess mail server responsiveness—no manual testing required. - Brand and security checks: Use BIMI and MTA-STS lookups to confirm your brand indicators and mail transport security policies are correctly published and compliant. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_BIMI_RECORD` | Lookup BIMI Record | Tool to retrieve bimi (brand indicators for message identification) record for a domain. use when checking domain brand identity via bimi lookup. | | `MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_BLACKLIST` | Lookup Blacklist | Tool to perform a blacklist check on a domain or ip. use when you need to verify whether a domain or ip is listed in common blacklists. | | `MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_DKIM` | Lookup DKIM Record | Tool to retrieve dkim records for a domain. use when verifying dkim configuration before sending email. | | `MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_DMARC` | Lookup DMARC Record | Tool to retrieve dmarc records for a domain. use after confirming the domain is correctly formatted. | | `MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_DNS` | Lookup DNS Records | Tool to retrieve dns records for a given domain. use when you need dns lookup details. | | `MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_HTTP` | HTTP Lookup | Tool to perform an http test on a domain. use when you need to assess http connectivity and status for a given domain. | | `MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_MTA_STS_RECORD` | Lookup MTA-STS Record | Tool to lookup mta-sts record for a domain. use when validating mail transport security policy. | | `MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_MX` | Lookup MX Records | Tool to retrieve mx records for a given domain. use when you need to discover mail exchange servers after obtaining a domain. | | `MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_PING` | Ping Lookup | Tool to perform a ping test on a specified domain or ip address. use when you need hop-by-hop network latency diagnostics. | | `MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_SMTP` | SMTP Lookup | Tool to perform an smtp test on the specified domain. use when verifying smtp connectivity for a domain. | | `MX_TOOLBOX_LOOKUP_SPF` | Lookup SPF Record | Tool to retrieve spf records for a specified domain. use when confirming email sender authorization policies. | | `MX_TOOLBOX_MONITOR_STATUS` | Monitor Status | Tool to retrieve all monitor statuses. use when you need to get current health details of all account monitors. | | `MX_TOOLBOX_USAGE_CHECK` | Check Usage | Tool to retrieve api usage statistics. use when you need to monitor remaining api calls and quota reset timing. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Mx toolbox MCP server provides comprehensive access to Mx toolbox operations through Composio. Once connected, Hermes can perform all major Mx toolbox actions on your behalf using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward With Mx toolbox 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.

With a standalone Mx toolbox MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Mx toolbox tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Mx toolbox 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 Mx toolbox tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Mx toolbox while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Mx toolbox 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 Mx toolbox data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
