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 Nasdaq 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 Nasdaq 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 Nasdaq

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

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

5. Done!

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

The Nasdaq MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Nasdaq Data Link account. It provides structured and secure access to real-time financial data, analyst ratings, dividend histories, and more, so your agent can fetch live quotes, analyze trends, retrieve historical performance, and power your financial insights automatically.

  • Real-time stock quote retrieval: Instantly get up-to-the-second price quotes and market data for any supported symbol, enabling timely investment decisions and market monitoring.
  • Analyst ratings and target price lookup: Access the latest analyst recommendations and price targets for specific symbols to inform your trading strategies and research.
  • Historical dividend tracking: Retrieve detailed dividend history for any stock, supporting portfolio income analysis and historical return calculations.
  • Table metadata and structure exploration: Let your agent fetch and understand datatable schemas, making it easy to build data-driven applications with accurate column definitions and sample data.
  • Targeted data row and table queries: Pull specific rows or tables updated on certain dates, supporting custom research, analysis, and reporting workflows.

Tools
Get Datatable Metadata (All Symbols)Retrieves metadata for a specified datatable, which includes column definitions and potentially example data containing symbols.
Get Analyst Ratings and Target PricesRetrieves analyst ratings and target prices for a specific symbol using zacks datatables (zacks/ar for ratings, zacks/tp for target prices).
Get Dividend HistoryRetrieves dividend history for a specific symbol.
Get Real-Time QuoteRetrieves real-time quote data for a specific symbol.
Get Specific Table RowRetrieves a specific row from a table by filtering on a specified column and value.
Get Tables by Update DateRetrieves all tables updated on a specific date by fetching all tables and filtering them.

Way Forward

With Nasdaq 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 Nasdaq MCP?

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

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

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