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 Optimoroute 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 Optimoroute 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 Optimoroute

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

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

5. Done!

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

The Optimoroute MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Optimoroute account. It provides structured and secure access to your logistics and planning data, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving driver details, viewing planned delivery routes, checking route assignments, and monitoring driver status on your behalf.

  • Live driver roster and status retrieval: Instantly fetch up-to-date information about all drivers, including their current availability and contact details.
  • Planned route overview for any date: Have your agent pull a detailed list of all planned routes for a specific date, including stop information and route parameters.
  • Monitor unassigned orders and route gaps: Easily identify orders that haven’t been assigned to a route, helping you spot scheduling bottlenecks.
  • Centralized route and driver reporting: Aggregate route and driver data to power dashboards or daily logistics summaries, all via your AI agent.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Get DriversTool to retrieve all drivers in the system.
Get Planned RoutesTool to retrieve all planned routes for a given date.

Way Forward

With Optimoroute 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 Optimoroute MCP?

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

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

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