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 Peopledatalabs 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 Peopledatalabs 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 Peopledatalabs

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

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

5. Done!

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

The Peopledatalabs MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Peopledatalabs account. It provides structured and secure access to rich B2B data, so your agent can enrich profiles, standardize company details, validate customer information, and perform advanced searches with ease.

  • Comprehensive person data enrichment: Automatically enhance individual profiles using identifiers like email, phone, or full name combined with company or location data.
  • Company data validation and enrichment: Instantly verify and enrich company details with firmographics, employee counts, and standardized fields to power your workflows.
  • Advanced person search and filtering: Leverage Elasticsearch-powered queries to find the exact professional profiles you need using job title, skills, experience, and more.
  • Data cleaning and standardization: Cleanse and structure raw company, school, or location data to maintain high-quality records in your systems.
  • Skill and job title enrichment: Provide context and standardized information for job titles or professional skills to improve analytics and targeting.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Autocomplete field suggestionsProvides autocompletion suggestions for a specific field (e.
Clean company dataCleans and standardizes company information based on a name, website, or profile url; providing at least one of these inputs is highly recommended for meaningful results.
Clean location dataCleans and standardizes a raw, unformatted location string into a structured representation, provided the input is a recognizable geographical place.
Clean school dataCleans and standardizes school information; provide at least one of the school's name, website, or profile for optimal results.
Person Search with ElasticsearchPerforms a search for person profiles within people data labs using a custom elasticsearch domain specific language (dsl) query.
Enrich Company DataEnriches company data from people data labs with details like firmographics and employee counts, requiring at least one company identifier.
Enrich IP DataEnriches an ip address with company, location, metadata, and person data from people data labs.
Enrich job title dataEnhances a job title by providing additional contextual information and details.
Enrich person dataEnriches person data using various identifiers; requires a primary id (profile, email, phone, email hash, lid, pdl id) or a name (full, or first and last) combined with another demographic detail (e.
Enrich skill dataRetrieves detailed, standardized information for a given skill by querying the people data labs skill enrichment api; for best results, provide a recognized professional skill or area of expertise.
Generate Search QueryConverts natural language queries into structured pdl elasticsearch queries for people or company searches; generates optimized query structure without executing the search.
Get column detailsRetrieves predefined enum values for a column name from `enum mappings.
Get schemaRetrieves the schema, including field names, descriptions, and data types, for 'person' or 'company' entity types.
Identify person dataRetrieves detailed profile information for an individual from people data labs (pdl), requiring at least one identifier such as email, phone, profile url, name, or company.
People Search with ElasticsearchSearches for person profiles in the people data labs (pdl) database using an elasticsearch domain specific language (dsl) query.

Way Forward

With Peopledatalabs 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 Peopledatalabs MCP?

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

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

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