## 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 QuickNode 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.

## TL;DR

### 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.

## Connect QuickNode MCP to Hermes

### Integrating QuickNode 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 QuickNode MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The QuickNode MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your QuickNode account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform QuickNode operations on your behalf.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `QUICKNODE_MCP_CALL_RPC` | Call-rpc | Call an allowed read-only JSON-RPC method through authenticated Quicknode Tooling Access. Use the network slug from list-chains; call list-chains first if it is unknown. |
| `QUICKNODE_MCP_CREATE_ENDPOINT` | Create-endpoint | Create a new web3 RPC endpoint for a given chain and network under user's Quicknode account. This can error if the chain and network combination is not supported or if the user has reached their endpoint limit, in which case the user should try a different chain and network combination (can request list-chains tool for information on supported chains) or delete an existing endpoint |
| `QUICKNODE_MCP_CREATE_ENDPOINT_METHOD_RATE_LIMIT` | Create-endpoint-method-rate-limit | Create a new method-specific rate limiter for a Quicknode endpoint |
| `QUICKNODE_MCP_CREATE_SECURITY_RULE` | Create-security-rule | Create a security rule for a Quicknode endpoint. Supports types: ip, jwt, referrer, domain_mask, token. Provide the type-specific fields alongside the type parameter. |
| `QUICKNODE_MCP_DELETE_ENDPOINT` | Delete-endpoint | Archive a Quicknode endpoint by its ID. This will archive the endpoint and make it inactive. THIS IS A DESTRUCTIVE ACTION |
| `QUICKNODE_MCP_DELETE_ENDPOINT_METHOD_RATE_LIMIT` | Delete-endpoint-method-rate-limit | Delete a method-specific rate limit from a Quicknode endpoint. THIS IS A DESTRUCTIVE ACTION |
| `QUICKNODE_MCP_DELETE_SECURITY_RULE` | Delete-security-rule | Delete a security rule from a Quicknode endpoint. THIS IS A DESTRUCTIVE ACTION. Use the list-endpoint-security tool first to find the rule type and rule_id. |
| `QUICKNODE_MCP_DISABLE_TOOLING_ACCESS` | Disable-tooling-access | Disable account-level Quicknode Tooling Access. |
| `QUICKNODE_MCP_ENABLE_TOOLING_ACCESS` | Enable-tooling-access | Enable account-level Quicknode Tooling Access. This provisions an account-level shared RPC endpoint for use by Quicknode developer tools and caches its short-lived access credential. |
| `QUICKNODE_MCP_GET_BILLING` | Get-billing | Get billing data for the user's Quicknode account. Use type to get invoices or payments. |
| `QUICKNODE_MCP_GET_ENDPOINT` | Get-endpoint | Get a specific web3 Quicknode endpoint details by id |
| `QUICKNODE_MCP_GET_ENDPOINT_LOG_DETAILS` | Get-endpoint-log-details | Get detailed request and response information for a specific log entry. This provides the raw request payload and full response that were logged for a particular request |
| `QUICKNODE_MCP_GET_ENDPOINT_METRICS` | Get-endpoint-metrics | Get metrics for a specific Quicknode endpoint. Supports various metrics like method calls, response status, and response times over different time periods |
| `QUICKNODE_MCP_GET_RPC_USAGE` | Get-rpc-usage | Get the usage data for the user's Quicknode RPC account. Use breakdown_by to get usage by endpoint, method, or chain. The start_time and end_time parameters are ISO 8601 date strings. |
| `QUICKNODE_MCP_LIST_CHAINS` | List-chains | List all chains and network slugs supported by Quicknode. |
| `QUICKNODE_MCP_LIST_ENDPOINT_LOGS` | List-endpoint-logs | List the request/response logs for a specific Quicknode endpoint |
| `QUICKNODE_MCP_LIST_ENDPOINT_METHOD_RATE_LIMITS` | List-endpoint-method-rate-limits | List all method rate limits for a specific Quicknode endpoint |
| `QUICKNODE_MCP_LIST_ENDPOINTS` | List-endpoints | Get web3 Quicknode endpoints for the user, this is a list of all the endpoints that the user has created across all chains and networks. Supports pagination via limit and offset parameters |
| `QUICKNODE_MCP_LIST_ENDPOINT_SECURITY` | List-endpoint-security | List all security options and rules for a Quicknode endpoint. Shows which security features are enabled/disabled and all configured rules (ip, jwt, referrer, domain_mask, token) with their rule IDs. |
| `QUICKNODE_MCP_UPDATE_ENDPOINT_METHOD_RATE_LIMIT` | Update-endpoint-method-rate-limit | Update an existing method-specific rate limit for a Quicknode endpoint |
| `QUICKNODE_MCP_UPDATE_ENDPOINT_RATE_LIMITS` | Update-endpoint-rate-limits | Update the general rate limits (RPS, RPM, RPD) for a Quicknode endpoint. Pass a positive integer to set a user override for that bucket, or pass -1 to remove an existing user override and fall back to the plan default; -1 on a bucket that has no override is a no-op and is reported in the `skipped` array. Each plan has a maximum rate limit per bucket; if you request a value above that maximum, the request still succeeds but the plan's maximum is applied for that bucket (e.g. setting rps=1000 on a plan with a 500 rps ceiling results in 500 rps enforced). Available to Build plans and higher (Discover/Free are read-only here). Returns a `before` and `after` snapshot of the enforced rate-limit rows so the caller can see what changed. |
| `QUICKNODE_MCP_UPDATE_ENDPOINT_SECURITY_OPTIONS` | Update-endpoint-security-options | Update security options for a specific Quicknode endpoint |

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The QuickNode MCP server provides comprehensive access to QuickNode operations through Composio. Once connected, Hermes can perform all major QuickNode actions on your behalf using natural language commands.

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
With QuickNode 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.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and QuickNode MCP?

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

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

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