## 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 Remote retrieval 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 1,000+ 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 Remote retrieval to Hermes

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

The Remote retrieval MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Remote retrieval account. It provides structured and secure access to your company’s equipment logistics, so your agent can perform actions like listing equipment return orders, validating API access, and fetching company details on your behalf.
- Comprehensive order tracking and listing: Ask your agent to retrieve a paginated list of all equipment return orders, with optional filters for status or date to keep tabs on ongoing returns.
- Company information retrieval: Let your agent pull detailed company information instantly, helping with audits, reporting, or support workflows.
- API key validation automation: Have your agent confirm that your API key is valid before performing sensitive actions, ensuring secure and authorized access every time.
- Status-based filtering of return orders: Easily filter and fetch orders by their current status (e.g., pending, completed) to streamline logistics reviews or escalation processes.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `REMOTE_RETRIEVAL_GET_ALL_ORDERS` | Get All Orders | Tool to retrieve a paginated list of all orders. use when you need to list orders with optional filters like status or dates. call after authentication. |
| `REMOTE_RETRIEVAL_GET_COMPANY_DETAILS` | Get Company Details | Tool to retrieve detailed information for a company. use after confirming a valid company id. |
| `REMOTE_RETRIEVAL_VALIDATE_USER` | RemoteRetrieval: Validate User | Tool to validate the provided api key. use when you need to confirm the api key's validity. |

## Supported Triggers

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

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

## Complete Code

None listed.

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
With Remote retrieval 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 Remote retrieval MCP?

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

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

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