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 Remove bg 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 Remove bg 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 Remove bg

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

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

5. Done!

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

The Remove bg MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Remove bg account. It provides structured and secure access to powerful image background removal features, so your agent can perform actions like instantly removing backgrounds from photos, customizing backgrounds, and checking account usage details on your behalf.

  • Automated background removal from images: Instantly remove backgrounds from product shots, profile pics, or any image using advanced AI—all through your agent.
  • Custom background application: Let the agent swap backgrounds or apply transparent backgrounds for marketing, e-commerce, or social media needs.
  • Account credit and usage monitoring: Have your agent check current credit balance and usage stats so you always know how many removals you have left.
  • Seamless integration with creative workflows: Connect background removal directly into photo editing, listing creation, or design processes for fast, hands-off automation.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Get AccountTool to retrieve account information, including current credit balance.
Remove BackgroundTool to remove background from an image.

Way Forward

With Remove bg 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 Remove bg MCP?

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

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

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