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 Retellai 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 Retellai 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 Retellai

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

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

5. Done!

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

The Retellai MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Retellai account. It provides structured and secure access to your call records, phone numbers, and conversation transcripts, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving call details, managing phone numbers, initiating outbound calls, and analyzing voice data on your behalf.

  • Retrieve and analyze call records: Your agent can fetch detailed call logs, filter by agent or time, and surface insights from past conversations.
  • Initiate outbound and web-based calls: Easily direct your agent to start new phone or web calls between specific numbers or agents, supporting various business workflows.
  • Manage phone numbers and assignments: Buy, update, or delete phone numbers, and bind them to agents for streamlined inbound and outbound call handling.
  • Access and review call transcripts and details: Let your agent drill down into specific calls, pulling transcripts and metadata for compliance, training, or analytics.
  • Explore and configure voice settings: Fetch detailed information about available voice options, including provider, accent, gender, and preview audio for customization of call experiences.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Buy a new phone number bind agentsThis endpoint allows purchasing a new phone number with a specified area code and binding it to designated agents for inbound and outbound calls.
Create a new outbound phone callInitiate an outbound call by post to '/v2/create-phone-call'.
Create a new web callThe /v2/create-web-call endpoint creates a web call with a unique agent id, returning call details like type, token, call id, and status in json format, with a 201 response.
Delete phone numberDeletes an existing phone number identified by its e.
List all phone numbersRetrieves a list of all phone numbers associated with the account.
Retrieve call detailsThe /v2/list-calls endpoint retrieves call records with filters (agent id, timestamps), offers sorting, pagination, and handles different responses (success, bad request, unauthorized, server error) in json format.
Retrieve call details by idRetrieve call details by id for web/phone calls, including type, agent id, status, timestamps, and web access token; covering responses from success to server errors.
Retrieve details of a specific phone numberFetches the details of a given phone number in e.
Retrieve details of a specific voice"access specific voice details including its name, provider, accent, gender, and a preview audio url using the unique voice id.
Update phone numberUpdates the agent bound to a purchased phone number.

Way Forward

With Retellai 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.

If you run into trouble or want to share what you've built, join the community or check out the Docs for deeper configuration options.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Retellai MCP?

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

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

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