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 Route4me 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 Route4me 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 Route4me

Ask your agent to connect to Route4me, or simply request any Route4me-related task. Hermes will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

4. Done. You're all set with a new Route4me 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 Route4me or request any Route4me-related task. It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

5. Done!

What is the Route4me MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Route4me MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Route4me account. It provides structured and secure access to your fleet and route data, so your agent can perform actions like listing vehicles, retrieving asset details, updating destination statuses, and streamlining last-mile logistics on your behalf.

  • Full vehicle inventory retrieval: Instantly ask your agent to pull a complete list of all vehicles in your organization for planning and operational audits.
  • Vehicle data access for route planning: Get detailed information on each vehicle—including capacity and assignment details—to optimize delivery routes.
  • Automated destination status updates: Let your agent mark destinations as completed, skipped, or failed after deliveries or stops, keeping your records accurate in real time.
  • Streamlined delivery confirmation workflows: Have your agent confirm delivery outcomes automatically, ensuring your route progress is always up to date for dispatchers and drivers.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Get VehiclesTool to retrieve details of vehicles in the organization.
Set Destination StatusTool to set or update the status of one or more route destinations.

Way Forward

With Route4me 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 Route4me MCP?

With a standalone Route4me MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Route4me tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Route4me 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 Route4me tools.

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Route4me while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Route4me 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 Route4me data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
