## 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 Sendbird 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 Sendbird to Hermes

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

The Sendbird MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Sendbird account. It provides structured and secure access to your in-app chat, voice, and video features, so your agent can perform actions like creating group channels, managing users, moderating conversations, and tracking unread message counts on your behalf.
- Group channel management: Let your agent create new group channels, add or ban members, and delete channels as needed to keep conversations organized and secure.
- User account administration: Automatically register new users or remove users from your Sendbird application, simplifying user lifecycle management.
- Message moderation and cleanup: Empower your agent to delete specific messages—helping enforce community guidelines and remove unwanted content instantly.
- Unread count and status tracking: Retrieve up-to-date counts of unread messages, mentions, and channel invitations for any user to surface important conversations.
- Channel preference insights: Access and update user count preferences in group channels, tailoring notification and message delivery based on user needs.

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
With Sendbird 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 Sendbird MCP?

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

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

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