This guide explains the easiest and most robust way to connect your Short io 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. ## Also integrate Short io with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/short_io/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/short_io/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/short_io/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/short_io/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/short_io/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/short_io/framework/openclaw) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/short_io/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/short_io/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/short_io/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/short_io/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/short_io/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/short_io/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/short_io/framework/crew-ai) ## 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 Short io to Hermes ### Integrating Short io 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 Short io MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Short io MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Short io account. It provides structured and secure access to your branded short links, so your agent can create and manage links, retrieve analytics, organize domains, and optimize your link campaigns automatically. - Automated branded link creation and management: Instantly generate new short links, fetch details, update metadata, and organize your links by domain—all on demand. - Comprehensive click analytics and statistics: Retrieve detailed click metrics for individual links or aggregated data by domain to track performance and measure engagement. - Popular path and traffic insights: Analyze the most visited short link paths in your domains over time to understand which content resonates with your audience. - Granular permissions and access control: Check and manage user permissions on links within your domains, ensuring secure collaboration and streamlined workflows. - Open Graph and targeting customization: Review and adjust Open Graph properties for better link previews and set up advanced targeting rules by region or country to maximize reach. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `SHORT_IO_GET_DOMAINS_LINK_CLICKS` | Get Domain Link Clicks | Tool to get click statistics for all links in a domain. use when you need aggregated click counts for specific link ids within a branded domain. example: "get click counts for links ['id1','id2'] in domain '12345'". | | `SHORT_IO_GET_DOMAINS_PATHS` | Get Domain Paths | Tool to list the most popular paths in a domain over time. use after confirming a valid domain id to analyze which short url paths under that domain have received the most clicks in the given interval. | | `SHORT_IO_GET_LINK_INFO_BY_LINK_ID` | Get Link Info by Link ID | Tool to get detailed info for a link by id. use when you need to retrieve all metadata for a specific short url after creation. | | `SHORT_IO_GET_LINK_INFO_BY_PATH` | Get Link Info by Path | Tool to get link info by its path and domain. use when you need to look up a branded short link by its path within a specific domain. | | `SHORT_IO_GET_LINK_OPEN_GRAPH_PROPERTIES` | Get Link OpenGraph Properties | Tool to retrieve opengraph settings for a link. use after creating or updating a link to verify its social metadata. | | `SHORT_IO_GET_LINK_PERMISSIONS` | Get Link Permissions | Tool to list all user permissions for a link. use after confirming domain and link ids to fetch current access assignments. example: "list permissions for link 'abcde123' in domain '12345'". | | `SHORT_IO_GET_LINK_REGION_LIST_COUNTRY` | Get Link Regions by Country | Tool to list all regions available for a country. use when targeting links by region within a specific country. | | `SHORT_IO_GET_LINK_REGIONS` | Get Link Regions | Tool to get region-based targeting rules for a link. use after fetching country-level rules to retrieve more granular region overrides. | | `SHORT_IO_GET_LINKS_LIST` | Get Links List | Tool to list short links on a domain with optional filters. use after confirming the domain to retrieve or search links by criteria. | | `SHORT_IO_GET_LINK_STATISTICS` | Get Link Statistics | Tool to get click statistics for a specific link. use when you need detailed click metrics over a specified interval. | | `SHORT_IO_GET_LINK_TWEETBOT` | Get Link (Tweetbot) | Tool to quickly create a link via query string (tweetbot). use when you cannot use the post create-link endpoint and need a simple get workaround. | | `SHORT_IO_POST_DOMAINS_BY_INTERVAL` | Get Domain Statistics by Interval | Tool to retrieve domain statistics over a custom interval. use when you need time-series click data for a specific domain over a defined time window. | | `SHORT_IO_POST_DOMAINS_LAST_CLICKS` | Post Domains Last Clicks | Tool to retrieve the latest raw click events for a domain. use when detailed clickstream data is needed. | | `SHORT_IO_POST_DOMAINS_TOP` | Get Domain Top Values | Tool to retrieve top values of a specified column by click count. use after confirming domain id and choosing a column. | | `SHORT_IO_POST_LINKS_ARCHIVE_BULK` | Archive Links in Bulk | Tool to archive multiple links in one call. use when you need to deactivate or hide a set of short links at once. | | `SHORT_IO_POST_LINKS_BULK` | Create Links in Bulk | Tool to create up to 1000 short links in one call. use when bulk shortening multiple urls. | | `SHORT_IO_POST_LINKS_QR_BULK` | Generate QR Codes in Bulk | Tool to generate qr codes for multiple links in bulk. use when you need to retrieve qr codes for several short links at once. | | `SHORT_IO_POST_LINKS_UNARCHIVE_BULK` | Unarchive Links in Bulk | Tool to unarchive multiple links in bulk. use when you need to restore visibility of a set of previously archived short links at once. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Short io MCP server provides comprehensive access to Short io operations through Composio. Once connected, Hermes can perform all major Short io actions on your behalf using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward With Short io 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.

With a standalone Short io MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Short io tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Short io 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 Short io tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Short io while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Short io 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 Short io data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
