This guide explains the easiest and most robust way to connect your Shorten rest 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 Shorten rest with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/shorten_rest/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/shorten_rest/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/shorten_rest/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/shorten_rest/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/shorten_rest/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/shorten_rest/framework/openclaw) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/shorten_rest/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/shorten_rest/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/shorten_rest/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/shorten_rest/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/shorten_rest/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/shorten_rest/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/shorten_rest/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 Shorten rest to Hermes ### Integrating Shorten rest 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 Shorten rest MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Shorten rest MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Shorten.REST account. It provides structured and secure access to your link management tools, so your agent can perform actions like creating short URLs, managing branded links, tracking analytics, and organizing your shortened links on your behalf. - Instant URL shortening: Ask your agent to quickly generate shortened links for any URL with just a command. - Branded link creation: Let your agent create custom, branded short URLs to match your organization's identity. - Analytics and click tracking: Retrieve detailed analytics on link clicks, usage trends, and engagement metrics directly through your agent. - Link organization and management: Have your agent list, update, or delete your shortened links to keep your link library organized and up-to-date. - Bulk link processing: Enable your agent to handle multiple URL shortening or management tasks in a single workflow, saving you valuable time. ## Supported Tools None listed. ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Shorten rest MCP server provides comprehensive access to Shorten rest operations through Composio. Once connected, Hermes can perform all major Shorten rest actions on your behalf using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward With Shorten rest 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 Shorten rest MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Shorten rest tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Shorten rest 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 Shorten rest tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Shorten rest while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Shorten rest 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 Shorten rest data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
