## 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 Smugmug 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 Smugmug to Hermes

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

The Smugmug MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Smugmug account. It provides structured and secure access to your photo galleries and user profile, so your agent can perform actions like browsing folders, listing albums, retrieving photo details, and exploring your Smugmug structure on your behalf.
- Retrieve folder and album details: Instantly fetch information about specific folders or albums, including creation dates, node IDs, and highlight albums.
- Explore your Smugmug hierarchy: Ask your agent to list all child nodes—albums or folders—within any parent node, helping you navigate your photo organization with ease.
- List albums in any folder: Let your agent pull comprehensive lists of albums within a designated folder, even handling large collections with pagination.
- Get public user profile info: Retrieve your Smugmug public profile details to share or review your online photography presence.
- Access node-specific data: Have your agent look up details for any node (album, folder, or page) using its unique identifier, supporting granular photo management and discovery.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `SMUGMUG_GET_FOLDER_DETAILS` | Get Folder Details | This tool retrieves the details of a specific folder for a smugmug user using its node id. tags = ["important", "openworldhint", "readonlyhint"] creation and modification dates, node id, and optionally the uri of the album set as the highlight. |
| `SMUGMUG_GET_NODE_DETAILS` | Get Node Details | This tool retrieves the details for a specific node (e.g., album, folder, page) using its unique nodeid. it uses the api endpoint get /api/v2/node/{nodeid} to fetch details such as uri, nodeid, name, type, and urlpath. |
| `SMUGMUG_GET_USER_PROFILE` | Get User Profile | Retrieves the public profile information for a smugmug user. |
| `SMUGMUG_LIST_ALBUMS_IN_FOLDER` | List Albums in Folder | This tool retrieves a list of all albums within a specified user's folder on smugmug. it allows for pagination to handle large numbers of albums. |
| `SMUGMUG_LIST_CHILD_NODES` | List Child Nodes | Retrieves a list of all child nodes (albums or folders) for a specified parent node in smugmug. |

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Smugmug MCP server provides comprehensive access to Smugmug operations through Composio. Once connected, Hermes can perform all major Smugmug actions on your behalf using natural language commands.

## Complete Code

None listed.

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
With Smugmug 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 Smugmug MCP?

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

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

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