## 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 Spotlightr 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 Spotlightr to Hermes

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

The Spotlightr MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Spotlightr account. It provides structured and secure access to your video content and analytics, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving top-performing videos, accessing detailed video metrics, and surfacing engagement insights automatically on your behalf.
- Top video discovery and listing: Instantly ask your agent to fetch and list your most viewed or highest performing Spotlightr videos.
- Video analytics and metrics retrieval: Have your agent pull comprehensive analytics for a specific video, including views, engagement rates, unique viewers, and total watch time.
- Engagement insight extraction: Let the agent surface actionable insights about viewer engagement for any video, making it easy to spot trends and opportunities.
- Automated reporting support: Your agent can collect and summarize video performance data, making regular reporting and decision-making faster and more data-driven.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `SPOTLIGHTR_GET_TOP_VIDEOS` | Get Top Videos | Tool to retrieve the top videos from a spotlightr account. use when you need to list the most viewed videos. |
| `SPOTLIGHTR_GET_VIDEO_METRICS` | Get Video Metrics | Tool to retrieve analytics metrics for a specified video. use when you have a video id and need its metrics (views, engagement, viewers, watch time). |

## Supported Triggers

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

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

## Complete Code

None listed.

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
With Spotlightr 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 Spotlightr MCP?

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

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

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