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 Turbot pipes 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.

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.

Integrating Turbot pipes 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
Hermes authenticating with Composio

2. Authenticate

Once the CLI is installed, ask Hermes to authenticate with Composio.

3. Connect to Turbot pipes

Ask your agent to connect to Turbot pipes, or simply request any Turbot pipes-related task. Hermes will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

4. Done. You're all set with a new Turbot pipes connection.


Using Composio Connect MCP

1. Get your MCP URL and API Key

Go to dashboard.composio.dev and copy your Connect MCP URL and API key.

Copy MCP URL and API key from Composio dashboard

2. Open the Hermes config file

bash
nano ~/.hermes/config.yaml

3. Add the Composio Connect MCP server

bash
mcp_servers:
  composio:
    url: "https://connect.composio.dev/mcp"
    headers:
      x-consumer-api-key: "YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY"
    connect_timeout: 60
    timeout: 180

Save with Ctrl + O, Enter, then exit with Ctrl + X.

4. Restart your Hermes agent

Once restarted, ask your agent to connect to Turbot pipes or request any Turbot pipes-related task. It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

5. Done!

What is the Turbot pipes MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Turbot pipes MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Turbot pipes account. It provides structured and secure access to your Turbot Pipes platform, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving activity logs, managing workspaces, exploring identities, viewing organizations, and handling notification endpoints on your behalf.

  • Activity monitoring and auditing: Ask your agent to fetch detailed activity logs for your account, helping you track user actions and audit changes across your Turbot Pipes environment.
  • Workspace and organization management: Retrieve and list all organizations and workspaces associated with your account to keep tabs on your team’s collaboration spaces and resources.
  • Identity exploration and avatar retrieval: Let your agent search identities, fetch details by handle, and even grab profile avatars—useful for user management and directory automation.
  • Notification endpoint discovery: Quickly list all user notifiers set up for your account, so you can manage or audit where and how notifications are delivered.
  • Account and connection insights: Access detailed information about the authenticated actor and their connections to maintain visibility and control over account access and linked integrations.

Way Forward

With Turbot pipes 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.

FAQ

What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Turbot pipes MCP?

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

Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Turbot pipes while using Tool Router?

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