This guide explains the easiest and most robust way to connect your Virustotal 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 Virustotal with - [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/virustotal/framework/chatgpt) - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/virustotal/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/virustotal/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/virustotal/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/virustotal/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/virustotal/framework/codex) - [Cursor](https://composio.dev/toolkits/virustotal/framework/cursor) - [VS Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/virustotal/framework/vscode) - [OpenCode](https://composio.dev/toolkits/virustotal/framework/opencode) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/virustotal/framework/openclaw) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/virustotal/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/virustotal/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/virustotal/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/virustotal/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/virustotal/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/virustotal/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/virustotal/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 Virustotal to Hermes ### Integrating Virustotal 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 Virustotal MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Virustotal MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Virustotal account. It provides structured and secure access to malicious file, URL, domain, and IP analysis, so your agent can perform actions like scanning files, retrieving threat reports, investigating domains, and posting comments or verdicts on your behalf. - Comprehensive threat analysis retrieval: Instantly fetch detailed reports on files, URLs, domains, or IP addresses to understand their security reputation and scan results from dozens of antivirus engines. - Relationship and metadata insights: Have your agent explore related entities—such as domains linked to a file, or files associated with an IP address—along with receiving broad metadata about available VirusTotal operations. - Automated commenting and feedback: Use your agent to post contextual comments on any analyzed resource, making collaboration and documentation of findings much easier. - Community-driven voting: Submit harmless or malicious verdicts on files and URLs after reviewing analysis, helping to crowdsource threat intelligence and improve detection accuracy. - Latest user comment retrieval: Let your agent pull up the most recent comments on a file, URL, domain, or IP address to quickly access community feedback and insights. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `VIRUSTOTAL_ADD_COMMENT` | Add VirusTotal Comment | Tool to add a comment to a virustotal resource (file, url, domain, or ip address). use after analyzing a resource to leave contextual feedback. provide exactly one identifier per call. | | `VIRUSTOTAL_ADD_VOTE` | Add Vote | Tool to add a vote (harmless/malicious) to a virustotal resource. use after reviewing analysis results to submit your verdict. | | `VIRUSTOTAL_GET_ANALYSIS` | Get Analysis Report | Tool to retrieve the analysis report of a file or url submission. use after obtaining an analysis id to fetch its detailed report. | | `VIRUSTOTAL_GET_COMMENTS` | Get comments | Tool to retrieve the latest comments on a virustotal resource. use when you need to review user-generated comments for a file, url, domain, or ip after obtaining its identifier. | | `VIRUSTOTAL_GET_DOMAIN_RELATIONSHIPS` | Get Domain Relationships | Tool to retrieve relationship objects for a given domain. use when you have a domain and need to explore its related entities. | | `VIRUSTOTAL_GET_DOMAIN_REPORT` | Get Domain Report | Tool to retrieve the analysis report of a domain. use when you need detailed insight on a domain's reputation and analysis stats. | | `VIRUSTOTAL_GET_FILE_REPORT` | Get File Report | Tool to retrieve the analysis report of a file. use when you have a file's hash and need detailed scan metadata. | | `VIRUSTOTAL_GET_IP_ADDRESS_RELATIONSHIPS` | Get IP Address Relationships | Tool to retrieve objects related to a specific ip address by relationship type. use when you have an ip and need to explore connected files, urls, or other entities. | | `VIRUSTOTAL_GET_IP_ADDRESS_REPORT` | Get IP Address Report | Tool to retrieve the analysis report of an ip address. use when you need detailed insight on an ip's reputation, asn, country, and analysis stats. | | `VIRUSTOTAL_GET_METADATA` | Get VirusTotal Metadata | Tool to retrieve virustotal metadata. use when you need to list all available api endpoints with methods, summaries, and urls. | | `VIRUSTOTAL_GET_URL_REPORT` | Get URL Report | Tool to retrieve the analysis report of a url. use when you have a url identifier (base64-url without padding) and need detailed scan results, reputation, and metadata. | | `VIRUSTOTAL_GET_VOTES` | Get Votes | Tool to retrieve votes on files, urls, domains, or ip addresses. use when you need to view community votes for a given object. | | `VIRUSTOTAL_RESCAN_FILE` | Rescan File | Tool to re-analyze a previously submitted file. use when you need updated analysis results after an initial scan. | | `VIRUSTOTAL_SCAN_URL` | Scan URL | Tool to submit a url for scanning. use when you have a url and need to submit it to virustotal to obtain an analysis id for later retrieval. | | `VIRUSTOTAL_SEARCH` | Search VirusTotal | Tool to search for objects in the virustotal database. use when locating files, urls, domains, ips, or comments matching a query. supports pagination with limit and cursor. | | `VIRUSTOTAL_UPLOAD_FILE` | Upload File | Tool to upload a file for scanning. use when you have binary file content ready to submit for virustotal analysis. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Virustotal MCP server provides comprehensive access to Virustotal operations through Composio. Once connected, Hermes can perform all major Virustotal actions on your behalf using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward With Virustotal 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 Virustotal MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Virustotal tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Virustotal 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 Virustotal tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Virustotal while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Virustotal 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 Virustotal data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
