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 Zenrows 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 Zenrows 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 Zenrows

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

4. Done. You're all set with a new Zenrows 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 Zenrows or request any Zenrows-related task. It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

5. Done!

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

The Zenrows MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Zenrows account. It provides structured and secure access to advanced web scraping capabilities, so your agent can extract structured data, bypass CAPTCHAs, convert pages to PDF, and monitor your API usage on your behalf.

  • Intelligent web data extraction: Direct your agent to scrape and extract plain text or structured data from dynamic websites, including specialized real estate property data from platforms like Zillow or Idealista.
  • PDF and content generation: Ask your agent to convert any web page into a PDF or retrieve clean, formatted plain text for archiving, documentation, or offline reading.
  • Seamless CAPTCHA and block bypassing: Enable your agent to gather data from sites protected by CAPTCHAs or anti-bot systems without manual intervention.
  • Real-time API usage monitoring: Have the agent check your account’s current API usage, concurrency status, and limits to help manage credits and avoid interruptions.
  • Session and compression management: Instruct your agent to maintain consistent scraping sessions, handle compression to optimize bandwidth, and retrieve detailed response headers for debugging and performance optimization.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Get ZenRows API Usage StatisticsThis tool retrieves the current api usage statistics and limits for your zenrows account.
Get Concurrency StatusThis tool retrieves the current concurrency status of your zenrows api usage.
Get Detailed Concurrency StatusThis tool provides detailed information about the current concurrency status and limits of your zenrows account by making a request to the api and analyzing the response headers.

Way Forward

With Zenrows 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 Zenrows MCP?

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

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

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