This guide explains the easiest and most robust way to connect your Zerobounce 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 Zerobounce with - [OpenAI Agents SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zerobounce/framework/open-ai-agents-sdk) - [Claude Agent SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zerobounce/framework/claude-agents-sdk) - [Claude Code](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zerobounce/framework/claude-code) - [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zerobounce/framework/claude-cowork) - [Codex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zerobounce/framework/codex) - [OpenClaw](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zerobounce/framework/openclaw) - [CLI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zerobounce/framework/cli) - [Google ADK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zerobounce/framework/google-adk) - [LangChain](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zerobounce/framework/langchain) - [Vercel AI SDK](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zerobounce/framework/ai-sdk) - [Mastra AI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zerobounce/framework/mastra-ai) - [LlamaIndex](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zerobounce/framework/llama-index) - [CrewAI](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zerobounce/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 Zerobounce to Hermes ### Integrating Zerobounce 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 Zerobounce MCP server, and what's possible with it? The Zerobounce MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Zerobounce account. It provides structured and secure access to your email validation and deliverability tools, so your agent can perform actions like validating emails, scoring leads, managing bulk jobs, and analyzing engagement—all automatically. - Real-time email validation: Instantly check if email addresses are valid, risky, or undeliverable before sending campaigns or updating your lists. - Bulk validation and processing: Upload files and process hundreds of emails or domains at once, with tools for tracking job status and retrieving results. - AI-powered lead scoring: Score individual email addresses using Zerobounce AI to assess lead quality and prioritize outreach. - Domain and pattern analysis: Identify common email address formats for any domain or run bulk domain searches to optimize your contact strategies. - Allowlist and blocklist management: Easily update your allow and block lists to fine-tune which addresses pass or fail validation, keeping your lists clean and secure. ## Supported Tools | Tool slug | Name | Description | |---|---|---| | `ZEROBOUNCE_ACTIVITY_DATA` | Get Activity Data | Tool to get activity data (opens, clicks, etc.) for a given email. use after confirming the email address to gauge engagement recency. | | `ZEROBOUNCE_AI_SCORING_SINGLE` | AI Scoring Single Email | Tool to score a single email address using zerobounce ai. use when you need real-time email lead quality feedback before outreach. example prompt: "score the email mark@gmail.com." | | `ZEROBOUNCE_ALLOW_BLOCK_LIST` | Allow or Block List | Tool to manage allowlist and blocklist for email validation. use when you need to programmatically add or modify custom filters before validating emails. | | `ZEROBOUNCE_BATCH_VALIDATE_EMAILS` | Batch Validate Emails | Tool to validate a batch of email addresses in real time. use when you need to validate up to 200 emails at once with optional activity data. | | `ZEROBOUNCE_DELETE_FILE` | Delete file | Tool to delete a file that was submitted for bulk validation. use when file status is 'complete'. | | `ZEROBOUNCE_DOMAIN_SEARCH_FILE_STATUS` | Domain Search File Status | Tool to get the processing status of a file submitted for bulk domain search. use after submitting the file to poll status. | | `ZEROBOUNCE_DOMAIN_SEARCH_GET_FILE` | Domain Search Get File | Tool to download the results file for a completed bulk domain search job. use when you have the file id and the job is complete. | | `ZEROBOUNCE_DOMAIN_SEARCH_SEND_FILE` | Domain Search Send File | Tool to upload a file for bulk domain search. use when you have many domains in a csv/txt and need to lookup their details in bulk. | | `ZEROBOUNCE_DOMAIN_SEARCH_SINGLE` | Domain Search Single | Tool to identify common email address formats for a given domain. use when you need to guess email patterns for a company based on its domain. | | `ZEROBOUNCE_EMAIL_FINDER_DELETE_FILE` | Delete Email Finder File | Tool to delete a file that was submitted for bulk email finding. use when the file processing status is 'complete' and you need to remove it. | | `ZEROBOUNCE_EMAIL_FINDER_FILE_STATUS` | Email Finder File Status | Tool to get the processing status of a file submitted for bulk email finding. use when you need to poll the progress of a bulk email-finder file upload. | | `ZEROBOUNCE_EMAIL_FINDER_SEND_FILE` | Email Finder Send File | Tool to upload a file for bulk email finding. use when you have lists of names and domains to find emails in bulk via csv/txt upload. | | `ZEROBOUNCE_EMAIL_FINDER_SINGLE` | Email Finder Single | Tool to find an email address for a given person and domain. use when you need to locate a professional email from a person's name and company domain. use after confirming domain or company info. | | `ZEROBOUNCE_GET_API_USAGE` | Get API Usage | Tool to retrieve api usage statistics for a given period. use when you need usage metrics between two dates. | | `ZEROBOUNCE_GET_CREDIT_BALANCE` | Get Credit Balance | Tool to retrieve your current zerobounce email validation credit balance. use when you need to monitor remaining credits to avoid service interruptions. | | `ZEROBOUNCE_LIST_EVALUATOR` | List Evaluator | Tool to evaluate the quality of an email list. use when you have a list of emails and need a quick health check before full validation. | | `ZEROBOUNCE_SEND_FILE` | Send File | Tool to upload a file for bulk email validation. use when you need to validate large lists of emails via csv or txt file. | | `ZEROBOUNCE_VALIDATE_EMAIL` | Validate Email | Tool to validate a single email address in real time. use when you need to confirm deliverability and domain details before sending emails. | ## Supported Triggers None listed. ## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK The Zerobounce MCP server provides comprehensive access to Zerobounce operations through Composio. Once connected, Hermes can perform all major Zerobounce actions on your behalf using natural language commands. ## Complete Code None listed. ## Conclusion ### Way Forward With Zerobounce 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 Zerobounce MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Zerobounce tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Zerobounce 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 Zerobounce tools. ### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Zerobounce while using Tool Router? Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Zerobounce 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 Zerobounce data and credentials are handled as safely as possible. --- [See all toolkits](https://composio.dev/toolkits) · [Composio docs](https://docs.composio.dev/llms.txt)
