## 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 PayPal Zettle 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 1,500+ 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 PayPal Zettle to Hermes

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

The PayPal Zettle MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your PayPal Zettle account. It provides structured and secure access to your product library, inventory, purchases, finance data, tax settings, and webhook subscriptions, so your agent can manage products and categories, track stock, review purchases and transactions, and configure discounts and tax rates on your behalf.
- Product library management: Have your agent create, update, list, count, import, and delete products, categories, product images, discounts, and tax rates in your Zettle library.
- Inventory and stock tracking: Let the agent list inventories, check product stock, review low-stock settings, and monitor inventory tracking across your stores.
- Purchase and finance reporting: Direct your agent to retrieve purchases and refunds, list transactions within a date range, check account balances, and review payout information.
- Tax and discount administration: Instruct your agent to retrieve tax settings, manage tax rates, create or remove discounts, and check how many products use each tax rate.
- Webhook subscription management: Have your agent create and delete Zettle webhook subscriptions for selected events and retrieve the signing key needed to verify incoming messages.

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
With PayPal Zettle 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 PayPal Zettle MCP?

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

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

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