## 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 Zoho People 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 Zoho People with

- [ChatGPT](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoho_people/framework/chatgpt)
- [Claude Cowork](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoho_people/framework/claude-cowork)
- [Atomic Agent](https://composio.dev/toolkits/zoho_people/framework/atomic-agent)

## 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 Zoho People to Hermes

### Integrating Zoho People 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 Zoho People MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Zoho People MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Zoho People account. It provides structured and secure access to employee records, leave, attendance, timesheets, performance, learning, files, and HR workflows, so your agent can create employee records, submit leave and attendance requests, manage timesheets, organize training, and handle HR processes on your behalf.
- Employee and HR record management: Have your agent create employee records, add salary details, create HR process records, and manage custom variables for your workforce.
- Leave and attendance requests: Direct your agent to submit leave, compensatory time, on-duty, hourly permission, and attendance regularization requests, or cancel selected requests when plans change.
- Time tracking and timesheets: Let the agent create time logs, clients, job schedules, and timesheets, add timer comments, and approve or reject timesheets.
- Learning and performance programs: Instruct your agent to create LMS courses, modules, batches, and sessions, add trainers, and create or assign performance competencies and KRAs.
- Files, shifts, and HR setup: Have your agent create file folders, map shifts to employees, configure leave settings, and manage attendance entries for day-to-day HR operations.

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Zoho People MCP server provides comprehensive access to Zoho People operations through Composio. Once connected, Hermes can perform all major Zoho People actions on your behalf using natural language commands.

## Complete Code

None listed.

## Conclusion

### Way Forward
With Zoho People 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 Zoho People MCP?

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

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Zoho People while using Tool Router?

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