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 Zyte api 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 Zyte api 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 Zyte api

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

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

5. Done!

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

The Zyte api MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Zyte api account. It provides structured and secure access to Zyte's web scraping and status monitoring tools, so your agent can perform actions like checking service health, monitoring incidents, reviewing maintenance schedules, and analyzing component statuses on your behalf.

  • Real-time service health summaries: Instantly request a high-level overview of Zyte API status, including component health, unresolved incidents, and active maintenances.
  • Incident monitoring and retrieval: Let your agent fetch unresolved incidents or review recent status incidents to stay on top of service disruptions and outages.
  • Maintenance schedule tracking: Ask your agent to list upcoming or currently active scheduled maintenances, so you never miss important downtime windows.
  • Component health insights: Have the agent retrieve detailed statuses for individual Zyte API components, helping you quickly diagnose potential issues in your pipeline.
  • Automated status rollups and alerts: Get consolidated summaries of the overall Zyte API health or trigger alerts when new incidents or maintenances are detected.

Supported Tools & Triggers

Tools
Fetch Active Scheduled MaintenancesTool to fetch currently active scheduled maintenances.
Get scheduled maintenancesTool to get the 50 most recent scheduled maintenances (upcoming and completed) from zyte status api.

Upcoming Scheduled MaintenancesTool to retrieve upcoming scheduled maintenance windows.
Zyte API ComponentsTool to fetch the list of zyte api service components and their statuses.
Get Zyte API Status RollupTool to retrieve the overall status rollup for the zyte api.

Way Forward

With Zyte api 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 Zyte api MCP?

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

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

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