How to integrate Eden AI MCP with Hermes

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 Eden AI 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 Eden AI 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 Eden AI

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

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

5. Done!

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

The Eden AI MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Eden AI account. It provides structured and secure access to your AI models, generated responses, safety checks, model catalog, and usage data, so your agent can generate text, create embeddings, moderate content, discover model capabilities, and track costs on your behalf.

  • Text generation and response retrieval: Have your agent generate text with supported models, continue saved responses, and retrieve earlier results for follow-up work.
  • Embeddings for search and analysis: Direct your agent to turn individual texts or batches into embeddings for semantic search, clustering, and similarity tasks.
  • Content safety checks: Let the agent moderate one or more texts, identify flagged safety categories, and review confidence scores before using the content.
  • Model and capability discovery: Instruct your agent to find available models and compare supported features, providers, pricing, and regions before choosing one.
  • Usage planning and cost tracking: Have your agent count tokens before generating content, check account credits, and review consumption by provider or feature over a selected period.

Way Forward

With Eden AI 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.

TOOLS

Supported Tools

Every Eden AI action and event your agent gets out of the box.

Count Anthropic Tokens

Count input tokens for an Anthropic-format message request before generation, including system content and tool definitions.

Create Anthropic Message

Generate a non-streaming Anthropic-compatible message with content blocks, stop reason, token usage, provider metadata, and Eden AI cost.

Create Chat Completion

Generate a non-streaming OpenAI-compatible chat completion with a current Eden AI model and return its choices, token usage, provider, and cost.

Create Embeddings

Create embeddings for one text or a batch of texts and return vectors with model, usage, provider, and cost metadata.

Create Response

Create or continue a synchronous OpenAI Responses-compatible text response, stored by default for later retrieval, and return its ID, structured output, text, usage, provider, and cost.

Discover AI Capabilities

Find current Eden AI models or inspect Universal AI feature schemas, providers, pricing, and regions before an execution call.

Get Cost Overview

Return current account credits and, when a date range is supplied, aggregated consumption filtered by provider or subfeature.

Get Response

Retrieve a previously stored Responses API object by ID, including its status, text output, structured output, usage, and canonical model.

Moderate Text

Classify one text or a batch of texts for safety categories and return flags, category scores, applied input types, provider, and cost.

Run Universal AI

Run one synchronous Eden AI Universal AI feature using a current model and feature-specific input.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Eden AI MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Eden AI tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Eden AI and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

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 Eden AI tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Eden AI 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.

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 Eden AI data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
