How to integrate Griptape 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 Griptape 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 Griptape 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 Griptape

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

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

5. Done!

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

The Griptape MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Griptape account. It provides structured and secure access to your Griptape platform, so your agent can create assistants, launch and monitor AI runs, retrieve logs, and analyze results automatically on your behalf.

  • Automated assistant creation and management: Easily direct your agent to create new assistants or list existing ones, making it simple to manage your AI resources in Griptape Cloud.
  • Launching and controlling assistant runs: Let your agent start new assistant runs, cancel ongoing executions, or fetch the status of any run for streamlined AI workflow management.
  • Real-time monitoring of assistant activities: Have your agent stream live run events, monitor progress, or retrieve detailed logs to keep tabs on every step of your generative AI processes.
  • Error handling and diagnostics: Ask your agent to fetch detailed error reports for failed runs, helping you troubleshoot and resolve issues quickly and efficiently.
  • Result retrieval and historical analysis: Automatically pull final outputs from completed runs and review historical execution data, empowering you to analyze and improve your generative AI pipelines over time.

Way Forward

With Griptape 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

Frequently asked questions

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

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