How to integrate Habitica 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 Habitica account to Hermes. You can do this through either Composio Connect CLI or Composio Connect MCP.

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 Habitica 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 Habitica

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

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

5. Done!

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

The Habitica MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Habitica account. It provides structured and secure access to your tasks, challenges, and groups, so your agent can create tasks, manage challenges, organize groups, and automate productivity routines on your behalf.

  • Automated task creation and management: Let your agent create new tasks, set up habits, or add to-dos to keep your productivity on track—no manual entry needed.
  • Challenge and group organization: Easily create, edit, or delete Habitica challenges and groups so you can coordinate goals and activities with teams or friends.
  • Tag and webhook automation: Have your agent generate new tags for smarter task sorting or set up webhooks for real-time notifications when tasks change or are completed.
  • Subscription and group membership management: Direct your agent to check or cancel subscriptions, leave parties, or delete groups as your needs change.
  • Seamless challenge task updates: Effortlessly add or remove tasks within challenges, helping you keep group goals relevant and up to date.

Way Forward

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

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