How to integrate Hashnode 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 Hashnode 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.

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.

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 Hashnode 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 Hashnode

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

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

5. Done!

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

The Hashnode MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Hashnode account. It provides structured and secure access to your blog and developer publication data, so your agent can fetch articles, manage publication invites, reply to comments, and explore tags or user details on your behalf.

  • Fetch and analyze articles: Let your agent retrieve single articles or lists of posts from your publications, making it easy to summarize, review, or manage your content.
  • Publication invite handling: Effortlessly accept publication invitations or view all your pending invites, streamlining the process of joining new developer teams or publications.
  • Interact with comments and replies: Have your agent add replies to existing comments, enabling automated engagement and conversation management on your posts.
  • Tag discovery and trend tracking: Easily fetch popular tags so your agent can suggest relevant topics, optimize your writing focus, or help you follow industry trends.
  • User and publication insights: Retrieve detailed profile information for any user or publication, giving your agent the context needed for personalized recommendations and content actions.

Way Forward

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

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