How to integrate ImageRouter 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 ImageRouter 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 ImageRouter 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 ImageRouter

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

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

5. Done!

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

The ImageRouter MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your ImageRouter account. It provides structured and secure access to ImageRouter's generative models, model details, and account credits, so your agent can generate images, edit images, create videos, produce text, and review usage on your behalf.

  • Image generation: Have your agent turn a detailed text prompt into an image using a selected ImageRouter model.
  • Image editing: Direct your agent to transform or inpaint one or more existing images provided as web links or embedded image data.
  • Video creation: Let the agent generate videos from written prompts, with optional images supplied as visual inputs.
  • Text and multimodal responses: Instruct your agent to create text completions or responses based on plain text and structured multimodal input.
  • Model and credit checks: Have your agent discover available models, review their capabilities, supported options, and pricing, then check remaining credits and usage before starting paid work.

Way Forward

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

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