How to integrate ITM Platform 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 ITM Platform 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 ITM Platform 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 ITM Platform

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

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

5. Done!

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

The ITM Platform MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your ITM Platform account. It provides structured and secure access to your projects, tasks, reference data, and DataMart analytics, so your agent can create projects and tasks, find and review work, update records, and analyze portfolio data on your behalf.

  • Project creation and planning: Have your agent create projects with schedules and the classifications used by your organization.
  • Task creation and updates: Let the agent create project tasks and update their descriptions, schedules, hierarchy, custom fields, and other supported details.
  • Project tracking and updates: Direct your agent to find projects, review their current details, and update selected project information.
  • Work search and reference data: Instruct your agent to search tasks across accessible projects and check your account's valid project or task statuses, priorities, and types.
  • Portfolio and service analytics: Have your agent search and aggregate read-only DataMart records to analyze project and service performance.

Way Forward

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

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