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 Keyword 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 Keyword

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

4. Done. You're all set with a new Keyword 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.

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 Keyword or request any Keyword-related task. It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

5. Done!

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

The Keyword MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Keyword account. It provides structured and secure access to your SEO projects, keywords, rankings, and performance data, so your agent can monitor search rankings, analyze keyword movement, review top pages, track share of voice, and manage keyword settings on your behalf.

  • Keyword ranking analysis: Have your agent retrieve tracked keywords, review their current ranking metrics, and examine up to 180 days of Google ranking history.
  • Project performance monitoring: Let the agent summarize active projects, inspect project details, and analyze keyword movement across projects, groups, or tags.
  • Share of voice and page insights: Direct your agent to track share of voice over time and identify top ranking pages by keyword count, average rank, search volume, and cost per click.
  • Alerts and regional tracking: Instruct your agent to review account alerts and list the Google regions tracked for each project.
  • Keyword and project management: Have your agent update keyword settings, refresh rankings on demand, or delete keywords and projects you no longer need.

Way Forward

With Keyword 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

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 Keyword tools.
