How to integrate Nutrient Document Web Services API 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 Nutrient Document Web Services API 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.

This guide explains the easiest and most robust way to connect your Nutrient Document Web Services API 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 Nutrient Document Web Services API 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 Nutrient Document Web Services API

Ask your agent to connect to Nutrient Document Web Services API, or simply request any Nutrient Document Web Services API-related task. Hermes will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

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

5. Done!

What is the Nutrient Document Web Services API MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Nutrient Document Web Services API MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Nutrient Document Web Services API account. It provides structured and secure access to document processing and account usage, so your agent can create and convert documents, OCR and improve PDFs, stage redactions, add watermarks, and check costs and usage on your behalf.

  • Document creation and conversion: Have your agent build documents from remote files, HTML, and new pages, or convert Markdown and public web pages into PDFs.
  • Searchable and accessible PDFs: Let the agent apply OCR to scanned PDFs or add screen-reader tags for PDF/UA accessibility.
  • Redaction review: Direct your agent to find matching content in a remote PDF and prepare a review copy with unapplied redaction marks.
  • PDF watermarking: Instruct your agent to add positioned text or image watermarks to every page of a PDF.
  • Cost and usage checks: Have your agent estimate a document job's required credits before processing, then review subscription status, remaining credits, and Processor usage.

Way Forward

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

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Nutrient Document Web Services API 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 Nutrient Document Web Services API data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
