How to integrate Plausible Analytics 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 Plausible Analytics 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 Plausible Analytics 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 Plausible Analytics

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

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

5. Done!

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

The Plausible Analytics MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Plausible Analytics account. It provides structured and secure access to your website analytics, so your agent can monitor live visitors, analyze traffic trends, compare audience segments, review site settings, and record events on your behalf.

  • Live visitor monitoring: Have your agent check how many people visited your site during the last five minutes.
  • Traffic and trend analysis: Instruct your agent to query site statistics and retrieve visitor trends for a chosen time period.
  • Audience breakdowns: Let the agent break down your analytics by a selected dimension so you can compare traffic segments.
  • Site, goal, and access reviews: Direct your agent to list accessible sites, teams, goals, custom properties, and guests with dashboard access.
  • Pageview and custom event recording: Have your agent record pageviews or custom events in Plausible Analytics.

Way Forward

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

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