How to integrate Toggl Track 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 Toggl Track 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 Toggl Track 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 Toggl Track

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

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

5. Done!

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

The Toggl Track MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Toggl Track account. It provides structured and secure access to your time entries, workspaces, projects, clients, tasks, and reports, so your agent can track work, manage timers, organize projects, update records, and produce time reports on your behalf.

  • Time entry management: Have your agent create, review, update, or delete time entries, including their descriptions, timing, billable status, tags, and work assignments.
  • Running timer control: Let the agent check your current timer, start a new running time entry, or stop work in progress.
  • Workspace and project organization: Direct your agent to list workspaces and manage projects, clients, and tasks used to organize tracked work.
  • Detailed time reporting: Instruct your agent to produce detailed time reports for a workspace and date range, grouped into useful report rows.
  • Bulk record updates: Have your agent apply the same description or billable status to multiple time entries at once.

Way Forward

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

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