Overview
Use a consistent connection procedure:
- Identify the exact action Hermes must perform, such as reading a calendar, drafting email,
editing a document, or publishing a post.
- Select the available MCP, CLI, or API that exposes that action.
- Connect the account in the provider's interface.
- Ask Hermes to install or configure the connector and complete the authorization flow.
- Confirm the connector appears in Hermes settings.
- Run a read test using known information.
- Only after the read test succeeds, test a small controlled write.
For Composio, connect the required applications first, then ask Hermes to set up the Composio MCP through the authorization link. Verify with a calendar query.
For the Google Workspace CLI, give Hermes the installation location, ask it to install the CLI, follow the authentication steps, and test access to the relevant Google service.
Keep connectors aligned with profiles. The personal profile should use personal accounts. A client profile should use only the client's approved accounts. A specialist agent should not inherit unrelated credentials.
