How to integrate Alttext ai 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 Alttext ai 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 Alttext ai 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 Alttext ai

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

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

5. Done!

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

The Alttext ai MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Alttext ai account. It provides structured and secure access to your image library and account, so your agent can retrieve images, generate and search alt text, update account settings, and manage your Alttext.ai workflow on your behalf.

  • Automated image library browsing: Instantly fetch and paginate through your stored images, complete with their alt text and metadata, to keep track of your visual assets.
  • Keyword-based image searches: Direct your agent to search your image collection and find specific images or alt text based on custom search terms or filters.
  • Account monitoring and insights: Check your Alttext.ai account configuration, review current usage limits, and monitor your plan details or webhook settings—no manual dashboard visits needed.
  • Account configuration management: Let your agent update your account details, such as webhook URLs or display names, to streamline your integration and notification setup.

Way Forward

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

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