How to integrate Retently 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 Retently 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 Retently 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 Retently

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

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

5. Done!

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

The Retently MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Retently account. It provides structured and secure access to your customer feedback and survey data, so your agent can perform actions like analyzing feedback, managing customers, organizing survey results, and tagging feedback—completely on your behalf.

  • Automated customer management: Effortlessly create, update, or delete customers in your Retently workspace, ensuring your CRM data stays up to date.
  • Feedback analysis and retrieval: Retrieve recent feedback, pull detailed feedback entries, or get a list of all customer responses for easy sentiment tracking and reporting.
  • Survey and campaign insights: Instantly fetch all your Retently campaigns or get the latest NPS score to stay on top of your customer satisfaction metrics.
  • Feedback organization with tags and topics: Let your agent categorize and organize feedback by adding tags or topics, so you can quickly identify trends and areas for improvement.
  • Advanced customer lookup: Quickly get detailed information about any customer by their unique ID, perfect for personalizing follow-ups or resolving support issues.

Way Forward

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

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