Hermes setup

Connect Hermes to ClawLink, approve pairing, and start using hosted integrations

ClawLink works with Hermes through the ClawLink plugin. Install the plugin, approve the device in your browser, then connect the apps you want from the dashboard.

Install

Add the ClawLink plugin to Hermes.

Pair

hermes clawlink begin prints a link.

Approve

Open the link, approve, then run finish and test.

Connect apps

Add apps in Dashboard > Connections and use them in chat.

Install the plugin

hermes plugins install ClawLink-HQ/hermes-plugin --enable

Start pairing

hermes clawlink begin

This prints a browser approval link.

Approve in your browser

Open the link and approve the device.

Finish setup

hermes clawlink finish
hermes clawlink test

test confirms that ClawLink is ready.

Connect your first app

In Dashboard > Connections, click Add connection and complete the hosted flow for the app you want Hermes to use.

Ask Hermes to use the connected app

When the connection is ready, Hermes can call the app's tools directly from chat.

You can also give the whole flow to Hermes as one prompt. Dashboard > Install has a version you can copy. Not using Hermes? See Install ClawLink for the CLI and the OpenClaw plugin.

Good first tasks

  • “Draft a reply to the last email from Sarah and send it”
  • “Add a 30-minute call with the design team tomorrow at 10:00”
  • “Search my Notion workspace for the Q3 roadmap page”
  • “Create an issue in my main repo for the failing login test”
  • “Pull the latest deals from HubSpot and summarize them”

Notes

  • If you just installed the plugin and Hermes cannot see the ClawLink tools, restart the session and try again.
  • Browser pairing is the recommended flow. You do not need to move provider credentials through chat.
  • Your connected apps belong to your ClawLink account, so every agent you pair can use them.

The install prompt in Dashboard > Install is the source of truth for the exact Hermes steps, because it changes together with the product.
