# How to connect Acculynx to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 8 tools) > Connect Acculynx to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Acculynx key once and 8 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/acculynx Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Acculynx access start with registering your own OAuth app or pasting API keys into env files, then leave the token refresh and tool wiring to you. ClawLink gives Hermes a more practical Acculynx setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Acculynx for you, reading and doing real work on your behalf with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself. ## Setup It takes three steps to connect Hermes to Acculynx. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Acculynx** — one-click OAuth in the ClawLink dashboard. 3. **Use it from chat** — ask Hermes Agent in plain English. **Paste this into Hermes to set up ClawLink:** > Set up ClawLink for Hermes and tell me when it's ready. > 1. Install the plugin: `hermes plugins install ClawLink-HQ/hermes-plugin --enable` > 2. Start pairing with `hermes clawlink begin`. It prints an approval link, so show me the link and stop, don't wait. > 3. I'll approve it in my browser, then reply "approved". > 4. When I say approved, finish setup: `hermes clawlink finish` > 5. Then run `hermes clawlink test` and tell me whether ClawLink is ready. **Alternative for any agent (no plugin needed):** if the Hermes Agent plugin route isn't available or doesn't work, any AI agent with shell access can use the ClawLink CLI instead: ```bash npx -y @useclawlink/cli login # sign in via browser — no API key to paste npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect acculynx # connect Acculynx (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions acculynx # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run acculynx --input '' # execute (add --confirm for writes) ``` ### Install by command The prompt above walks Hermes through this. By hand, it is four commands and a browser approval: ```bash hermes plugins install ClawLink-HQ/hermes-plugin --enable hermes clawlink begin # prints an approval link — open it and approve hermes clawlink finish # after approving in the browser hermes clawlink test ``` Then connect Acculynx in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Acculynx API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Use Acculynx to job appointment summary and walk me through the result in plain English. ### Using a different agent? The Hermes plugin is one client of ClawLink's MCP server. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any agent that can run a shell command pairs with the same ClawLink account through the CLI: ```bash npx -y @useclawlink/cli login ``` `login` opens the same browser approval and stores a credential locally. Once Acculynx is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 8 Acculynx tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Acculynx to Hermes Agent and exposes 8 Acculynx tools your agent can call over [MCP](https://claw-link.dev/learn/what-is-an-mcp-server), with [hosted auth](https://claw-link.dev/learn/oauth-for-ai-agents) and nothing to run or maintain yourself. Using OpenClaw instead? The [OpenClaw Acculynx integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/acculynx) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Acculynx integration can do 8 Acculynx tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. ### All 8 Acculynx tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Job appointment summary** `acculynx_job_appointment_summary` | Retrieves a list of appointments from the calendar associated with a specific job in AccuLynx | | **List of calendars for the location** `acculynx_list_of_calendars_for_the_location` | Retrieves a list of calendars associated with the authenticated user or organization in AccuLynx | | **List of contact types related to the company** `acculynx_list_of_contact_types_related_to_the_company` | Retrieves a list of all available contact types in the AccuLynx system | | **Add job appointment** `acculynx_add_job_appointment` | This endpoint allows users to schedule the initial appointment for a specific job in the | | **Create a contact** `acculynx_create_a_contact` | Creates a new contact in the AccuLynx system with detailed information for use in roofing and | | **Create a job** `acculynx_create_a_job` | Creates a new job in the AccuLynx system with the provided details | | **Create a lead** `acculynx_create_a_lead` | This endpoint creates a new lead in the AccuLynx system, specifically for residential roofing | | **Update company representative** `acculynx_update_company_representative` | This endpoint allows you to add a company representative to a specific job within the AccuLynx | ## Example prompts **Job Appointment Summary** > Use Acculynx to job appointment summary and walk me through the result in plain English. **List Of Calendars For The Location** > List the relevant items in Acculynx, group them by priority, and recommend what Hermes should do next. **List Of Contact Types Related To The Company** > List the relevant items in Acculynx, group them by priority, and recommend what Hermes should do next. **Add Job Appointment** > Use Acculynx to add job appointment and walk me through the result in plain English. ## ClawLink vs. building it yourself The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual API key setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for Hermes Agent. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Acculynx working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Acculynx API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Acculynx account becomes available to the agent without you building credential management. | | **Ongoing maintenance** | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for Acculynx. | ClawLink handles the repetitive integration plumbing so your team can focus on the workflow instead of the infrastructure. | | **Agent usability** | You still need to expose the right Acculynx actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 8 tools for Acculynx are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Acculynx to AI agents. It is developer infrastructure: Python and TypeScript SDKs, an MCP server, and a catalog past 1,000 apps, aimed at teams shipping agent products. ClawLink is built for Hermes Agent users instead. You install the plugin once, connect Acculynx in the browser, and the 8 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Acculynx key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them? Read the full [Composio alternatives](https://claw-link.dev/hub/composio-alternatives) comparison. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Acculynx Pairing is a two-step handshake: run `hermes clawlink begin`, approve the link in your browser, then run `hermes clawlink finish`. If you ran finish before approving, or the approval link expired, run `hermes clawlink begin` again to get a fresh link. Confirm the plugin was installed with `--enable`, then verify with `hermes clawlink test`. ### Connection succeeds but no tools appear Reconnect Acculynx from the dashboard, then start a fresh chat if the runtime still has the old tool catalog loaded. ### "Tool schema not loaded yet" error when calling Acculynx tools Acculynx tool schemas load on demand the first time a tool runs and are cached after that, so this error usually clears on its own: wait a few seconds and retry the same request. If every Acculynx call keeps failing with it in a fresh chat, reconnect from the dashboard, and contact support if it still persists — that pattern points to a configuration problem on our side, not something you can fix by reconnecting again. ### Acculynx returns 403 or "permission denied" on one action while others work Two usual causes. The connected account may not have access to the specific workspace, inbox, store, or project in the request — check that first. If access looks right, the agent may have sent a placeholder value (like "YOUR_ID" or an example id from documentation) instead of a real one: ask it to run a list or search tool first, then retry the action with a real id from those results. Most failures at this stage are one of these two, not ClawLink bugs. ### API key setup works but results look incomplete Double-check that the API key for Acculynx has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes. ### Is there a Hermes Agent Acculynx integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Acculynx: link your Acculynx account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Acculynx API through 8 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Acculynx to Hermes with ClawLink? Install the plugin with `hermes plugins install ClawLink-HQ/hermes-plugin --enable`, then pair once: run `hermes clawlink begin`, approve the link in your browser, and run `hermes clawlink finish`. Connect Acculynx in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Acculynx key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Acculynx to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Acculynx in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Acculynx up myself? The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual API key setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for Hermes Agent. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Acculynx working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Acculynx Pairing is a two-step handshake: run `hermes clawlink begin`, approve the link in your browser, then run `hermes clawlink finish`. If you ran finish before approving, or the approval link expired, run `hermes clawlink begin` again to get a fresh link. Confirm the plugin was installed with `--enable`, then verify with `hermes clawlink test`. ## Related - [HubSpot](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/hubspot) — Manage contacts, deals, and pipelines - [Hermes CentralStationCRM integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/centralstationcrm) — CentralStationCRM is an easy-to-use CRM software focusing on collaboration and long-term customer relationships. - [Salesforce](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/salesforce) — Manage CRM data and workflows
