# How to connect Ambee to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 27 tools) > Connect Ambee to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Ambee key once and 27 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/ambee Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Ambee 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 Ambee setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Ambee 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 Ambee. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Ambee** — 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 ambee # connect Ambee (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions ambee # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run ambee --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 Ambee in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Ambee API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Use Ambee to geocode by place 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 Ambee is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 27 Ambee tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Ambee to Hermes Agent and exposes 27 Ambee 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 Ambee integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/ambee) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Ambee integration can do 27 Ambee tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. ### All 27 Ambee tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Geocode by place** `ambee_geocode_by_place` | Transform a place name or address into geographic coordinates | | **Get air quality by city** `ambee_get_air_quality_by_city` | Retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific city | | **Get air quality by country code** `ambee_get_air_quality_by_country_code` | Retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific country using a 3-letter ISO code | | **Get air quality by lat lng** `ambee_get_air_quality_by_lat_lng` | Retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific latitude and longitude | | **Get air quality by postal code** `ambee_get_air_quality_by_postal_code` | Retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific postal code and country | | **Get air quality forecast by lat lng** `ambee_get_air_quality_forecast_by_lat_lng` | Retrieve air quality forecast for a specific latitude and longitude | | **Get air quality history by lat lng** `ambee_get_air_quality_history_by_lat_lng` | Retrieve historical air quality data for a specific latitude and longitude | | **Get disasters by continent latest** `ambee_get_disasters_by_continent_latest` | Retrieve latest natural disaster data for a specific continent | | **Get disasters history** `ambee_get_disasters_history` | Retrieve global historical natural disaster data with date range filtering | | **Get disasters history by country code** `ambee_get_disasters_history_by_country_code` | Retrieve historical natural disaster data for a country by ISO country code | | **Get disasters history by lat lng** `ambee_get_disasters_history_by_lat_lng` | Retrieve historical natural disaster data for a specific location by coordinates with date range | | **Get disasters latest by country code** `ambee_get_disasters_latest_by_country_code` | Retrieve latest natural disaster data for a specific country using ISO country code | | **Get disasters latest by lat lng** `ambee_get_disasters_latest_by_lat_lng` | Retrieve latest natural disaster data (earthquakes, floods, droughts, volcanic eruptions) for a | | **Get elevation by lat lng** `ambee_get_elevation_by_lat_lng` | Retrieve elevation statistics (min, max, mean) for a specific latitude and longitude | | **Get elevation by place** `ambee_get_elevation_by_place` | Retrieve elevation statistics (minimum, maximum, and mean) for a location by place name | | **Get fire risk by lat lng** `ambee_get_fire_risk_by_lat_lng` | Retrieve fire risk forecast and Fire Weather Index (FWI) data for specific geographic | | **Get ili forecast by lat lng** `ambee_get_ili_forecast_by_lat_lng` | Retrieve up to 28-day forecast of Influenza-like Illness (ILI) risk using latitude and longitude | | **Get pollen forecast by place** `ambee_get_pollen_forecast_by_place` | Retrieve 48-hour pollen forecast for a specific location by place name | | **Get pollen history by place** `ambee_get_pollen_history_by_place` | Retrieve historical pollen data for a specific place name | | **Get pollen latest by lat lng** `ambee_get_pollen_latest_by_lat_lng` | Retrieve latest pollen data for a specific geographic location using latitude and longitude | | **Get pollen latest by place** `ambee_get_pollen_latest_by_place` | Retrieve latest pollen data for a specific place by name | | **Get weather forecast by lat lng** `ambee_get_weather_forecast_by_lat_lng` | Retrieve weather forecast for a specific latitude and longitude (up to 72 hours) | | **Get weather latest by lat lng** `ambee_get_weather_latest_by_lat_lng` | Retrieve current weather data for a specific latitude and longitude, including temperature | | **Get wildfire by lat lng** `ambee_get_wildfire_by_lat_lng` | Retrieves real-time wildfire data for a specific geographic location using latitude and | | **Get wildfire by place** `ambee_get_wildfire_by_place` | Retrieves real-time wildfire data for a specific location by place name | | **Get wildfire risk forecast by place** `ambee_get_wildfire_risk_forecast_by_place` | Retrieve wildfire risk forecast for a specific place | | **Reverse geocode by lat lng** `ambee_reverse_geocode_by_lat_lng` | Convert geographic coordinates into human-readable location data (address, place name, postal | ##

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 Ambee working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Ambee API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Ambee 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 Ambee. | 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 Ambee actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 27 tools for Ambee are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Ambee 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 Ambee in the browser, and the 27 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Ambee key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

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 Ambee 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 Ambee tools Ambee 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 Ambee 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. ### Ambee 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 Ambee 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 Ambee integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Ambee: link your Ambee account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Ambee API through 27 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Ambee 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 Ambee in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Ambee key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Ambee to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Ambee in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Ambee 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 Ambee working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Ambee 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.
