# How to connect Artificial Analysis to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 12 tools) > Connect Artificial Analysis to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Artificial Analysis key once and 12 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/artificial-analysis Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Artificial Analysis 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 Artificial Analysis setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Artificial Analysis 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 Artificial Analysis. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Artificial Analysis** — 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 artificial-analysis # connect Artificial Analysis (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions artificial-analysis # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run artificial-analysis --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 Artificial Analysis in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Artificial Analysis API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > List the relevant items in Artificial Analysis, group them by priority, and recommend what Hermes should do next. ### 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 Artificial Analysis is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 12 Artificial Analysis tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Artificial Analysis to Hermes Agent and exposes 12 Artificial Analysis 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 Artificial Analysis integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/artificial-analysis) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Artificial Analysis integration can do 12 Artificial Analysis tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. ### All 12 Artificial Analysis tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **List image editing models** `artificial_analysis_list_image_editing_models` | List image-editing models ranked by the Artificial Analysis arena, with Elo score and 95% | | **List image to video audio models** `artificial_analysis_list_image_to_video_audio_models` | List image-to-video-with-audio models ranked by the Artificial Analysis arena, with Elo score | | **List image to video models** `artificial_analysis_list_image_to_video_models` | List image-to-video models ranked by the Artificial Analysis image-to-video arena, with Elo | | **List language models** `artificial_analysis_list_language_models` | List LLMs from the Artificial Analysis leaderboard with intelligence, coding and agentic | | **List music instrumental models** `artificial_analysis_list_music_instrumental_models` | List instrumental music-generation models ranked by the Artificial Analysis arena, with Elo | | **List music with vocals models** `artificial_analysis_list_music_with_vocals_models` | List music-with-vocals generation models ranked by the Artificial Analysis arena, with Elo | | **List speech to speech models** `artificial_analysis_list_speech_to_speech_models` | List speech-to-speech models with Big Bench Audio (bba_score), Full Duplex Bench (fdb_score) | | **List speech to text models** `artificial_analysis_list_speech_to_text_models` | List speech-to-text (transcription) models with the Artificial Analysis overall word-error-rate | | **List text to image models** `artificial_analysis_list_text_to_image_models` | List text-to-image models ranked by the Artificial Analysis image arena, with Elo score and 95% | | **List text to speech models** `artificial_analysis_list_text_to_speech_models` | List text-to-speech (TTS) models ranked by the Artificial Analysis arena, with Elo score and | | **List text to video audio models** `artificial_analysis_list_text_to_video_audio_models` | List text-to-video-with-audio models ranked by the Artificial Analysis arena, with Elo score | | **List text to video models** `artificial_analysis_list_text_to_video_models` | List text-to-video models ranked by the Artificial Analysis arena, with Elo score and 95% | ## Example prompts **List Image Editing Models** > List the relevant items in Artificial Analysis, group them by priority, and recommend what Hermes should do next. **List Image To Video Audio Models** > List the relevant items in Artificial Analysis, group them by priority, and recommend what Hermes should do next. **List Image To Video Models** > List the relevant items in Artificial Analysis, group them by priority, and recommend what Hermes should do next. **List Language Models** > List the relevant items in Artificial Analysis, group them by priority, and recommend what Hermes should do next. ## 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 Artificial Analysis working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Artificial Analysis API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Artificial Analysis 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 Artificial Analysis. | 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 Artificial Analysis actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 12 tools for Artificial Analysis are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Artificial Analysis 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 Artificial Analysis in the browser, and the 12 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Artificial Analysis 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 Artificial Analysis 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 Artificial Analysis tools Artificial Analysis 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 Artificial Analysis 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. ### Artificial Analysis 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 Artificial Analysis 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 Artificial Analysis integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Artificial Analysis: link your Artificial Analysis account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Artificial Analysis API through 12 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Artificial Analysis 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 Artificial Analysis in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Artificial Analysis key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Artificial Analysis to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Artificial Analysis in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Artificial Analysis 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 Artificial Analysis working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Artificial Analysis 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 - [Hermes DataRobot integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/datarobot) — DataRobot is a machine learning platform that automates model building, deployment, and monitoring, enabling organizations to derive predictive insights from large datasets. - [Connect Chatbotkit](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/chatbotkit) — ChatBotKit is a platform that enables developers to build and manage AI-powered chatbots, offering comprehensive APIs and SDKs for seamless integration into applications. - [Hermes Just One API integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/just-one-api) — Just One API provides unified access to public social media, creator, entertainment, and ecommerce data across hundreds of metered endpoints.
