# How to connect Baremetrics to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 8 tools) > Connect Baremetrics to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Baremetrics 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/baremetrics Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Baremetrics** — 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 baremetrics # connect Baremetrics (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions baremetrics # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run baremetrics --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 Baremetrics in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Baremetrics API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Pull the relevant data from Baremetrics, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. ### 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 Baremetrics is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 8 Baremetrics tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Baremetrics to Hermes Agent and exposes 8 Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/baremetrics) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Baremetrics integration can do 8 Baremetrics tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. ### All 8 Baremetrics tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get account** `baremetrics_get_account` | Return the connected Baremetrics account identity, company, default currency, and calculation | | **Get cohorts** `baremetrics_get_cohorts` | Return Baremetrics cohort analysis for comparing customer retention and revenue behavior across | | **Get metric breakdown** `baremetrics_get_metric_breakdown` | Return daily values for one Baremetrics metric broken down by contributing customers or plans | | **Get metric summary** `baremetrics_get_metric_summary` | Return wide daily Baremetrics business metrics for an inclusive date range, including MRR | | **Get metric trend** `baremetrics_get_metric_trend` | Return the daily time series and prior-period comparison for one Baremetrics metric over an | | **Get recurring revenue resource** `baremetrics_get_recurring_revenue_resource` | Get one customer, plan, subscription, charge, or refund by its OID within a Baremetrics source | | **List recurring revenue resources** `baremetrics_list_recurring_revenue_resources` | List one page of customers, plans, subscriptions, charges, or refunds from a Baremetrics | | **List sources** `baremetrics_list_sources` | List one page of payment and Baremetrics API sources in the connected account and return source | ## Example prompts **Get Account** > Pull the relevant data from Baremetrics, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Cohorts** > Pull the relevant data from Baremetrics, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Metric Breakdown** > Pull the relevant data from Baremetrics, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Metric Summary** > Pull the relevant data from Baremetrics, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. ## 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 Baremetrics working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Baremetrics API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics. | 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 Baremetrics actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 8 tools for Baremetrics are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics in the browser, and the 8 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics tools Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics 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. ### Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Baremetrics: link your Baremetrics account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Baremetrics API through 8 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Baremetrics key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Baremetrics to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Baremetrics in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Baremetrics 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 Baremetrics working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Baremetrics 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 - [PostHog tools](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/posthog) — Track user behavior and feature flags - [Connect DataforSEO](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/dataforseo) — SEO data APIs for keywords, SERP, and site audits - [Metabase tools](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/metabase) — Metabase is an open-source business intelligence tool that lets you ask questions about your data and visualize answers as charts, graphs, and dashboards.
