# How to connect Coda to Hermes > Connect Coda to Hermes in one click. 8 Coda tools your agent can call from chat. No API keys. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/coda ClawLink gives Hermes a more practical Coda setup than rolling your own integration. Pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Coda for you — reading and doing real work on your behalf with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself. ## Coda MCP for Hermes Looking for a Coda MCP server for Hermes Agent? ClawLink connects Coda to Hermes Agent and exposes 8 Coda 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 Coda integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/coda) works the same way. **Start here — 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. ## Setup It takes three steps to connect Hermes to Coda. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Coda** — one-click OAuth in the ClawLink dashboard. 3. **Use it from chat** — ask Hermes Agent in plain English. **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 coda # connect Coda (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions coda # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run coda --input '' # execute (add --confirm for writes) ``` ## What the Hermes Agent Coda integration can do 8 Coda tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. ### All 8 Coda tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get a column** `coda_get_a_column` | Returns detailed information about a specific column in a Coda table | | **Get content types** `coda_get_content_types` | Returns all content types in a Coda doc | | **Content export status** `coda_content_export_status` | Check the status of a page content export operation | | **Get acl settings** `coda_get_acl_settings` | Returns ACL settings for a Coda doc | | **Add a permission for pack** `coda_add_a_permission_for_pack` | Create or modify permissions for a Pack | | **Add custom domain** `coda_add_custom_domain` | Add a custom domain to a published doc | | **Archive asset** `coda_archive_asset` | Archive an asset in Coda | | **Archive entry** `coda_archive_entry` | Archive an entry in Coda | ## Example prompts **Get A Column** > Pull the relevant data from Coda, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Content Types** > Pull the relevant data from Coda, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Content Export Status** > Use Coda to content export status and walk me through the result in plain English. **Get Acl Settings** > Pull the relevant data from Coda, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. ## ClawLink vs. building it yourself The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual OAuth app 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 Coda working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Connection flow** | Register a Coda app, configure redirect URLs, manage consent details, and reconnect users when auth settings drift. | Users connect Coda through the hosted browser flow and ClawLink keeps the token lifecycle out of your app code. | | **Ongoing maintenance** | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for Coda. | 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 Coda actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 8 tools for Coda are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Coda 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 Coda in the browser, and the 8 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK, no config file, and no API key handling. 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 Coda from the dashboard, then start a fresh chat if the runtime still has the old tool catalog loaded. ### The Coda account is connected but the action fails Check whether the connected account has access to the workspace, inbox, store, or project you are trying to use. Most failures at this stage are permission mismatches, not ClawLink bugs. ### OAuth finished in the browser but the account is still missing Try reconnecting Coda and complete the consent flow in the same browser session. Partial OAuth approvals or switching accounts mid-flow can leave the connection incomplete. ### Is there a Hermes Agent Coda integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Coda: link your Coda account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Coda API through 8 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Coda 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 Coda in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files or API keys to manage. ### How long does it take to connect Coda to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Coda in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Coda up myself? The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual OAuth app 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 Coda working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Coda 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 - [ClickUp](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/clickup) — Manage tasks, docs, goals, and sprints - [Notion](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/notion) — Manage pages, databases, and blocks - [Typeform tools](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/typeform) — Create interactive forms and surveys
