# How to connect ConfigCat to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 10 tools) > Connect ConfigCat to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your ConfigCat key once and 10 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/configcat Most guides for giving Hermes Agent ConfigCat 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 ConfigCat setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on ConfigCat 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 ConfigCat. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect ConfigCat** — 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 configcat # connect ConfigCat (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions configcat # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run configcat --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 ConfigCat in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your ConfigCat API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Pull the relevant data from ConfigCat, 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 ConfigCat is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 10 ConfigCat tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects ConfigCat to Hermes Agent and exposes 10 ConfigCat 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 ConfigCat integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/configcat) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent ConfigCat integration can do 10 ConfigCat tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. The 9 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 10. ### 9 of 10 ConfigCat tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get product context** `configcat_get_product_context` | Return a ConfigCat Product's configs, environments, segments, and tags, including the | | **Get setting value v2** `configcat_get_setting_value_v2` | Get one Config V2 flag or setting's complete evaluation formula in an Environment, including | | **List account hierarchy** `configcat_list_account_hierarchy` | List accessible ConfigCat organizations and products so an agent can resolve the IDs needed by | | **List environment values v2** `configcat_list_environment_values_v2` | Return every Config V2 feature flag and setting evaluation formula for one Config and | | **List settings** `configcat_list_settings` | List feature flags and settings in one Config, including IDs, keys, types, tags, and metadata | | **Create setting** `configcat_create_setting` | Create a feature flag or typed setting in a Config | | **Patch setting value v2** `configcat_patch_setting_value_v2` | Update selected typed fields of one Config V2 evaluation formula while preserving every field | | **Replace setting value v2** `configcat_replace_setting_value_v2` | Completely replace one Config V2 flag or setting evaluation formula in an Environment | | **Update setting metadata** `configcat_update_setting_metadata` | Partially update a flag or setting's name, hint, or complete tag assignment without resetting | ## Example prompts **Get Product Context** > Pull the relevant data from ConfigCat, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Setting Value V2** > Pull the relevant data from ConfigCat, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **List Account Hierarchy** > List the relevant items in ConfigCat, group them by priority, and recommend what Hermes should do next. **List Environment Values V2** > List the relevant items in ConfigCat, 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 ConfigCat working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the ConfigCat API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected ConfigCat 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 ConfigCat. | 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 ConfigCat actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 10 tools for ConfigCat are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes ConfigCat 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 ConfigCat in the browser, and the 10 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the ConfigCat 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 ConfigCat 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 ConfigCat tools ConfigCat 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 ConfigCat 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. ### ConfigCat 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 ConfigCat 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 ConfigCat integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to ConfigCat: link your ConfigCat account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the ConfigCat API through 10 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect ConfigCat 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 ConfigCat in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the ConfigCat key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect ConfigCat to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to ConfigCat in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring ConfigCat 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 ConfigCat working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use ConfigCat 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.
