# How to connect Contentful to Hermes > Connect Contentful to Hermes in one click. 8 Contentful tools your agent can call from chat. No API keys. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/contentful ClawLink gives Hermes a more practical Contentful setup than rolling your own integration. Pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Contentful for you — reading and doing real work on your behalf with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself. ## Contentful MCP for Hermes Looking for a Contentful MCP server for Hermes Agent? ClawLink connects Contentful to Hermes Agent and exposes 8 Contentful 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 Contentful integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/contentful) 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 Contentful. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Contentful** — 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 contentful # connect Contentful (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions contentful # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run contentful --input '' # execute (add --confirm for writes) ``` ## What the Hermes Agent Contentful integration can do 8 Contentful tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. ### All 8 Contentful tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get content types** `contentful_get_content_types` | Retrieve all content types in an environment | | **Get asset** `contentful_get_asset` | Retrieve a single asset by ID | | **Get app definition** `contentful_get_app_definition` | Retrieve details of a specific app definition | | **Activate content type** `contentful_activate_content_type` | Activate (publish) a content type | | **Archive asset** `contentful_archive_asset` | Archive an asset | | **Archive entry** `contentful_archive_entry` | Archive an entry | | **Archive release** `contentful_archive_release` | Archive a release | | **Get editor interface** `contentful_get_editor_interface` | Retrieve editor interface configuration | ## Example prompts **Get Content Types** > Pull the relevant data from Contentful, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Asset** > Pull the relevant data from Contentful, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get App Definition** > Pull the relevant data from Contentful, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Activate Content Type** > Use Contentful to activate content type and walk me through the result in plain English. ## 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 Contentful working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Connection flow** | Register a Contentful app, configure redirect URLs, manage consent details, and reconnect users when auth settings drift. | Users connect Contentful 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 Contentful. | 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 Contentful actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 8 tools for Contentful are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Contentful 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 Contentful 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 Contentful from the dashboard, then start a fresh chat if the runtime still has the old tool catalog loaded. ### The Contentful 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 Contentful 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 Contentful integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Contentful: link your Contentful account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Contentful API through 8 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Contentful 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 Contentful 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 Contentful to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Contentful in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Contentful 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 Contentful working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Contentful 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 - [Apify tools](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/apify) — Run web scrapers, manage Actors, datasets, and schedules - [Hostinger tools](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/hostinger) — Manage domains, DNS, VPS, and web hosting - [Hermes Vercel integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/vercel) — Manage projects, deployments, domains, and environment variables
