# How to connect Demio to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 6 tools)

> Connect Demio to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Demio key once and 6 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine.

Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/demio

Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Demio 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 Demio setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Demio 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 Demio.

1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once.
2. **Connect Demio** — 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 demio  # connect Demio (browser OAuth)
npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions demio  # list available actions
npx -y @useclawlink/cli run demio <action> --input '<json>'  # 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 Demio in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Demio API key once.

Verify the connection by asking Hermes:

> Pull the relevant data from Demio, 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 Demio is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 6 Demio tools over MCP.

## Demio MCP for Hermes

Looking for a Demio MCP server for Hermes Agent? ClawLink connects Demio to Hermes Agent and exposes 6 Demio 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 Demio integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/demio) works the same way.

## What the Hermes Agent Demio integration can do

6 Demio tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected.

### All 6 Demio tools for Hermes

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Get event** `demio_get_event` | Retrieve event details by ID |
| **List event date participants** `demio_list_event_date_participants` | List participants for a specific event date |
| **List event dates** `demio_list_event_dates` | List all scheduled session dates for a given Demio event |
| **List events** `demio_list_events` | Retrieve a list of Demio events |
| **Ping** `demio_ping` | Perform a health check on the Demio API |
| **Create join link** `demio_create_join_link` | Register an attendee and obtain their unique Demio join link |

## Example prompts

**Get Event**

> Pull the relevant data from Demio, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention.

**List Event Date Participants**

> List the relevant items in Demio, group them by priority, and recommend what Hermes should do next.

**List Event Dates**

> List the relevant items in Demio, group them by priority, and recommend what Hermes should do next.

**List Events**

> List the relevant items in Demio, 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 Demio working from chat.

| | Manual | ClawLink |
|---|---|---|
| **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Demio API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Demio 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 Demio. | 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 Demio actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 6 tools for Demio are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. |

## ClawLink vs. Composio

Composio also exposes Demio 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 Demio in the browser, and the 6 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Demio key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

### Hermes paired but still can't use Demio
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`.

### Connection succeeds but no tools appear
Reconnect Demio 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 Demio tools
Demio 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 Demio 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.

### Demio 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 Demio 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 Demio integration?
Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Demio: link your Demio account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Demio API through 6 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling.

### How do I connect Demio 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 Demio in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Demio key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment.

### How long does it take to connect Demio to Hermes Agent?
About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Demio in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message.

### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Demio 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 Demio working from chat.

### Hermes paired but still can't use Demio
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`.
