# How to connect Dpd2 to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 8 tools) > Connect Dpd2 to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Dpd2 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/dpd2 Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Dpd2 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 Dpd2 setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Dpd2 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 Dpd2. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Dpd2** — 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 dpd2 # connect Dpd2 (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions dpd2 # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run dpd2 --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 Dpd2 in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Dpd2 API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Pull the relevant data from Dpd2, 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 Dpd2 is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 8 Dpd2 tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Dpd2 to Hermes Agent and exposes 8 Dpd2 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 Dpd2 integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/dpd2) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Dpd2 integration can do 8 Dpd2 tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. ### All 8 Dpd2 tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get storefront** `dpd2_get_storefront` | Retrieves detailed information about a specific DPD storefront by its ID | | **List customers2** `dpd2_list_customers2` | List customers in your DPD account with advanced filtering | | **List purchases** `dpd2_list_purchases` | List all purchases made through your DPD account | | **List storefronts** `dpd2_list_storefronts` | List all storefronts in your DPD account | | **List subscribers** `dpd2_list_subscribers` | List subscribers for a given storefront | | **Ping** `dpd2_ping` | Ping the API to check its status | | **Verify notification2** `dpd2_verify_notification2` | Verify a POST from the URL integration (IPN/webhook) | | **Verify subscriber** `dpd2_verify_subscriber` | Verify a subscriber's subscription status | ## Example prompts **Get Storefront** > Pull the relevant data from Dpd2, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **List Customers2** > List the relevant items in Dpd2, group them by priority, and recommend what Hermes should do next. **List Purchases** > List the relevant items in Dpd2, group them by priority, and recommend what Hermes should do next. **List Storefronts** > List the relevant items in Dpd2, 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 Dpd2 working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Dpd2 API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Dpd2 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 Dpd2. | 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 Dpd2 actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 8 tools for Dpd2 are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Dpd2 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 Dpd2 in the browser, and the 8 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Dpd2 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 Dpd2 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 Dpd2 tools Dpd2 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 Dpd2 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. ### Dpd2 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 Dpd2 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 Dpd2 integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Dpd2: link your Dpd2 account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Dpd2 API through 8 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Dpd2 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 Dpd2 in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Dpd2 key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Dpd2 to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Dpd2 in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Dpd2 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 Dpd2 working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Dpd2 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 - [Connect Cloudcart](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/cloudcart) — CloudCart is an e-commerce platform that enables businesses to create and manage online stores efficiently. - [Connect Wix](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/wix) — Manage sites, products, orders, and bookings - [Baselinker](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/baselinker) — BaseLinker is a comprehensive e-commerce management platform that integrates with various marketplaces, online stores, carriers, and accounting systems to streamline order processing, inventory management, and sales automation.
