# How to connect Dynapictures to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 7 tools)

> Connect Dynapictures to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Dynapictures key once and 7 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine.

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

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

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

Verify the connection by asking Hermes:

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

### 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 Dynapictures is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 7 Dynapictures tools over MCP.

## Dynapictures MCP for Hermes

Looking for a Dynapictures MCP server for Hermes Agent? ClawLink connects Dynapictures to Hermes Agent and exposes 7 Dynapictures 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 Dynapictures integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/dynapictures) works the same way.

## What the Hermes Agent Dynapictures integration can do

7 Dynapictures tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. The 6 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 7.

### 6 of 7 Dynapictures tools for Hermes

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| **List templates** `dynapictures_list_templates` | Get all image templates that are ready and have the 'Sync to Zapier' checkbox enabled |
| **List workspaces** `dynapictures_list_workspaces` | Get all workspaces associated with the API key |
| **Create workspace** `dynapictures_create_workspace` | Create a new workspace for organizing templates, images, and media library assets |
| **Update workspace** `dynapictures_update_workspace` | Update an existing workspace's details by workspace ID |
| **Upload media asset** `dynapictures_upload_media_asset` | Upload an image and create a media asset object |
| **Unsubscribe webhook** `dynapictures_unsubscribe_webhook` | Unsubscribe from webhook notifications by providing the same parameters used during subscription |

## Example prompts

**List Templates**

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

**List Workspaces**

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

**Create Workspace**

> Create it in Dynapictures for me, then confirm the important fields before you finish.

**Update Workspace**

> Update it in Dynapictures, then show me exactly what changed.

## 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 Dynapictures working from chat.

| | Manual | ClawLink |
|---|---|---|
| **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Dynapictures API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Dynapictures 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 Dynapictures. | 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 Dynapictures actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 7 tools for Dynapictures are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. |

## ClawLink vs. Composio

Composio also exposes Dynapictures 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 Dynapictures in the browser, and the 7 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Dynapictures 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 Dynapictures
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 Dynapictures 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 Dynapictures tools
Dynapictures 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 Dynapictures 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.

### Dynapictures 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 Dynapictures 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 Dynapictures integration?
Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Dynapictures: link your Dynapictures account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Dynapictures API through 7 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling.

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

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

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

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