# How to connect Heights Platform to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 16 tools)

> Connect Heights Platform to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Heights Platform key once and 16 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine.

Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/heights-platform

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

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

Verify the connection by asking Hermes:

> Pull the relevant data from Heights Platform, 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 Heights Platform is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 16 Heights Platform tools over MCP.

## Heights Platform MCP for Hermes

Looking for a Heights Platform MCP server for Hermes Agent? ClawLink connects Heights Platform to Hermes Agent and exposes 16 Heights Platform 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 Heights Platform integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/heights-platform) works the same way.

## 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 Heights Platform working from chat.

| | Manual | ClawLink |
|---|---|---|
| **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Heights Platform API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Heights Platform 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 Heights Platform. | 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 Heights Platform actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 16 tools for Heights Platform are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. |

## ClawLink vs. Composio

Composio also exposes Heights Platform 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 Heights Platform in the browser, and the 16 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Heights Platform 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 Heights Platform
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 Heights Platform 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 Heights Platform tools
Heights Platform 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 Heights Platform 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.

### Heights Platform 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 Heights Platform 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 Heights Platform integration?
Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Heights Platform: link your Heights Platform account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Heights Platform API through 16 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling.

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

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

### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Heights Platform 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 Heights Platform working from chat.

### Hermes paired but still can't use Heights Platform
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`.
