# How to connect Hub Planner to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 122 tools) > Connect Hub Planner to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Hub Planner key once and 122 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/hub-planner Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Hub Planner 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 Hub Planner setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Hub Planner for you, reading and doing real work on your behalf with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself. **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 Hub Planner. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Hub Planner** — 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 hub-planner # connect Hub Planner (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions hub-planner # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run hub-planner --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 Hub Planner in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Hub Planner API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Use Hub Planner to add clients to project and walk me through the result in plain English. ### 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 Hub Planner is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 122 Hub Planner tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Hub Planner to Hermes Agent and exposes 122 Hub Planner 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 Hub Planner integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/hub-planner) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Hub Planner integration can do 122 Hub Planner tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. The 30 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 122. ### 30 of 122 Hub Planner tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Add clients to project** `hub_planner_add_clients_to_project` | Add clients to a project by project ID | | **Add project custom field choices** `hub_planner_add_project_custom_field_choices` | Add choices to a project custom field template of SELECT, RADIO, or CHECKBOX type | | **Add project tags** `hub_planner_add_project_tags` | Add tags to a Hub Planner project | | **Add projects to group** `hub_planner_add_projects_to_group` | Add projects to a project group in Hub Planner | | **Get billing rate** `hub_planner_get_billing_rate` | Retrieve a specific billing rate by ID from Hub Planner | | **Get booking** `hub_planner_get_booking` | Retrieve a specific booking by ID from Hub Planner | | **Get booking category** `hub_planner_get_booking_category` | Retrieve a specific booking category by ID from Hub Planner | | **Get client** `hub_planner_get_client` | Retrieve a specific client by ID from Hub Planner | | **Get cost category** `hub_planner_get_cost_category` | Retrieve a specific project cost category by ID from Hub Planner | | **Get event** `hub_planner_get_event` | Retrieve a specific event by ID from Hub Planner | | **Get holiday** `hub_planner_get_holiday` | Retrieve a specific holiday by ID from Hub Planner | | **Get milestone** `hub_planner_get_milestone` | Retrieve a specific milestone by ID from Hub Planner | | **Get project** `hub_planner_get_project` | Retrieve a specific project by ID from Hub Planner | | **Get project custom field template** `hub_planner_get_project_custom_field_template` | Retrieve a specific project custom field template by ID | | **Get project custom field templates** `hub_planner_get_project_custom_field_templates` | Retrieve all project custom field templates defined for your Hub Planner account | | **Get project group** `hub_planner_get_project_group` | Retrieve a specific project group by ID from Hub Planner | | **Get project tags** `hub_planner_get_project_tags` | Retrieve all tags associated with a specific Hub Planner project | | **Get resource** `hub_planner_get_resource` | Retrieve a specific resource by ID from Hub Planner | | **Get resource custom field template** `hub_planner_get_resource_custom_field_template` | Retrieve a specific resource custom field template by ID from Hub Planner | | **Get resource custom field templates** `hub_planner_get_resource_custom_field_templates` | Retrieve custom field templates defined for resources in your Hub Planner account | | **Get resource tags** `hub_planner_get_resource_tags` | Retrieve all tags associated with a specific resource from Hub Planner | | **Get time entry** `hub_planner_get_time_entry` | Retrieve a specific time entry by ID from Hub Planner | | **Get vacation** `hub_planner_get_vacation` | Retrieve a specific vacation by ID from Hub Planner | | **List billing rates** `hub_planner_list_billing_rates` | Retrieve all billing rates from Hub Planner | | **List booking categories** `hub_planner_list_booking_categories` | Retrieve all booking categories from Hub Planner | | **List bookings** `hub_planner_list_bookings` | Retrieve all bookings from Hub Planner with pagination support | | **List category groups** `hub_planner_list_category_groups` | Get all category groups from Hub Planner | | **List clients** `hub_planner_list_clients` | Get all clients from Hub Planner | | **List cost categories** `hub_planner_list_cost_categories` | Retrieve all project cost categories from Hub Planner | | **List events** `hub_planner_list_events` | Retrieve all events from Hub Planner | ## Example prompts **Add Clients To Project** > Use Hub Planner to add clients to project and walk me through the result in plain English. **Add Project Custom Field Choices** > Use Hub Planner to add project custom field choices and walk me through the result in plain English. **Add Project Tags** > Use Hub Planner to add project tags and walk me through the result in plain English. **Add Projects To Group** > Use Hub Planner to add projects to group and walk me through the result in plain English. ## 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 Hub Planner working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Hub Planner API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Hub Planner 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 Hub Planner. | 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 Hub Planner actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 122 tools for Hub Planner are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Hub Planner 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 Hub Planner in the browser, and the 122 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Hub Planner 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 Hub Planner 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 Hub Planner tools Hub Planner 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 Hub Planner 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. ### Hub Planner 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 Hub Planner 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 Hub Planner integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Hub Planner: link your Hub Planner account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Hub Planner API through 122 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Hub Planner 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 Hub Planner in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Hub Planner key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Hub Planner to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Hub Planner in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Hub Planner 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 Hub Planner working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Hub Planner 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.
