# How to connect Icypeas to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 22 tools) > Connect Icypeas to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Icypeas key once and 22 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/icypeas Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Icypeas 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 Icypeas setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Icypeas 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 Icypeas. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Icypeas** — 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 icypeas # connect Icypeas (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions icypeas # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run icypeas --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 Icypeas in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Icypeas API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Use Icypeas to bulk find profile urls 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 Icypeas is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 22 Icypeas tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Icypeas to Hermes Agent and exposes 22 Icypeas 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 Icypeas integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/icypeas) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Icypeas integration can do 22 Icypeas tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. ### All 22 Icypeas tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Bulk find profile URLS** `icypeas_bulk_find_profile_urls` | Perform bulk search for profile URLs based on firstname, lastname, and company/domain or job | | **Bulk reverse email lookup** `icypeas_bulk_reverse_email_lookup` | Find LinkedIn profile URLs for multiple professional email addresses in a single request | | **Check progress** `icypeas_check_progress` | Check the processing progress of a search by its ID | | **Count companies** `icypeas_count_companies` | Count companies in Icypeas database matching specified filters without returning data or being | | **Count people** `icypeas_count_people` | Count people matching specified filters without retrieving data or consuming credits | | **Fetch bulk search info** `icypeas_fetch_bulk_search_info` | Retrieve bulk search files with their status and progress | | **Fetch subscription info** `icypeas_fetch_subscription_info` | Retrieves subscription details and remaining credits for an Icypeas account | | **Find companies** `icypeas_find_companies` | Search companies in Icypeas database | | **Find linkedin profile by email** `icypeas_find_linkedin_profile_by_email` | Find the LinkedIn profile URL behind a single professional email address | | **Find people** `icypeas_find_people` | Search for people/leads in the Icypeas database | | **Find profile URL** `icypeas_find_profile_url` | Finds a person's LinkedIn profile URL using their name and company or job title | | **Parse bulk search statistics** `icypeas_parse_bulk_search_statistics` | Parse bulk search statistics webhook | | **Retrieve search results** `icypeas_retrieve_search_results` | Retrieve the results of a search by ID or to paginate through bulk search results | | **Setup notifications** `icypeas_setup_notifications` | Provides instructions for setting up Icypeas push notifications/webhooks | | **Bulk email search** `icypeas_bulk_email_search` | Initiate a bulk email search job to find professional email addresses for multiple people at | | **Bulk scrape** `icypeas_bulk_scrape` | Scrape multiple LinkedIn profiles or companies in bulk (up to 50 per request) | | **Domain scan** `icypeas_domain_scan` | Scan a domain for role-based email addresses | | **Find company URL** `icypeas_find_company_url` | Find a single company profile URL using a company name or domain | | **Find single email** `icypeas_find_single_email` | Initiates an asynchronous email search to find a prospect's email address using their name and | | **Scrape company** `icypeas_scrape_company` | Initiate scraping of a LinkedIn company page | | **Scrape profile** `icypeas_scrape_profile` | Initiate scraping of a LinkedIn profile | | **Verify email** `icypeas_verify_email` | Verify if a specific email address exists and is valid | ## Example prompts **Bulk Find Profile Urls** > Use Icypeas to bulk find profile urls and walk me through the result in plain English. **Bulk Reverse Email Lookup** > Use Icypeas to bulk reverse email lookup and walk me through the result in plain English. **Check Progress** > Use Icypeas to check progress and walk me through the result in plain English. **Count Companies** > Use Icypeas to count companies 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 Icypeas working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Icypeas API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Icypeas 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 Icypeas. | 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 Icypeas actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 22 tools for Icypeas are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Icypeas 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 Icypeas in the browser, and the 22 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Icypeas key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them? Read the full [Composio alternatives](https://claw-link.dev/hub/composio-alternatives) comparison. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Icypeas 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 Icypeas 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 Icypeas tools Icypeas 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 Icypeas 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. ### Icypeas 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 Icypeas 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 Icypeas integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Icypeas: link your Icypeas account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Icypeas API through 22 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Icypeas 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 Icypeas in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Icypeas key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Icypeas to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Icypeas in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Icypeas 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 Icypeas working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Icypeas 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 - [Hermes ActiveCampaign integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/activecampaign) — Marketing automation, CRM, and email marketing - [Benchmark Email](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/benchmark-email) — Benchmark Email is a comprehensive email marketing platform offering tools for creating, sending, and analyzing email campaigns. - [Hermes Mailchimp integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/mailchimp) — Create email campaigns and manage audiences
