# How to connect Lumify to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 10 tools) > Connect Lumify to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Lumify key once and 10 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/lumify Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Lumify 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 Lumify setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Lumify 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 Lumify. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Lumify** — 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 lumify # connect Lumify (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions lumify # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run lumify --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 Lumify in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Lumify API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Pull the relevant data from Lumify, 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 Lumify is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 10 Lumify tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Lumify to Hermes Agent and exposes 10 Lumify 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 Lumify integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/lumify) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Lumify integration can do 10 Lumify tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. ### All 10 Lumify tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get credit usage** `lumify_get_credit_usage` | Get the Lumify account tier, usage, limits, trial state, and remaining credits | | **Get event analysis** `lumify_get_event_analysis` | Fetch selected intelligence, odds, odds history, public splits, and/or deterministic stats for | | **Get event score** `lumify_get_event_score` | Get a compact current score and status snapshot for one Lumify event | | **Get events** `lumify_get_events` | Fetch full details for 1-25 event IDs in one API request, optionally including odds or | | **List events** `lumify_list_events` | Find scheduled, live, or historical Lumify events with structured filters and one-page cursor | | **List player events** `lumify_list_player_events` | List one Lumify player's schedule and results with date and status filters, returning one | | **List sports or seasons** `lumify_list_sports_or_seasons` | List Lumify sports and leagues or seasons | | **Plan credit costs** `lumify_plan_credit_costs` | Discover Lumify estimator tool identifiers or estimate credit ranges for up to 50 planned calls | | **Search players** `lumify_search_players` | Search Lumify players by sport, partial name, country, activity, or tennis ranking and return | | **Search teams** `lumify_search_teams` | Search teams by sport, league, conference, division, country, active status, or partial team | ## Example prompts **Get Credit Usage** > Pull the relevant data from Lumify, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Event Analysis** > Pull the relevant data from Lumify, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Event Score** > Pull the relevant data from Lumify, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Events** > Pull the relevant data from Lumify, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. ## 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 Lumify working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Lumify API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Lumify 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 Lumify. | 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 Lumify actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 10 tools for Lumify are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Lumify 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 Lumify in the browser, and the 10 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Lumify 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 Lumify 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 Lumify tools Lumify 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 Lumify 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. ### Lumify 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 Lumify 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 Lumify integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Lumify: link your Lumify account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Lumify API through 10 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Lumify 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 Lumify in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Lumify key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Lumify to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Lumify in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Lumify 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 Lumify working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Lumify 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.
