# How to connect Ramp to Hermes Agent (no API keys) > Connect Ramp to Hermes with ClawLink in one click — 168 tools your AI agent can call from chat via hosted OAuth. No API keys, no manual setup. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/ramp Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Ramp 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 Ramp setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Ramp 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 Ramp. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Ramp** — 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 ramp # connect Ramp (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions ramp # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run ramp --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 Ramp in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — a one-click OAuth approval, no API keys. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Use Ramp to mcp ramp answer policy question 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 Ramp is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 168 Ramp tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Ramp to Hermes Agent and exposes 168 Ramp 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 Ramp integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/ramp) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Ramp integration can do 168 Ramp 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 168. ### 30 of 168 Ramp tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Mcp ramp answer policy question** `ramp_mcp_ramp_answer_policy_question` | Use this tool when the user asks about expense policy rules, spending limits, fund | | **Mcp ramp create fund request** `ramp_mcp_ramp_create_fund_request` | Always use this tool (never invent URLs) and include the returned url in your next message | | **Mcp ramp departments** `ramp_mcp_ramp_departments` | Returns the departments available in the user's business, which can be used as inputs to | | **Mcp ramp estimate mileage reimbursement** `ramp_mcp_ramp_estimate_mileage_reimbursement` | Estimate the reimbursement amount for a given mileage distance based on the user's company rates | | **Mcp ramp estimate per diem amount** `ramp_mcp_ramp_estimate_per_diem_amount` | Estimate the per diem reimbursement amount for a trip given start/end dates and optional meal | | **Mcp ramp events** `ramp_mcp_ramp_events` | Get audit log events | | **Mcp ramp execute analyst query** `ramp_mcp_ramp_execute_analyst_query` | First use the analyst catalog and read the domain docs for every table in the query;

That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Ramp working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Connection flow** | Register a Ramp app, configure redirect URLs, manage consent details, and reconnect users when auth settings drift. | Users connect Ramp through the hosted browser flow and ClawLink keeps the token lifecycle out of your app code. | | **Ongoing maintenance** | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for Ramp. | 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 Ramp actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 168 tools for Ramp are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Ramp 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 Ramp in the browser, and the 168 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK, no config file, and no API key handling. 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 Ramp 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 Ramp tools Ramp 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 Ramp 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. ### Ramp 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. ### OAuth finished in the browser but the account is still missing Try reconnecting Ramp and complete the consent flow in the same browser session. Partial OAuth approvals or switching accounts mid-flow can leave the connection incomplete. ### Is there a Hermes Agent Ramp integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Ramp: link your Ramp account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Ramp API through 168 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Ramp 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 Ramp in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files or API keys to manage. ### How long does it take to connect Ramp to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Ramp in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Ramp up myself? The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual OAuth app 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 Ramp working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Ramp 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.
