# How to connect Rollbar to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 17 tools) > Connect Rollbar to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Rollbar key once and 17 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/rollbar Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Rollbar 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 Rollbar setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Rollbar 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 Rollbar. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Rollbar** — 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 rollbar # connect Rollbar (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions rollbar # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run rollbar --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 Rollbar in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Rollbar API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Use Rollbar to check team project assignment 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 Rollbar is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 17 Rollbar tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Rollbar to Hermes Agent and exposes 17 Rollbar 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 Rollbar integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/rollbar) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Rollbar integration can do 17 Rollbar tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. ### All 17 Rollbar tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Check team project assignment** `rollbar_check_team_project_assignment` | Check if a team is assigned to a project in Rollbar | | **Check user team assignment** `rollbar_check_user_team_assignment` | Check if a user is assigned to a team in Rollbar | | **Get occurrences metrics** `rollbar_get_occurrences_metrics` | Get occurrence counts over a span of time with flexible grouping, filtering, and aggregation | | **Get project** `rollbar_get_project` | Retrieve details of a specific Rollbar project by its ID | | **Get team** `rollbar_get_team` | Retrieve details of a specific team by ID | | **Get ttr metrics** `rollbar_get_ttr_metrics` | Get resolution time metrics for a list of projects | | **Get user** `rollbar_get_user` | Retrieve a specific user from Rollbar by their user ID | | **List all projects** `rollbar_list_all_projects` | List all projects in the Rollbar account | | **List all teams** `rollbar_list_all_teams` | List all teams in a Rollbar account | | **List all users** `rollbar_list_all_users` | List all users in the Rollbar account | | **List project teams** `rollbar_list_project_teams` | List all teams with access to a Rollbar project | | **List rql jobs** `rollbar_list_rql_jobs` | List all RQL (Rollbar Query Language) jobs | | **List team invitations** `rollbar_list_team_invitations` | List pending invitations to a Rollbar team | | **List team projects** `rollbar_list_team_projects` | List all projects a team has access to in Rollbar | | **List team users** `rollbar_list_team_users` | List all users in a Rollbar team | | **List user projects** `rollbar_list_user_projects` | List all projects a user has access to | | **List user teams** `rollbar_list_user_teams` | List all teams a user belongs to in Rollbar | ## Example prompts **Check Team Project Assignment** > Use Rollbar to check team project assignment and walk me through the result in plain English. **Check User Team Assignment** > Use Rollbar to check user team assignment and walk me through the result in plain English. **Get Occurrences Metrics** > Pull the relevant data from Rollbar, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Project** > Pull the relevant data from Rollbar, 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 Rollbar working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Rollbar API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Rollbar 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 Rollbar. | 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 Rollbar actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 17 tools for Rollbar are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Rollbar 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 Rollbar in the browser, and the 17 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Rollbar 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 Rollbar 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 Rollbar tools Rollbar 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 Rollbar 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. ### Rollbar 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 Rollbar 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 Rollbar integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Rollbar: link your Rollbar account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Rollbar API through 17 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Rollbar 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 Rollbar in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Rollbar key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Rollbar to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Rollbar in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Rollbar 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 Rollbar working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Rollbar 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.
