# How to connect Securitytrails to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 12 tools) > Connect Securitytrails to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Securitytrails key once and 12 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/securitytrails Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Securitytrails 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 Securitytrails setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Securitytrails 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 Securitytrails. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Securitytrails** — 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 securitytrails # connect Securitytrails (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions securitytrails # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run securitytrails --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 Securitytrails in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Securitytrails API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Pull the relevant data from Securitytrails, 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 Securitytrails is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 12 Securitytrails tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Securitytrails to Hermes Agent and exposes 12 Securitytrails 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 Securitytrails integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/securitytrails) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Securitytrails integration can do 12 Securitytrails tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. ### All 12 Securitytrails tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get company associated ips** `securitytrails_get_company_associated_ips` | Retrieve IPs associated with a company domain | | **Get domain** `securitytrails_get_domain` | Retrieves comprehensive domain information from SecurityTrails including current DNS records | | **Get domain ssl** `securitytrails_get_domain_ssl` | Fetch current and historical SSL certificate details for a hostname | | **Ip search statistics** `securitytrails_ip_search_statistics` | Fetch aggregated statistics for IP addresses matching a DSL query | | **List projects** `securitytrails_list_projects` | List ASI projects available to the account | | **Ping** `securitytrails_ping` | Test authentication and connectivity with the SecurityTrails API | | **Scroll** `securitytrails_scroll` | Continue scrolling through DSL search results | | **Search ips** `securitytrails_search_ips` | Search IP addresses via SecurityTrails DSL | | **SQL API execute query** `securitytrails_sql_api_execute_query` | Execute SQL-like queries against SecurityTrails data | | **SQL API scroll results** `securitytrails_sql_api_scroll_results` | Fetch next page of SQL query results | | **Temp scrape securitytrails usage** `securitytrails_temp_scrape_securitytrails_usage` | Retrieve account usage information from the SecurityTrails API | | **Bulk static asset rules** `securitytrails_bulk_static_asset_rules` | Bulk add or remove static asset rules for a SecurityTrails ASI project | ## Example prompts **Get Company Associated Ips** > Pull the relevant data from Securitytrails, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Domain** > Pull the relevant data from Securitytrails, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Domain Ssl** > Pull the relevant data from Securitytrails, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Ip Search Statistics** > Search Securitytrails for what I need, summarize the results, and tell me the next best action. ## 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 Securitytrails working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Securitytrails API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Securitytrails 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 Securitytrails. | 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 Securitytrails actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 12 tools for Securitytrails are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Securitytrails 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 Securitytrails in the browser, and the 12 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Securitytrails 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 Securitytrails 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 Securitytrails tools Securitytrails 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 Securitytrails 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. ### Securitytrails 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 Securitytrails 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 Securitytrails integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Securitytrails: link your Securitytrails account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Securitytrails API through 12 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Securitytrails 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 Securitytrails in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Securitytrails key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Securitytrails to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Securitytrails in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Securitytrails 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 Securitytrails working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Securitytrails 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.
