How to connect Simplekpi to Hermes Agent
Connect Simplekpi to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Simplekpi key once and 51 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine.
SimplekpiBASIC AUTHMCPBeautifully simple KPI software.. Once connected, Hermes Agent can read and act on Simplekpi from chat — pairing, token refresh, and tool wiring handled for you.
Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Simplekpi 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 Simplekpi setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Simplekpi 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 Simplekpi.
1Install and pair
Install the ClawLink plugin, then pair Hermes with a one-time browser approval:
hermes plugins install ClawLink-HQ/hermes-plugin --enable- 2
Connect Simplekpi
Enter your account details in the dashboard.
- 3
Use it from chat
Ask Hermes Agent: "What can you do with Simplekpi?"
Install by command
The prompt above walks Hermes through this. By hand, it is four commands and a browser approval:
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 testThen connect Simplekpi in the ClawLink dashboard — enter your Simplekpi account details once.
Verify the connection by asking Hermes:
Pull the relevant data from Simplekpi, 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:
npx -y @useclawlink/cli loginlogin opens the same browser approval and stores a credential locally. Once Simplekpi is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 51 Simplekpi tools over MCP. Full setup for MCP clients and shell agents: connect apps to any AI agent.

ClawLink vs. building it yourself
The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual credential 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 Simplekpi working from chat.
| Manual | ClawLink | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup flow | Collect and store the right Simplekpi credentials yourself, then keep the account mapping and request format correct. | ClawLink keeps the setup in one hosted flow so non-technical users can link Simplekpi without custom integration screens. |
| Ongoing maintenance | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for Simplekpi. | 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 Simplekpi actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 51 tools for Simplekpi are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. |
ClawLink vs. Composio
Composio also exposes Simplekpi 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 Simplekpi in the browser, and the 51 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Simplekpi key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Troubleshooting
Hermes paired but still can't use Simplekpi
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 Simplekpi 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 Simplekpi tools
Simplekpi 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 Simplekpi 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.
Simplekpi 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.
The setup form accepts credentials but calls still fail
Re-enter the credentials carefully and verify the account-level permissions for Simplekpi. Basic and token-based integrations tend to fail on formatting mistakes or limited account roles.
