# How to connect Spoki to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 57 tools) > Connect Spoki to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Spoki key once and 57 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/spoki Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Spoki 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 Spoki setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Spoki 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 Spoki. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Spoki** — 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 spoki # connect Spoki (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions spoki # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run spoki --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 Spoki in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Spoki API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Use Spoki to check role private key 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 Spoki is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 57 Spoki tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Spoki to Hermes Agent and exposes 57 Spoki 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 Spoki integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/spoki) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Spoki integration can do 57 Spoki 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 57. ### 30 of 57 Spoki tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Check role private key** `spoki_check_role_private_key` | Check if a service user role has a private key configured | | **Get account current report** `spoki_get_account_current_report` | Get the current report for a specified account | | **List accounts** `spoki_list_accounts` | Retrieve a list of Spoki WhatsApp Business accounts with their details | | **List agencies** `spoki_list_agencies` | List all agencies accessible to the user | | **List automations** `spoki_list_automations` | List, search, and filter automations | | **List campaigns** `spoki_list_campaigns` | List, search, and filter campaigns | | **List contacts** `spoki_list_contacts` | List, search, and filter contacts | | **List custom fields** `spoki_list_custom_fields` | List, search, and filter custom fields | | **List lists** `spoki_list_lists` | List, search, and filter contact lists | | **List media** `spoki_list_media` | List media files | | **List partners** `spoki_list_partners` | List all partners accessible to the authenticated account | | **List reports** `spoki_list_reports` | List, search, and filter usage reports | | **List roles** `spoki_list_roles` | List user roles in the system | | **List tags** `spoki_list_tags` | Lists all tags in the account | | **List templates** `spoki_list_templates` | List, search, and filter WhatsApp templates | | **List tickets** `spoki_list_tickets` | List, search, and filter tickets | | **Retrieve account** `spoki_retrieve_account` | Retrieves detailed information about a specific Spoki WhatsApp Business account | | **Retrieve automation** `spoki_retrieve_automation` | Retrieve details of a specific automation | | **Retrieve contact** `spoki_retrieve_contact` | Retrieve details of a specific contact | | **Retrieve custom field** `spoki_retrieve_custom_field` | Retrieve details of a specific custom field | | **Retrieve list** `spoki_retrieve_list` | Retrieve details of a specific list by ID | | **Retrieve media** `spoki_retrieve_media` | Retrieve details of a specific media file by ID | | **Retrieve role** `spoki_retrieve_role` | Retrieve details of a specific role by ID | | **Retrieve tag** `spoki_retrieve_tag` | Retrieve details of a specific tag | | **Retrieve template** `spoki_retrieve_template` | Retrieve details of a specific template | | **Add contact operator** `spoki_add_contact_operator` | Assign an operator to a contact's chat | | **Add service user** `spoki_add_service_user` | Adds a new service user with a specific role to your Spoki account | | **Clone template** `spoki_clone_template` | Create a duplicate copy of an existing template | | **Create account onboarding link** `spoki_create_account_onboarding_link` | Create an onboarding link for a specific Spoki account | | **Create custom field** `spoki_create_custom_field` | Creates a new custom field in Spoki for storing additional contact data | ## Example prompts **Check Role Private Key** > Use Spoki to check role private key and walk me through the result in plain English. **Get Account Current Report** > Pull the relevant data from Spoki, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **List Accounts** > List the relevant items in Spoki, group them by priority, and recommend what Hermes should do next. **List Agencies** > List the relevant items in Spoki, group them by priority, and recommend what Hermes should do next. ## 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 Spoki working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Spoki API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Spoki 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 Spoki. | 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 Spoki actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 57 tools for Spoki are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Spoki 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 Spoki in the browser, and the 57 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Spoki 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 Spoki 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 Spoki tools Spoki 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 Spoki 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. ### Spoki 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 Spoki 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 Spoki integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Spoki: link your Spoki account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Spoki API through 57 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Spoki 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 Spoki in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Spoki key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Spoki to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Spoki in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Spoki 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 Spoki working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Spoki 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.
