# How to connect Stormglass Io to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 6 tools) > Connect Stormglass Io to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Stormglass Io key once and 6 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/stormglass-io Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Stormglass Io 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 Stormglass Io setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Stormglass Io 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 Stormglass Io. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Stormglass Io** — 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 stormglass-io # connect Stormglass Io (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions stormglass-io # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run stormglass-io --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 Stormglass Io in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Stormglass Io API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Pull the relevant data from Stormglass Io, 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 Stormglass Io is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 6 Stormglass Io tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Stormglass Io to Hermes Agent and exposes 6 Stormglass Io 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 Stormglass Io integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/stormglass-io) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Stormglass Io integration can do 6 Stormglass Io tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. ### All 6 Stormglass Io tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get elevation point** `stormglass_io_get_elevation_point` | Fetch elevation data for a single geographic point | | **Get tide extremes point** `stormglass_io_get_tide_extremes_point` | Retrieve high and low tide times with corresponding sea level heights for a coordinate | | **Get tide stations area** `stormglass_io_get_tide_stations_area` | List tide stations within a defined geographic bounding box | | **Get tide stations list** `stormglass_io_get_tide_stations_list` | List all available tide stations | | **Stormglass get solar point** `stormglass_io_stormglass_get_solar_point` | Fetch solar irradiation and sun-position data for a specific coordinate | | **Stormglass get weather point** `stormglass_io_stormglass_get_weather_point` | Fetch marine and land weather data for a specific coordinate | ## Example prompts **Get Elevation Point** > Pull the relevant data from Stormglass Io, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Tide Extremes Point** > Pull the relevant data from Stormglass Io, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Tide Stations Area** > Pull the relevant data from Stormglass Io, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Tide Stations List** > Pull the relevant data from Stormglass Io, 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 Stormglass Io working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Stormglass Io API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Stormglass Io 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 Stormglass Io. | 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 Stormglass Io actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 6 tools for Stormglass Io are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Stormglass Io 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 Stormglass Io in the browser, and the 6 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Stormglass Io 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 Stormglass Io 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 Stormglass Io tools Stormglass Io 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 Stormglass Io 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. ### Stormglass Io 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 Stormglass Io 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 Stormglass Io integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Stormglass Io: link your Stormglass Io account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Stormglass Io API through 6 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Stormglass Io 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 Stormglass Io in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Stormglass Io key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Stormglass Io to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Stormglass Io in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Stormglass Io 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 Stormglass Io working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Stormglass Io 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`. ## Related - [Hermes GitHub integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/github) — Manage repositories, issues, pull requests, and workflows - [PagerDuty](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/pagerduty) — Manage incidents, on-call schedules, and services - [Hermes SafetyCulture integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/safetyculture) — SafetyCulture (formerly iAuditor) is a workplace operations platform that enables teams to conduct digital inspections, manage audits, track issues, schedule tasks, and maintain compliance through mobile and web applications.
