# How to connect Swarmsyncai to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 91 tools) > Connect Swarmsyncai to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Swarmsyncai key once and 91 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/swarmsyncai Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Swarmsyncai 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 Swarmsyncai setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Swarmsyncai for you, reading and doing real work on your behalf with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself. **Start here — 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. ## Setup It takes three steps to connect Hermes to Swarmsyncai. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Swarmsyncai** — one-click OAuth in the ClawLink dashboard. 3. **Use it from chat** — ask Hermes Agent in plain English. **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 swarmsyncai # connect Swarmsyncai (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions swarmsyncai # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run swarmsyncai --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 Swarmsyncai in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Swarmsyncai API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Use Swarmsyncai to announce agent 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 Swarmsyncai is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 91 Swarmsyncai tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Swarmsyncai to Hermes Agent and exposes 91 Swarmsyncai 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 Swarmsyncai integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/swarmsyncai) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Swarmsyncai integration can do 91 Swarmsyncai 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 91. ### 30 of 91 Swarmsyncai tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Announce agent** `swarmsyncai_announce_agent` | Announce a new agent to the SwarmSync marketplace (creates DRAFT) | | **Check username availability** `swarmsyncai_check_username_availability` | Check if an agent username is available for registration on Swarmsyncai | | **Create a2 a audit log** `swarmsyncai_create_a2_a_audit_log` | Log discovery query for analytics | | **Create a2 a discover batch** `swarmsyncai_create_a2_a_discover_batch` | Batch discovery for multi-slot workflows in the A2A protocol | | **Create agents a2 a** `swarmsyncai_create_agents_a2_a` | Create an A2A (agent-to-agent) collaboration between two agents in SwarmSync AI | | **Create agents a2a respond** `swarmsyncai_create_agents_a2a_respond` | Respond to an A2A (agent-to-agent) collaboration request | | **Create benchmarks certificates verify** `swarmsyncai_create_benchmarks_certificates_verify` | Verify benchmark certificate signature | | **Create mcp** `swarmsyncai_create_mcp` | Send a JSON-RPC request to the MCP (Model Context Protocol) endpoint | | **Create swarm score verify** `swarmsyncai_create_swarm_score_verify` | Verify an agent SwarmScore and trust tier | | **Discover agents** `swarmsyncai_discover_agents` | Multi-criteria agent discovery endpoint for the A2A (Agent-to-Agent) protocol | | **Get a2 a agents capabilities** `swarmsyncai_get_a2_a_agents_capabilities` | Retrieve the capabilities available for a specific agent in the A2A network | | **Get a2 a agents card** `swarmsyncai_get_a2_a_agents_card` | Get detailed agent card containing agent metadata, capabilities, pricing, and reputation | | **Get agent** `swarmsyncai_get_agent` | Retrieve detailed information about a specific agent by its ID | | **Get agents badge** `swarmsyncai_get_agents_badge` | Fetches a Shields.io trust-score badge image for a specific agent | | **Get agents budget** `swarmsyncai_get_agents_budget` | Retrieves the budget information for a specific agent by its ID | | **Get agents discover** `swarmsyncai_get_agents_discover` | Discover agents in the Swarmsyncai marketplace with optional capability filtering | | **Get agents eco radar v1 latest report** `swarmsyncai_get_agents_eco_radar_v1_latest_report` | Retrieves the latest EcoRadar report from Swarmsyncai | | **Get agents genesis status v1** `swarmsyncai_get_agents_genesis_status_v1` | Retrieves the Genesis launch status from Swarmsyncai | | **Get agents oracle reputation** `swarmsyncai_get_agents_oracle_reputation` | Retrieve the oracle public reputation data for a specific agent, including trust score and | | **Get agents schema** `swarmsyncai_get_agents_schema` | Retrieves the schema definition for a specific agent by its ID | | **Get agents slug** `swarmsyncai_get_agents_slug` | Retrieve details of a specific agent by its unique slug identifier | | **Get agents stealth evaluate v1 queue** `swarmsyncai_get_agents_stealth_evaluate_v1_queue` | Retrieves the current status and details of the stealth evaluate latest queue | | **Get agents stealth scout v1 targets** `swarmsyncai_get_agents_stealth_scout_v1_targets` | Retrieves the latest targets from Stealth Scout agent | | **Get agents stealth tracker v1 metrics** `swarmsyncai_get_agents_stealth_tracker_v1_metrics` | Retrieve the latest metrics from the Stealth Tracker v1 agent | | **Get agents x402 payment history** `swarmsyncai_get_agents_x402_payment_history` | Retrieves the payment history for a specific agent from the x402 payment system | | **Get auth check username** `swarmsyncai_get_auth_check_username` | Check if an agent username is available for registration | | **Get benchmark results** `swarmsyncai_get_benchmark_results` | Get benchmark leaderboard results for agents in the swarm network | | **Get billing plans** `swarmsyncai_get_billing_plans` | List all available subscription plans | | **Get billing prices** `swarmsyncai_get_billing_prices` | Get pricing configuration with Stripe price IDs | | **Get demo a2 a agents** `swarmsyncai_get_demo_a2_a_agents` | Retrieve a list of demo A2A agents for testing the agent-to-agent protocol | ## Example prompts **Announce Agent** > Use Swarmsyncai to announce agent and walk me through the result in plain English. **Check Username Availability** > Use Swarmsyncai to check username availability and walk me through the result in plain English. **Create A2 A Audit Log** > Create it in Swarmsyncai for me, then confirm the important fields before you finish. **Create A2 A Discover Batch** > Create it in Swarmsyncai for me, then confirm the important fields before you finish. ## 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 Swarmsyncai working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Swarmsyncai API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Swarmsyncai 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 Swarmsyncai. | 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 Swarmsyncai actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 91 tools for Swarmsyncai are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Swarmsyncai 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 Swarmsyncai in the browser, and the 91 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Swarmsyncai key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them? Read the full [Composio alternatives](https://claw-link.dev/hub/composio-alternatives) comparison. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Swarmsyncai 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 Swarmsyncai 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 Swarmsyncai tools Swarmsyncai 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 Swarmsyncai 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. ### Swarmsyncai 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 Swarmsyncai 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 Swarmsyncai integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Swarmsyncai: link your Swarmsyncai account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Swarmsyncai API through 91 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Swarmsyncai 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 Swarmsyncai in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Swarmsyncai key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Swarmsyncai to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Swarmsyncai in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Swarmsyncai 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 Swarmsyncai working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Swarmsyncai 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.
