# How to connect Synthflow AI to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 79 tools) > Connect Synthflow AI to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Synthflow AI key once and 79 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/synthflow-ai Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Synthflow AI 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 Synthflow AI setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Synthflow AI 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 Synthflow AI. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Synthflow AI** — 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 synthflow-ai # connect Synthflow AI (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions synthflow-ai # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run synthflow-ai --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 Synthflow AI in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Synthflow AI API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Use Synthflow AI to export analytics 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 Synthflow AI is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 79 Synthflow AI tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Synthflow AI to Hermes Agent and exposes 79 Synthflow AI 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 Synthflow AI integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/synthflow-ai) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Synthflow AI integration can do 79 Synthflow AI 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 79. ### 30 of 79 Synthflow AI tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Export analytics** `synthflow_ai_export_analytics` | Export analytics data for calls within a specified date range | | **Get action** `synthflow_ai_get_action` | Retrieve metadata about a specific action by its ID | | **Get assistant** `synthflow_ai_get_assistant` | Retrieve details of a specific AI assistant | | **Get call** `synthflow_ai_get_call` | Retrieve the transcript and detailed metadata for a specific phone call | | **Get contact** `synthflow_ai_get_contact` | Retrieve details of a specific contact by its ID | | **Get knowledge base** `synthflow_ai_get_knowledge_base` | Retrieve details of a specific knowledge base by its ID | | **Get memory store** `synthflow_ai_get_memory_store` | Retrieve details of a specific memory store by its ID | | **Get memory store contact data** `synthflow_ai_get_memory_store_contact_data` | Retrieve memory data for a specific contact in a memory store | | **Get numbers** `synthflow_ai_get_numbers` | Retrieve a list of phone numbers associated with a workspace | | **Get simulation** `synthflow_ai_get_simulation` | Retrieve details of a specific simulation by ID | | **Get simulation case** `synthflow_ai_get_simulation_case` | Retrieve a simulation case by ID | | **Get simulation scenario** `synthflow_ai_get_simulation_scenario` | Retrieve a simulation scenario by ID | | **Get simulation suite** `synthflow_ai_get_simulation_suite` | Retrieve a simulation suite by ID | | **Get subaccount** `synthflow_ai_get_subaccount` | Retrieve detailed metadata about a specific subaccount by ID | | **Get team** `synthflow_ai_get_team` | Retrieve details of a specific team by its ID | | **List actions** `synthflow_ai_list_actions` | List all actions in the workspace | | **List assistants** `synthflow_ai_list_assistants` | List all AI assistants associated with the account | | **List calls** `synthflow_ai_list_calls` | Retrieve call history (call logs) with filtering to check outcomes/statuses after placing calls | | **List chats** `synthflow_ai_list_chats` | Retrieve a list of chats, optionally filtered by agent ID | | **List contacts** `synthflow_ai_list_contacts` | Retrieve a list of contacts with optional search filtering | | **List memory stores** `synthflow_ai_list_memory_stores` | List memory stores with optional filtering by title | | **List phone books** `synthflow_ai_list_phone_books` | List all phone books in your workspace | | **List simulation cases** `synthflow_ai_list_simulation_cases` | List simulation cases with pagination and optional filtering by name or type | | **List simulation cases by agent** `synthflow_ai_list_simulation_cases_by_agent` | List all simulation cases created for a specific agent | | **List simulation scenarios** `synthflow_ai_list_simulation_scenarios` | List simulation scenarios with pagination and optional filtering | | **List simulation sessions** `synthflow_ai_list_simulation_sessions` | List simulation sessions with pagination and optional filters | | **List simulation suites** `synthflow_ai_list_simulation_suites` | List simulation suites with pagination and optional filtering | | **List simulations** `synthflow_ai_list_simulations` | List simulations with pagination and optional filters | | **List subaccounts** `synthflow_ai_list_subaccounts` | List all subaccounts associated with the authenticated account | | **List teams** `synthflow_ai_list_teams` | List assistant teams | ## Example prompts **Export Analytics** > Use Synthflow AI to export analytics and walk me through the result in plain English. **Get Action** > Pull the relevant data from Synthflow AI, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Assistant** > Pull the relevant data from Synthflow AI, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Call** > Pull the relevant data from Synthflow AI, 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 Synthflow AI working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Synthflow AI API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Synthflow AI 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 Synthflow AI. | 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 Synthflow AI actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 79 tools for Synthflow AI are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Synthflow AI 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 Synthflow AI in the browser, and the 79 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Synthflow AI 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 Synthflow AI 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 Synthflow AI 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 Synthflow AI tools Synthflow AI 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 Synthflow AI 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. ### Synthflow AI 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 Synthflow AI 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 Synthflow AI integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Synthflow AI: link your Synthflow AI account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Synthflow AI API through 79 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Synthflow AI 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 Synthflow AI in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Synthflow AI key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Synthflow AI to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Synthflow AI in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Synthflow AI 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 Synthflow AI working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Synthflow AI 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 - [Connect DataRobot](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/datarobot) — DataRobot is a machine learning platform that automates model building, deployment, and monitoring, enabling organizations to derive predictive insights from large datasets. - [Hermes Chatbotkit integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/chatbotkit) — ChatBotKit is a platform that enables developers to build and manage AI-powered chatbots, offering comprehensive APIs and SDKs for seamless integration into applications. - [Hermes Just One API integration](https://claw-link.dev/hermes/just-one-api) — Just One API provides unified access to public social media, creator, entertainment, and ecommerce data across hundreds of metered endpoints.
