# How to connect Typefully to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 16 tools) > Connect Typefully to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Typefully key once and 16 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/typefully Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Typefully 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 Typefully setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Typefully 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 Typefully. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Typefully** — 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 typefully # connect Typefully (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions typefully # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run typefully --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 Typefully in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Typefully API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Pull the relevant data from Typefully, 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 Typefully is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 16 Typefully tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Typefully to Hermes Agent and exposes 16 Typefully 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 Typefully integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/typefully) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Typefully integration can do 16 Typefully tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. The 15 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 16. ### 15 of 16 Typefully tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get current user** `typefully_get_current_user` | Get the current authenticated user's information | | **Get draft** `typefully_get_draft` | Retrieves a single draft by its ID with full details including platform-specific content, tags | | **Get media status** `typefully_get_media_status` | Check the processing status of an uploaded media file | | **Get queue** `typefully_get_queue` | Get the scheduled content queue for a social set within a date range | | **Get queue schedule** `typefully_get_queue_schedule` | Get the queue schedule configuration for a social set, including posting slots and timezone | | **Get social set** `typefully_get_social_set` | Get detailed information about a specific social set, including all connected platforms (X | | **List drafts** `typefully_list_drafts` | List drafts for a social set with filtering and sorting options | | **List social sets** `typefully_list_social_sets` | List all social sets (groups of connected platform accounts) accessible to the authenticated | | **List tags** `typefully_list_tags` | List all tags for a social set | | **Resolve linked in organization** `typefully_resolve_linked_in_organization` | Resolve a LinkedIn organization from its public URL | | **Create draft** `typefully_create_draft` | Create a new draft with platform-specific content for multi-platform publishing | | **Create tag** `typefully_create_tag` | Creates a new tag for organizing drafts within a social set in Typefully | | **Initialize media upload** `typefully_initialize_media_upload` | Initializes a media upload by returning a presigned URL | | **Update draft** `typefully_update_draft` | Update an existing draft with partial update semantics | | **Update queue schedule** `typefully_update_queue_schedule` | Replace the queue schedule configuration for a social set | ## Example prompts **Get Current User** > Pull the relevant data from Typefully, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Draft** > Pull the relevant data from Typefully, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Media Status** > Pull the relevant data from Typefully, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Queue** > Pull the relevant data from Typefully, 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 Typefully working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Typefully API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Typefully 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 Typefully. | 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 Typefully actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 16 tools for Typefully are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Typefully 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 Typefully in the browser, and the 16 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Typefully 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 Typefully 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 Typefully 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 Typefully tools Typefully 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 Typefully 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. ### Typefully 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 Typefully 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 Typefully integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Typefully: link your Typefully account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Typefully API through 16 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Typefully 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 Typefully in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Typefully key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Typefully to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Typefully in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Typefully 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 Typefully working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Typefully 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.
