# How to connect Upload to URL to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 5 tools) > Connect Upload to URL to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Upload to URL key once and 5 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine. Web version: https://claw-link.dev/hermes/upload-to-url Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Upload to URL 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 Upload to URL setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Upload to URL 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 Upload to URL. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Upload to URL** — 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 upload-to-url # connect Upload to URL (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions upload-to-url # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run upload-to-url --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 Upload to URL in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Upload to URL API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Pull the relevant data from Upload to URL, 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 Upload to URL is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 5 Upload to URL tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Upload to URL to Hermes Agent and exposes 5 Upload to URL 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 Upload to URL integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/upload-to-url) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Upload to URL integration can do 5 Upload to URL tools are ready for Hermes Agent once the account is connected. The 4 below are the ones people reach for most; your agent can call all 5. ### 4 of 5 Upload to URL tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get file metadata** `upload_to_url_get_file_metadata` | Retrieve current metadata and the public CDN URL for a file previously uploaded by the | | **Get supported formats** `upload_to_url_get_supported_formats` | Return the file extensions Upload to URL accepts or blocks, current plan size limits, and | | **Publish HTML** `upload_to_url_publish_html` | Publish raw HTML at a public URL under a chosen page path | | **Upload file** `upload_to_url_upload_file` | Upload one file and return its public CDN URL, file ID, expiration, and remaining monthly | ## Example prompts **Get File Metadata** > Pull the relevant data from Upload to URL, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Get Supported Formats** > Pull the relevant data from Upload to URL, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Publish Html** > Use Upload to URL to publish html and walk me through the result in plain English. **Upload File** > Use Upload to URL to upload file and walk me through the result in plain English. ## 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 Upload to URL working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Upload to URL API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Upload to URL 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 Upload to URL. | 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 Upload to URL actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 5 tools for Upload to URL are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Upload to URL 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 Upload to URL in the browser, and the 5 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Upload to URL 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 Upload to URL 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 Upload to URL tools Upload to URL 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 Upload to URL 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. ### Upload to URL 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 Upload to URL 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 Upload to URL integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Upload to URL: link your Upload to URL account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Upload to URL API through 5 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Upload to URL 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 Upload to URL in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Upload to URL key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Upload to URL to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Upload to URL in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Upload to URL 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 Upload to URL working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Upload to URL 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 tools](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.
