# How to connect Veryfi OCR to Hermes Agent (paste one key, 5 tools) > Connect Veryfi OCR to Hermes with ClawLink: paste your Veryfi OCR 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/veryfi Most guides for giving Hermes Agent Veryfi OCR 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 Veryfi OCR setup: pair once in the browser and your always-on Hermes agent can act on Veryfi OCR 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 Veryfi OCR. 1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to Hermes Agent once. 2. **Connect Veryfi OCR** — 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 veryfi # connect Veryfi OCR (browser OAuth) npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions veryfi # list available actions npx -y @useclawlink/cli run veryfi --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 Veryfi OCR in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — paste your Veryfi OCR API key once. Verify the connection by asking Hermes: > Pull the relevant data from Veryfi OCR, 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 Veryfi OCR is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 5 Veryfi OCR tools over MCP.

ClawLink connects Veryfi OCR to Hermes Agent and exposes 5 Veryfi OCR 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 Veryfi OCR integration](https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/veryfi) works the same way. ## What the Hermes Agent Veryfi OCR integration can do 5 Veryfi OCR 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 Veryfi OCR tools for Hermes | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Get document** `veryfi_get_document` | Retrieve one processed receipt or invoice and all extracted OCR fields by its Veryfi document ID | | **Search documents** `veryfi_search_documents` | List or search processed receipts and invoices using text, identifiers, tags, status, or date | | **Process document** `veryfi_process_document` | Submit one receipt or invoice to Veryfi OCR by public URL or base64 content | | **Update document** `veryfi_update_document` | Correct practical metadata and review flags on a processed receipt or invoice | ## Example prompts **Get Document** > Pull the relevant data from Veryfi OCR, summarize it in plain English, and point out anything that needs attention. **Search Documents** > Search Veryfi OCR for what I need, summarize the results, and tell me the next best action. **Process Document** > Use Veryfi OCR to process document and walk me through the result in plain English. **Update Document** > Update it in Veryfi OCR, then show me exactly what changed. ## 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 Veryfi OCR working from chat. | | Manual | ClawLink | |---|---|---| | **Credential handling** | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Veryfi OCR API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Veryfi OCR 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 Veryfi OCR. | 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 Veryfi OCR actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 5 tools for Veryfi OCR are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. | ## ClawLink vs. Composio Composio also exposes Veryfi OCR 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 Veryfi OCR in the browser, and the 5 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Veryfi OCR 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 Veryfi OCR 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 Veryfi OCR tools Veryfi OCR 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 Veryfi OCR 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. ### Veryfi OCR 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 Veryfi OCR 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 Veryfi OCR integration? Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect Hermes to Veryfi OCR: link your Veryfi OCR account once in the browser and Hermes Agent can call the Veryfi OCR API through 5 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling. ### How do I connect Veryfi OCR 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 Veryfi OCR in the dashboard and Hermes can use it from the next message — no config files, and the Veryfi OCR key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment. ### How long does it take to connect Veryfi OCR to Hermes Agent? About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Veryfi OCR in the dashboard, authenticate, and Hermes Agent can use it from the next chat message. ### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Veryfi OCR 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 Veryfi OCR working from chat. ### Hermes paired but still can't use Veryfi OCR 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 - [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. - [Connect Chatbotkit](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. - [Just One API tools](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.
