Hermes setup

Connect Hermes to ClawLink, approve pairing, and start using hosted integrations

ClawLink also works with Hermes. The flow is the same at a high level: install the ClawLink plugin, approve the browser pairing flow, then connect the apps you want from the dashboard.

Install the plugin, pair the device, then connect apps:

Install the plugin

hermes plugins install ClawLink-HQ/hermes-plugin --enable

Start pairing

hermes clawlink begin

This prints a browser approval link.

Approve in your browser

Open the link and approve the device.

Finish setup

hermes clawlink finish
hermes clawlink test

test confirms ClawLink is ready.

Connect your first app

In Dashboard > Connections, click Add connection and complete the hosted flow for Gmail, Slack, Notion, Stripe, or any other app you want Hermes to use.

Ask Hermes to use the connected app

Once the connection is ready, Hermes can call the app tools directly from chat.

You can also hand the whole flow to Hermes as one prompt — Dashboard > Install has a copyable version. Not using Hermes? See Install ClawLink for the agent-agnostic CLI and the OpenClaw plugin.

Good first tasks

  • Draft and send Gmail replies
  • Create or update calendar events
  • Search Notion pages and databases
  • Create GitHub issues
  • Pull customer data from Stripe or HubSpot

Notes

  • If the plugin was just installed and Hermes cannot see the ClawLink tools yet, restart the session and retry the setup prompt.
  • Browser pairing is the preferred flow. You should not need to move raw provider credentials through chat.
  • Your connected apps live on your ClawLink account, so you can reuse them across supported agent clients.

The dashboard install prompt is the source of truth for the exact Hermes bootstrap steps because it is updated alongside the product.
