SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill connects Zoho CRM to a self-hosted Hermes agent so an AI coding agent can access CRM data and run integrations without manual reconfiguration on every machine.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • SSH-first deployment: Writes configuration on the VPS, validates the Hermes runtime, and reloads the gateway in the correct sequence.
  • Two supported auth paths: Uses Zoho's hosted MCP connection flow when available, or a refresh-token OAuth bridge when MCP is not an option.
  • Region-aware validation: Detects the Zoho data center and prevents mismatched .com, .eu, .in, .com.au, or .jp setups from breaking silently.
  • Safety and rollback: Stores secrets in the Hermes env file, enforces permissions, verifies the integration live, and removes partial config if anything fails.
  • Use case: A team can wire leads, contacts, deals, and custom modules into Hermes once, then let the agent query CRM data or operate integrations repeatedly without rebuilding the setup.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to connect Zoho CRM to your Hermes VPS using either the Zoho MCP URL or OAuth credentials and verify the integration end to end.

FAQPage Schema
How do I connect Zoho CRM to a self-hosted Hermes agent over SSH?▼

To connect Zoho CRM to a self-hosted Hermes agent over SSH, the Skill writes configuration directly on the VPS, validates the Hermes runtime, and reloads the gateway in the correct sequence to establish secure access.

What is the best way to handle Zoho CRM region validation for an AI coding agent?▼

Zoho CRM region validation detects your specific data center, preventing mismatched .com, .eu, .in, .com.au, or .jp setups from breaking silently during AI agent integration and lead management operations.

Does the Zoho CRM Hermes integration support both MCP and OAuth REST bridging?▼

Yes, the Zoho CRM Hermes integration supports Zoho's hosted MCP connection flow when available, and falls back to a refresh-token OAuth bridge when MCP is not an option for REST API bridging.

How do I safely store Zoho CRM secrets for an unattended AI coding agent?▼

You safely store Zoho CRM secrets for unattended AI coding agents by placing them in the Hermes env file at ~/.hermes/.env, which enforces strict permissions and supports rollback-safe recovery if verification fails.

What happens if the Zoho CRM gateway reload sequence fails during setup?▼

If the Zoho CRM gateway reload sequence fails during setup, the integration enforces rollback-safe recovery by automatically removing partial configuration and verifying the integration live to prevent broken states.
