SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill connects Microsoft Azure to a self-hosted Hermes agent so an AI coder can manage cloud resources without manual gateway wiring, repeated setup, or fragile one-off steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Azure service integration: Registers Microsoft's first-party Azure MCP server for access to resource groups, storage, Cosmos DB, Key Vault, and Monitor.
  • SSH-first deployment: Performs the setup on a remote VPS running Hermes, keeping secrets on the host and avoiding local workstation drift.
  • Idempotent and rollback-safe: Checks whether Azure is already wired, verifies the Hermes runtime, reloads the gateway correctly, and includes rollback instructions if validation fails.

Quick Start

Tell the agent to connect Azure to the remote Hermes host by collecting the service principal details, registering the Azure MCP server, reloading the gateway, and verifying that subscriptions can be listed successfully.

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

To connect Azure to Hermes, register Microsoft's first-party Azure MCP server over SSH on your remote VPS. This setup links resource groups, storage, Cosmos DB, Key Vault, and Monitor to the Hermes gateway for secure AI-driven cloud management.

What Azure resources can I manage through the Hermes MCP integration?

The Azure MCP integration supports managing resource groups, storage accounts, Cosmos DB, Key Vault, and Azure Monitor. It wires these Azure services directly into the Hermes runtime for seamless access across coding agents.

Do I need an Entra ID service principal to set up Azure MCP on a remote VPS?

Yes, an Entra ID service principal is required. You must configure AZURE_* environment variables on the remote host and perform stdio registration of the @azure/mcp server to authenticate the Hermes gateway with your Azure subscription.

Can I use the Azure Hermes integration with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Gemini CLI?

Yes, the Azure Hermes integration supports Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and Hermes. The SSH-first deployment registers the Azure MCP server centrally, allowing these coding agents to access cloud resources safely.

Is the Azure MCP setup process idempotent and rollback-safe if gateway verification fails?

Yes, the Azure MCP setup is idempotent and rollback-safe. It checks existing wiring, verifies the Hermes runtime, reloads the gateway correctly, and includes rollback instructions if subscription listing validation fails.

Why does my Azure MCP server require SSH deployment instead of local workstation setup?

SSH deployment on a remote VPS keeps Azure secrets on the host and avoids local workstation drift. This approach ensures the Hermes agent maintains consistent, secure cloud resource access without fragile local configurations.
