SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill connects GitHub to a self-hosted Hermes agent so an AI coding assistant can work with repositories, issues, pull requests, and CI without manual setup friction.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Remote MCP Integration: Uses GitHub's first-party remote MCP server to expose GitHub capabilities to headless agents.
  • SSH-First Deployment: Runs on the user's VPS through SSH, keeping the workflow server-side and deterministic.
  • Safe Operations: Includes idempotency checks, dry-run previews, secure token handling, gateway reloads, and rollback steps.
  • Use Case: An AI agent can be granted GitHub access to inspect code, triage issues, review pull requests, and interact with workflows from Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, or Hermes itself.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to connect GitHub to your Hermes VPS by collecting the SSH details and personal access token, then registering the remote MCP server, reloading the gateway, and verifying the connection.

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

Connecting GitHub to a self-hosted Hermes agent involves using SSH to register GitHub's first-party remote MCP server on your VPS, configuring a personal access token, and reloading the Hermes gateway to enable repository, issue, and pull request access.

What can an AI coding agent do with GitHub MCP integration?▼

GitHub MCP integration allows headless AI coding agents to inspect repository code, triage issues, review pull requests, and interact with CI workflows directly from server-side deterministic environments like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Gemini CLI.

Do I need a GitHub personal access token to wire GitHub into Hermes?▼

Yes, wiring GitHub into Hermes requires a GitHub personal access token (PAT) for authentication. The PAT allows the remote MCP server to securely access your repositories, issues, and pull request workflows.

Is it safe to automate GitHub repository operations through a remote MCP server?▼

Automating GitHub repository operations through a remote MCP server is safe when using idempotency checks, dry-run previews, secure token handling, and rollback steps, which ensure deterministic and reversible server-side execution.

Can I use Hermes MCP integration with headless AI coding agents like Codex or Cursor?▼

Yes, Hermes MCP integration supports headless AI coding agents like Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and Gemini CLI, granting them GitHub access to triage issues and review pull requests without manual setup friction.
