SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the manual friction of connecting Render to a self-hosted Hermes agent, so the agent can manage hosting, services, cron jobs, and Postgres from a remote VPS with clear safeguards.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Render MCP wiring: Registers Render’s hosted MCP endpoint and configures bearer authentication for Hermes.
  • SSH-first deployment: Runs all operational steps on the VPS, keeping secrets local and avoiding local-machine setup drift.
  • Idempotent, rollback-safe setup: Checks whether Render is already connected, reloads the gateway correctly, and includes rollback steps if verification fails.
  • Use case: Connect a production Hermes instance to Render so the agent can list workspaces, select one, and start managing services without repeated manual setup.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to connect your Render account to the Hermes VPS by gathering the SSH details and Render API key, then register the hosted MCP server, reload the gateway, and verify the connection.

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

Connecting Render to Hermes over SSH requires gathering your VPS credentials and Render API key to register the hosted MCP endpoint, configure bearer authentication, reload the gateway, and verify the connection through API smoke tests.

What is the best way to deploy a Render MCP server on a remote VPS?▼

The best way to deploy a Render MCP server on a remote VPS is using an SSH-first approach that keeps secrets local, applies idempotent registration, and reloads the gateway safely.

Does Render MCP integration with Hermes support backend hosting and Postgres workflows?▼

Yes, Render MCP integration with Hermes supports selecting a workspace to manage backend hosting, static sites, cron jobs, and Postgres workflows directly from your remote VPS.

How do I securely store Render API keys when wiring Hermes to a remote server?▼

You securely store Render API keys when wiring Hermes by keeping secrets local on the VPS inside the ~/.hermes/.env file, ensuring sensitive data avoids local-machine setup drift.

Why is my Render MCP gateway not reloading after registering the hosted endpoint?▼

If your Render MCP gateway is not reloading, the setup includes rollback steps if verification fails. You must ensure idempotent registration checks whether Render is already connected before attempting a gateway reload.
