SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Hermes Agent gains seamless access to MCP servers by automatically discovering and registering their tools, enabling extended capabilities without manual wiring.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-discovery and registration of MCP tools at startup
  • Supports stdio and HTTP MCP transports
  • Tool names are prefixed as mcp_{server}_{tool} and injected into Hermes toolsets

Quick Start

Configure your Hermes environment with an MCP server entry in ~/.hermes/config.yaml under mcp_servers and restart Hermes to enable automatic discovery.

FAQPage Schema
How do I connect an MCP server to an agent for automatic tool discovery?

To connect an MCP server and enable automatic tool discovery, configure your server entry under mcp_servers in ~/.hermes/config.yaml and restart Hermes to trigger startup auto-registration of its tools.

Do I need to install the MCP SDK to register external tools with Hermes?

Yes, you need the optional MCP SDK installed to enable startup discovery and registration, allowing Hermes to extend its capabilities by automatically registering external MCP tools.

What transports are supported for MCP server integration in local agent deployments?

MCP server integration supports both stdio and HTTP transports, allowing local agent deployments to connect and automatically discover external capabilities across these communication channels.

How does automatic MCP tool registration work when extending agent capabilities?

Automatic MCP tool registration works by discovering tools at startup and injecting them into Hermes toolsets with names prefixed as mcp_{server}_{tool}, enabling extended capabilities without manual wiring.

Can I configure multiple MCP servers in config.yaml for tool auto-registration?

Yes, you can configure MCP server entries in ~/.hermes/config.yaml under mcp_servers, and upon restarting Hermes, each configured server will undergo automatic discovery and tool registration.

Why does my MCP server fail to register tools automatically on agent startup?

MCP server tool registration fails if the optional MCP SDK is missing or the server entry is incorrectly configured in ~/.hermes/config.yaml, preventing Hermes from completing startup discovery.
