What problem does it solve? Manually wiring external tools into an AI agent requires custom bridge code and repetitive integration work. This Skill configures Hermes Agent's built-in MCP client so tools from any MCP server are discovered at startup and exposed as first-class callable tools. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Automatic Tool Discovery: Connects to configured MCP servers at startup, calls list_tools(), and registers each tool with an mcp_{server}{tool} naming prefix. - Dual Transport Support: Runs local stdio servers via npx or uvx commands, and connects to remote servers over HTTP/StreamableHTTP with custom headers. - Security Controls: Filters environment variables passed to subprocesses, redacts credential patterns from error messages, and supports per-server sampling limits. - Use Case: Add a GitHub MCP server with a personal access token to your config, restart the agent, and immediately ask it to list issues or create pull requests using the auto-registered mcp_github* tools. ## Quick Start Add an mcp_servers entry with a command and args to ~/.hermes/config.yaml, then restart the agent and ask it to use the newly available tools.
