FAQPage Schema
How do I connect an MCP server to an agent for external tool integration?▼

You can connect an MCP server by adding its configuration to the `~/.hermes/config.yaml` file and restarting the agent. This enables tool discovery and integrates external services directly into your conversations.

What transport types are supported for Model Context Protocol server connections?▼

Model Context Protocol server connections support both local stdio and remote HTTP or StreamableHTTP transport types. This allows you to run local servers or connect to remote services using either standard.

Do I need Python and Node.js to use MCP servers with my agent?▼

Python and Node.js are required to use certain Model Context Protocol server types within the agent. These dependencies provide the runtime environment needed to execute specific server scripts and integrate their tools.

Are tools from external MCP servers automatically available in conversations?▼

Yes, tools from connected Model Context Protocol servers are automatically discovered and registered. They become available in every conversation without requiring manual imports, adding capabilities like filesystem access and database queries.

What happens if a tool discovery request fails when connecting to an MCP server?▼

The connection handles tool discovery failures using built-in error handling and retry logic. This ensures the agent attempts to recover from transient issues when registering external Model Context Protocol tools.
