SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Hermes Agent needs a way to connect to external MCP servers, discover their tools, and register them as native Hermes tools to avoid manual integration and to broaden capabilities.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Built-in MCP client that discovers MCP tools at startup and registers them in Hermes' tool registry.
  • Automatic tool registration with consistent naming across servers (mcp_{server}_{tool}).
  • Supports stdio and HTTP transports with automatic reconnects, security filtering, and zero-config tool injection.
  • Use cases include adding external capabilities (filesystem, APIs, CI tools) via MCP and enabling cross-server tool availability in all conversations.

Quick Start

Configure MCP servers in your ~/.hermes/config.yaml under mcp_servers and restart Hermes Agent to begin tool discovery.

Frequently Asked Questions about native-mcp

FAQPage Schema
How do I auto-discover and register MCP server tools in Hermes Agent?▼

To auto-discover MCP server tools, configure your MCP servers in the ~/.hermes/config.yaml file under mcp_servers and restart Hermes Agent. The built-in client connects at startup to register tools automatically using the mcp_{server}_{tool} naming convention.

What transports are supported for connecting to MCP servers?▼

MCP server connections support both stdio and HTTP transports. The integration includes automatic reconnects to maintain persistent tool availability and ensure reliable cross-server communication across all platforms without manual intervention.

Does MCP tool integration require manual configuration for each tool?▼

No, MCP tool integration uses zero-config tool injection. Once servers are specified in the Hermes config, security filtering and autonomous tool discovery handle the registration, eliminating the need for manual tool integration.

Can I add external filesystem and API capabilities to Hermes Agent via MCP?▼

Yes, you can add external capabilities such as filesystem access, APIs, and CI tools via MCP servers. This enables cross-server tool availability, broadening Hermes Agent's capabilities in all conversations without manual integration.

How does security filtering work for auto-registered MCP tools?▼

Security filtering is enforced during the zero-config tool injection process. It evaluates discovered MCP tools at startup to ensure only authorized and safe tools are registered as native Hermes Agent tools in the tool registry.
