SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Hermes Agent can connect to external MCP servers, automatically discovering their tools and registering them as native Hermes tools for seamless access across conversations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic MCP server discovery on startup and when config changes.
  • Support for stdio and HTTP MCP transports with secure, filtered environments.
  • Zero-config tool injection into all Hermes platform toolsets for immediate availability.
  • Use cases include integrating external capabilities (filesystem, GitHub, databases) via MCP and expanding agent tooling.

Quick Start

Configure MCP servers in ~/.hermes/config.yaml and restart Hermes to auto-discover MCP tools and register them as first-class Hermes tools.

FAQPage Schema
How do I connect an MCP server to my agent and auto-register tools?

Hermes supports both stdio and HTTP transports for connecting to MCP servers. It automatically discovers MCP tools on startup or when the config changes and registers them as first-class native Hermes tools for seamless integration across conversations.

Does MCP server discovery support stdio and HTTP transports?

Yes, MCP server discovery supports both stdio and HTTP transports. It operates with secure, filtered environments to prevent sensitive data exposure and maintains connections with automatic reconnection support when network issues occur.

How do I configure Hermes to discover external MCP tools?

No coding is required for tool injection. Hermes provides zero-config tool injection, meaning all discovered MCP tools are automatically made available across all Hermes platform toolsets immediately after the server connects and registers them.

What security measures apply when connecting to external MCP servers?

When connecting to external MCP servers, the system applies secure, filtered environments to prevent sensitive data leakage. This ensures that external capabilities like filesystem or database integrations are registered safely without exposing sensitive configuration data.
