SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires mcp, node.js, uv, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The native-mcp Skill Unit eliminates the need for a separate bridge CLI by allowing you to directly use tools from MCP servers within the Hermes Agent.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tool Integration: Connect to and use tools from MCP servers as if they were built-in to Hermes Agent.
  • External Capabilities: Add external tools such as filesystem access, GitHub APIs, databases, etc., through MCP.
  • Quick Start: Configure MCP servers and discover available tools that can be injected into conversation tools for seamless integration.

Quick Start

Use the 'mcp_get_current_time' command to fetch the current time from an MCP server.

FAQPage Schema
How do I integrate external MCP server tools into my Hermes Agent?▼

To integrate external MCP server tools into your Hermes Agent, use native-mcp to connect directly via stdio or HTTP transports. It automates tool discovery and registration, eliminating the need for a separate bridge CLI.

How does stdio transport work for connecting MCP clients to an agent?▼

Stdio transport for MCP clients works by establishing direct connections between the Hermes Agent and MCP servers. The native-mcp skill handles server configuration, automates discovery, and registers available tools for immediate use in conversations.

Do I need Node.js and uv to use MCP server integration with Hermes?▼

Yes, you need Node.js and uv configured in your environment to support MCP server integration. These dependencies enable the native-mcp skill to handle stdio and HTTP transport connections, server configuration, and error scenarios.

Can I add external capabilities like filesystem access or GitHub APIs through MCP?▼

Yes, you can add external capabilities like filesystem access or GitHub APIs through MCP. The native-mcp skill connects your Hermes Agent to these external MCP servers, automatically discovering and registering their tools as built-in functions.

What is the difference between using native-mcp and a separate bridge CLI for tool integration?▼

The difference is that native-mcp eliminates the separate bridge CLI by allowing direct tool integration from MCP servers into the Hermes Agent. It manages HTTP and stdio transport connections internally, automating discovery and registration natively.

How do I configure MCP servers and discover available tools for my agent?▼

You configure MCP servers and discover available tools by using native-mcp commands like 'mcp_get_current_time'. The skill handles server configuration and automatically injects discovered external tools into your conversation tools.
