What problem does it solve?
This Skill connects to external MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, discovers their tools, and integrates them as native Hermes Agent tools, enabling the use of external capabilities like filesystem access, GitHub, and databases directly within the Hermes Agent.
Core Features & Use Cases
- External Tool Integration: Connect to and utilize tools from external MCP servers.
- Stdio and HTTP Transports: Supports both stdio (command-based) and HTTP (url-based) transports for server connections.
- Automatic Reconnection: Handles automatic reconnection to servers for continuous operation.
- Security and Filtering: Implements security measures and filtering to ensure safe tool injection.
- Use Case: Integrate a remote API into the Hermes Agent for accessing external data and services without additional setup.
Quick Start
Add the following server configuration to ~/.hermes/config.yaml and restart Hermes Agent:
mcp_servers:
external_api:
command: "npx"
args: ["-y", "remote-api-server"]
