FAQPage Schema

How do I integrate external MCP servers for tool access in Hermes Agent?▼

To integrate external MCP servers, you add the server details in the `~/.hermes/config.yaml` file and restart Hermes Agent. This triggers the automated discovery and registration of available external tools for immediate use.

What is automated tool discovery for Model Context Protocol servers?▼

Automated tool discovery is the process of identifying and registering external tools provided by MCP servers. Once connected, the system automatically configures these tools, enabling capabilities like filesystem access and database querying without manual setup.

Can I use MCP tools for filesystem access and API interactions with Hermes Agent?▼

Yes, you can use MCP tools for filesystem access and API interactions. By connecting your Hermes Agent to external MCP servers, you automatically gain access to these external capabilities for your workflows.

Do I need to manually configure each external tool from an MCP server?▼

No, manual configuration of each external tool is not needed. The native-mcp skill automates server connectivity and tool auto-discovery, allowing you to bypass cumbersome manual setup and directly use the integrated tools.

Why does my Hermes Agent not see new tools after adding an MCP server?▼

If new tools are not visible, ensure you have correctly added the server details in `~/.hermes/config.yaml` and completely restarted Hermes Agent. The auto-discovery process initiates upon a successful restart to register the external tools.
