SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill allows users to connect to MCP servers and utilize their tools directly within the Hermes Agent, enhancing the agent's capabilities without the need for an additional bridge CLI.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • MCP Server Connectivity: Connect to and manage multiple MCP servers from within Hermes Agent.
  • Tool Discovery and Registration: Automatically discover and register tools from MCP servers for immediate use.
  • Use Case: For instance, use the native-mcp skill to connect to a time server to get the current time without leaving the Hermes Agent interface.

Quick Start

Add the MCP server to your ~/.hermes/config.yaml and restart Hermes Agent. Use the mcp_time_get_current_time tool to get the current time.

Frequently Asked Questions about native-mcp

FAQPage Schema
How do I connect to MCP servers within the Hermes Agent?▼

To connect to MCP servers within the Hermes Agent, add the server configuration to your ~/.hermes/config.yaml file and restart Hermes Agent. This enables direct tool access without requiring an additional bridge CLI.

What transports are supported for MCP server connectivity?▼

MCP server connectivity supports both stdio and HTTP transports. This allows flexible integration depending on your server type and network requirements during tool discovery and registration.

Do I need Node.js or uv to use MCP tools with Hermes Agent?▼

You need the mcp Python package for MCP server connectivity, and Node.js or uv are required for certain server types. These dependencies enable tool discovery and registration within Hermes Agent.

How does tool discovery work when integrating MCP servers?▼

Tool discovery automatically identifies and registers tools from connected MCP servers for immediate use. Once registered, you can directly invoke these tools, like calling mcp_time_get_current_time to retrieve the current time.

Can I manage multiple MCP servers from a single Hermes Agent interface?▼

Yes, you can connect to and manage multiple MCP servers from within the Hermes Agent. This enhances agent capabilities by aggregating various external tools without needing a bridge CLI.

Why use native-mcp instead of a bridge CLI for server connectivity?▼

Using native-mcp for server connectivity eliminates the need for an additional bridge CLI. It directly integrates MCP server tools into the Hermes Agent, streamlining automation workflows and tool access.
