To connect Hermes Agent to MCP servers, configure the connection settings and restart the agent. The native MCP client automatically establishes connections over stdio or HTTP transports and registers available tools.

Automatic MCP tool discovery is the process of identifying and registering external tools from MCP servers as native Hermes tools. It runs on startup and on-demand when new servers join, applying security filtering before zero-config tool injection into Hermes toolsets.

Yes, you can use both stdio and HTTP transports to integrate external MCP servers. The skill supports both transport protocols with automatic reconnection to ensure persistent background connections and reliable tool accessibility.

MCP tools are named using the mcp_{server}_{tool} naming convention when injected into Hermes Agent toolsets. This ensures clear identification and immediate accessibility across all native toolsets without manual configuration.

No, you do not need to manually configure tools discovered from MCP servers. The skill provides zero-config tool injection, automatically applying security filtering and registering all discovered tools directly into all Hermes toolsets.
