SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

MCP tool ecosystems are difficult to access from Hermes without custom glue; this skill provides a built-in client that automatically discovers and registers tools from MCP servers, enabling seamless tool usage within Hermes Agent.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-discovery of MCP tools on startup and automatic registration into Hermes toolsets.
  • Support for stdio and HTTP transports with automatic reconnection and security filtering.
  • Use cases include integrating filesystem, time, GitHub, or custom MCP servers directly into Hermes conversations.

Quick Start

Launch Hermes Agent with MCP servers configured; the agent will discover available MCP tools and inject them into all Hermes toolsets.

FAQPage Schema
How do I expose MCP server tools as native tools in Hermes?

MCP tools are exposed in Hermes through an auto-discovery mechanism that connects to configured MCP servers on startup. It automatically registers their tools into Hermes toolsets, allowing seamless integration of filesystem, time, or custom servers into conversations.

What transports does Hermes MCP integration support for connecting to servers?

Hermes MCP integration supports both stdio and HTTP server transports. It manages connections with automatic reconnection and applies security filtering to ensure safe tool discovery and registration across startup, runtime sessions, and development environments.

Do I need custom glue code to integrate MCP servers into Hermes Agent?

No, you do not need custom glue code to integrate MCP servers. This capability provides a built-in client that handles startup discovery, auto-registration, and secure transport handling, eliminating the need for manual integration code within Hermes.

When does Hermes discover and register MCP tools?

Hermes discovers and registers MCP tools during Agent startup. Once the MCP servers are configured, the tools are automatically injected into all Hermes toolsets, making them immediately available for use across runtime sessions and development environments.

Can I use filesystem and GitHub MCP servers directly in Hermes conversations?

Yes, you can use filesystem, GitHub, time, or custom MCP servers directly in Hermes conversations. By configuring these MCP servers, their tools are automatically discovered and injected into your Hermes toolsets for immediate conversational use.
