SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Hermes Agent lacks native integration with MCP servers to discover and expose external tools. Native MCP Client bridges this gap by connecting to MCP servers at startup, discovering their tools, and registering them as first-class Hermes tools.

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, security filtering, and zero-config tool injection.
  • Use Case: Integrate external services (e.g., time servers, file systems, GitHub) via MCP and invoke their tools within any conversation.

Quick Start

Configure your environment by adding mcp_servers to ~/.hermes/config.yaml, then restart Hermes to auto-discover MCP tools and inject them into all toolsets.
