FAQPage Schema
How do I connect to an MCP server and use its tools within Hermes Agent?▼

To connect to an MCP server within Hermes Agent, add the server configuration to ~/.hermes/config.yaml and restart Hermes Agent. The Skill uses Python's mcp package to establish HTTP or stdio connections, automatically discovering and registering server-provided tools for direct invocation.

What is MCP server tool discovery and how does auto-registration work?▼

MCP server tool discovery is the process of automatically identifying tools provided by a connected MCP server. Once a connection is established via HTTP or stdio, the Skill auto-registers these tools, making them directly available for invocation within Hermes Agent.

Does this MCP integration support both HTTP and stdio server connections?▼

Yes, this MCP integration supports both HTTP and stdio server connections. It relies on Python's mcp package to handle the underlying communication protocols, allowing Hermes Agent to connect to either server type for tool access.

Do I need a bridge CLI to use MCP server tools in Hermes Agent?▼

No, you do not need a bridge CLI to use MCP server tools in Hermes Agent. This Skill provides seamless integration by connecting directly to MCP servers, eliminating the need for an external bridge CLI for administrative workflows.

When do I need to use an MCP server connection for automation workflows?▼

You need an MCP server connection for automation workflows requiring server-side tool access, such as filesystem operations. This Skill enables administrative workflows by allowing Hermes Agent to directly invoke tools provided by the connected MCP server.
