Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Hermes Agent MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

Claude Code Claude Desktop Codex Cursor VS Code

run in your terminal

claude mcp add hermes-agent-mcp -- uvx hermes-agent-mcp

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hermes-agent-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "hermes-agent-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

~/.codex/config.toml

[mcp_servers.hermes-agent-mcp]
command = "uvx"
args = ["hermes-agent-mcp"]

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hermes-agent-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "hermes-agent-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hermes-agent-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "hermes-agent-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: HERMES_HOME (Hermes data directory (default ~/.hermes)), HERMES_MCP_ALLOW_WRITE (Allow state-changing tools (default 1)), HERMES_MCP_ALLOW_SHELL (Enable the shell tool (default 0)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Hermes Agent MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Hermes Agent MCP?

Hermes Agent MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package hermes-agent-mcp.

How do I connect Hermes Agent MCP?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls hermes-agent-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

Is Hermes Agent MCP open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
