Connect Hermes Agent

Configure the Hermes installation that runs your agent. A desktop app, CLI, or messaging gateway must read the same configuration and credentials.

Configure and sign in

Merge this into ~/.hermes/config.yaml:

mcp_servers:
  openpost:
    url: "https://app.openpo.st/mcp"
    auth: oauth

Then authenticate and test:

hermes mcp login openpost
hermes mcp test openpost

Complete the browser consent. Choose read-only access for inspection or full access for changes. Restart the agent session or use /reload-mcp to refresh its tools.

Check the connection

Ask, “List my OpenPost workspaces,” then name one and request its scheduled publications. If Hermes does not see the tools, run the connection test again and check whether the server is enabled.

Remote gateways

Authenticate as the operating-system user running the gateway. Otherwise the agent may not find your saved credentials. On SSH or a headless host, follow Hermes' remote OAuth guide to complete the browser callback.
