Nous Hermes#

Connect ClipKit to Hermes — Nous Research's open-source agent (terminal app + Hermes Desktop) — whose built-in MCP client auto-loads tools from configured servers at startup.

ClipKit's connector is open (no key) and speaks Streamable HTTP at https://www.clipkit.dev/mcp.

Add the connector#

CLI:

hermes mcp add clipkit --url https://www.clipkit.dev/mcp

Or in config.yaml:

mcp_servers:
  clipkit:
    url: "https://www.clipkit.dev/mcp"
    # no headers needed — open, no-auth server

Verify#

Run /mcp in a Hermes session (or hermes mcp list) — clipkit should show as connected with its tools. Then ask the agent to use one.

Notes#

  • Transport is inferred, not declared — a url field means an HTTP server. Don't add a transport: / type: key, and don't point it at a /sse path (ClipKit's legacy SSE stream is disabled). Use the plain /mcp URL.
  • No auth — leave headers out.
