otg-mcp

otg-mcp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MilkyWay008/Hermes-OTG. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,825 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for managing MCP servers in an OTG Hermes portable package. MCP servers are local programs that give an agent extra tools, while OTG Hermes can run from drives with changing letters.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding, configuring, or troubleshooting an MCP server on OTG Hermes, including errors such as a failed uv trampoline or paths still pointing to another computer.
Why use it?
It helps fix setups that break when the portable package moves between drives, including invalid virtual-environment paths and servers that fail to load.

Which agent this was written for is unclear — built for hermes-agent. Also seen: built for hermes-agent.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is command: ../mcp_servers/<name>/.venv/Scripts/python.exe.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

otg-mcp scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

MCP Server Management on OTG Hermes

Trigger: any MCP server install/configure/troubleshoot on an OTG (portable, USB) Hermes package — adding a server to config.yaml, fixing "uv trampoline failed", fixing "home points to C:\Users..." in pyvenv.cfg, or MCP tools not loading after the package moved to a different drive.

Mental model

OTG Hermes is a self-contained portable bundle. It carries its own real CPython at <OTG_ROOT>\dependencies\python\ and one venv per MCP server under <OTG_ROOT>\mcp_servers\<name>\.venv\. Everything must stay relative to OTG_ROOT because the drive letter changes between insertions (E:, D:, I:, ...). Venvs built with uv embed the build machine's paths and ship 45 KB trampoline stubs — both break the moment the package moves.

HARD RULES

  • NEVER use system python or system uv to create/repair OTG venvs. Only <OTG_ROOT>\dependencies\python\python.exe (the bundled real CPython 3.12).
  • NEVER hardcode drive letters in config.yaml, pyvenv.cfg, or commands.
  • NEVER point config.yaml command: at a venv .exe entry point (uv trampoline) — use python -m with the module instead.
  • ALWAYS let fix-otg-paths handle path portability — it runs on every launch; never hand-edit pyvenv.cfg on the target machine.

Resolving OTG paths at runtime

  • echo $HERMES_HOME<OTG_ROOT>\data\ (note the trailing backslash)
  • dirname "$HERMES_HOME"<OTG_ROOT> — the OTG package root

What fix-otg-paths does (runs on every launch, idempotent)

  • rewrites each venv's pyvenv.cfg home = line to the CURRENT <OTG_ROOT>\dependencies\python
  • de-trampolines Scripts\python.exe / pythonw.exe: copies the real bundled python.exe + DLLs beside them; original stub kept as *.uv-orig
  • re-scans mcp_servers\*\.venv\pyvenv.cfg for NEW venvs and auto-registers them (so user-installed servers are picked up without a manifest edit)
  • manifest: <OTG_ROOT>\dependencies\scripts\fix-otg-paths.json
  • zero writes when nothing changed (fast path)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

otg-mcp is a skill published in the GitHub repository MilkyWay008/Hermes-OTG (15 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 1,825 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
