Hermes Agent is an AI assistant that learns from its use by creating and improving skills, retaining knowledge, searching past conversations, and adapting to its users. It is for people who want to run an agent through a terminal or messaging platforms while connecting it to different AI models and scheduled tasks.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00016 | $0.00791 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00396 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00158 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00079 |
Grade A, and why
mcporter 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 4d 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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 124 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
mcporter
Use mcporter to discover, call, and manage MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and tools directly from the terminal.
Prerequisites
Requires Node.js:
# No install needed (runs via npx)
npx mcporter list
# Or install globally
npm install -g mcporter
Quick Start
# List MCP servers already configured on this machine
mcporter list
# List tools for a specific server with schema details
mcporter list <server> --schema
# Call a tool
mcporter call <server.tool> key=value
Discovering MCP Servers
mcporter auto-discovers servers configured by other MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) on the machine. To find new servers to use, browse registries like mcpfinder.dev or mcp.so, then connect ad-hoc:
# Connect to any MCP server by URL (no config needed)
mcporter list --http-url https://some-mcp-server.com --name my_server
# Or run a stdio server on the fly
mcporter list --stdio "npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem" --name fs
Calling Tools
# Key=value syntax
mcporter call linear.list_issues team=ENG limit:5
# Function syntax
mcporter call "linear.create_issue(title: \"Bug fix needed\")"
# Ad-hoc HTTP server (no config needed)
mcporter call https://api.example.com/mcp.fetch url=https://example.com
# Ad-hoc stdio server
mcporter call --stdio "bun run ./server.ts" scrape url=https://example.com
# JSON payload
mcporter call <server.tool> --args '{"limit": 5}'
# Machine-readable output (recommended for Hermes)
mcporter call <server.tool> key=value --output json
Auth and Config
# OAuth login for a server
mcporter auth <server | url> [--reset]
# Manage config
mcporter config list
mcporter config get <key>
mcporter config add <server>
mcporter config remove <server>
mcporter config import <path>
Config file location: ./config/mcporter.json (override with --config).
Daemon
For persistent server connections:
mcporter daemon start
mcporter daemon status
mcporter daemon stop
mcporter daemon restart
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.

mcporter is a skill published in the GitHub repository NousResearch/hermes-agent (242,093 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 791 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
