hermes-gpt

Use it when

• You want ChatGPT or Codex to operate a local Hermes Agent install (files, skills, cron jobs, gateway) over MCP without granting unrestricted write or shell access
• You need mutation gating for agent tools: read-only by default, dry-run plans before any write, tiered operator levels, and a JSONL audit log that never records raw prompts or secrets

What it solves

Not the fit when

• Environments without a local Hermes Agent install (it imports Hermes internals at runtime)
• Public or remote deployment without VPN/Tailscale/OAuth (no built-in authentication)
• Sandboxing untrusted input - the operator gates are defense-in-depth, not a security boundary
• auth-wall-session
• multi-tenant-data-leak
• works-local-fails-hosted

Install

pip install hermes-gpt

Invoke

hermes-gpt (stdio MCP server for local clients) or python server.py --http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 7677 for a local streamable-HTTP MCP endpoint at /mcp
