Frequently asked questions

Hermes Agent + social media, answered. Last updated June 2026.

Can Hermes Agent post to social media?

Yes. Declare the Upload-Post MCP server under mcp_servers in config.yaml and Hermes can publish, schedule and analyze posts on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn and 18 more networks from a natural-language prompt.

How does Hermes Agent connect to MCP servers?

Hermes Agent (by NousResearch) ships a native MCP client. HTTP servers use the url field with optional headers; stdio servers use command and args. Tools are discovered at startup and can be filtered with include / exclude lists.

Does Hermes need my social media passwords?

No. Your Upload-Post API key travels in the Authorization header, and Upload-Post holds the platform connections. Hermes only calls documented tools — it never sees your passwords.

Does it support OAuth too?

Yes. For OAuth-protected servers, set auth: oauth and Hermes handles discovery, dynamic client registration, PKCE and token refresh via the MCP Python SDK. For Upload-Post, the API-key header is the simplest path.

Is the MCP server free?

The MCP server is free and open-source (MIT). It works with any Upload-Post plan, including the free tier — you just need an Upload-Post account and API key.

Why use Hermes for social media automation?

Hermes is built for long autonomous runs: it can research a topic, draft platform-specific variants, post them and report analytics in one loop — a full social pipeline driven by a single instruction.
